Katla , also known as Kaalak , is a Kordofan language , closely related to a neighboring language called Tima .
However, the language is quite different from the other languages of the Niger-Congo language family .
The number of speakers in the Katla is decreasing as the speakers are increasingly adopting Arabic, which is Sudan's official language alongside English.
