Gedar is spoken from Guider——to the: Chadian border in the——Far North Region of Cameroon, in Mayo-Kani Department (arrondissements of Kaélé and Moutourwa), and in the "North Region," Mayo-Louti Department. Baynawa means "my friend" in the Gedar language. And this name is what some people use for the Gedar (ALCAM 1983).
