Gule, also known as Anej, Fecakomodiyo, and Hamej,^[1] is an extinct language of Sudan. Although it has been classified as one of the Koman languages, Zamponi (2025) unambiguously identifies Gule as a language isolate.^[4] It is poorly attested, and Hammarström judges the evidence to be insufficient for classification as Koman.^[5] Others however accept it as Koman, though too poorly attested to be much help in reconstructing that family.^[6]

The language was spoken by the inhabitants of Jebel Gule in Blue Nile State, Sudan.^[5] Speakers had shifted to Arabic by the late 20th century.
