"The only published data are in a 100-word list in Doornbos and Bender 1983, which was taken from a 200-word list obtained by Paul Doornbos. The full 200-word list has been typed up by Paul Whitehouse and is available to interested linguists (Doornbos 1981). The number of speakers was estimated at 1,000 in Doornbos and Bender 1983:59–60. Nothing further is known about its endangerment status."

- LOCATION DESCRIPTION
"Kujarge was first reported by Doornbos and Bender (1983:59–60) with a 100-word list, and this remains the only known sighting of the language. It is based on reports by Doornbos (1981), who met speakers on two different occasions in 1981 near Foro Boranga, on the Sudan side of the Chad-Sudan border. The informant reported that the language is spoken in seven villages in Chad, near Jebel Mirra (11°45’ N, 22°15’ E) and scattered among the Fur and Sinyar in the lower Wadi Azum valley."
