It is closely related to Tama with some researchers speaking of a Tama-Assangori continuum.

[2][3][4] Sungor is spoken in an area located to the south of Biltine and to the north of Adré (Ouaddaï) in Chad, as well as in Darfur in Sudan.

Sungor is most likely a tonal language with a high and low tone, e.g. 'worm' dút and 'big' dùt.

[7][3] Examples for height assimilation include plural suffixes -u,-uk, and -uɲ which trigger the root vowel /a/ to be raised to /ɔ/ as in 'raven' gárá changing into 'ravens' gɔrú .

Another example are suffixes -i and -iŋ which trigger the root vowel /a/ to be raised to /ɛ/ as in 'house' wál changing into 'houses' wἐlί.

Similarly to other Sudanese languages that also use noun classes, Sungor distinguishes meaning through the use of suffixes.

Lukas[3] lists 31 different suffix pairs which do not necessarily constitute separate noun classes.

If a possessive follows a plural, it is pluralised by adding -uŋ, e.g. 'our hearts' omulu uŋunuŋ.

'Who' translates to nấrē, 'which' to nấnē, and 'what' to nímmōrī or nim as an alternative expression.

To differentiate whether 'someone' refers to a man or woman, the respective terms follow.

Temporal adverbs are, for example, 'daily' abad hḯnik, 'today' dấdo, 'always' dīman, 'yesterday' ệrē, 'now' hása, 'tomorrow' súsekē.

Adjectives form plurals by adding a suffix, e.g. 'small, young' elit | eliŋa (Sg.

[3] Future tense conditionals are formed by adding suffix -ŋnē, e.g. 'to know' njel and 'if I will know' ninjilisáiŋnē.

[3] Imperatives in Sungor differ based on the present tense verb group a word falls into.
