Kara Language (Korea)
Gaya (伽耶語, 가야어), also rendered Kaya, Kara or Karak, is the presumed language of the Gaya confederacy in ancient southern Korea. Only one word survives that is directly identified as being from the language of Gaya. Other evidence consists of place names, whose interpretation is uncertain. Name The name ''Gaya'' is the modern Korean reading of a name originally written using Chinese characters. A variety of historical forms are attested. Generally it was transcribed as ''Kaya'' (加耶) or ''Karak'' (伽落), but the transcription in the oldest sources is ''Kara'' (加羅, Middle Chinese ''kæla''). It is referred to as ''Kara'' and ''Mimana'' in the 8th-century Japanese history '' Nihon shoki''. Beckwith coined the term ''pre-Kara'' for a hypothetical Japonic language spoken in southern Korea at the time of the Yayoi migration to Kyushu (4th century BC).

Kara Languages
The Kara languages are Tar Gula and possibly related Central Sudanic languages of the Central African Republic. The name ''Kara'' is used for numerous other peoples of the region, and so is often ambiguous. ''Ethnologue'' 16 lists three Kara languages, Gula, Furu (Bagero), and Yulu (Yulu–Binga). However, of these, Blench (2012) accepts only Gula. He places Furu with the Kresh dialect cluster and Yulu as an isolate within Bongo–Bagirmi. Nonetheless, he retain the Kara branch, also with three languages: Gula, Kara of Birao, and Kara of Sudan. ''Ethnologue'' treats Kara (Sudan) as a synonym of Gula, being merely the Gula spoken across the border in Sudan. The Kara of Birao it leaves unclassified. However, it lists Fer ''(Dam Fer, Fertit)'' as synonyms; in Blench's and earlier classifications, Fer is a Bagirmi language Bagirmi (also Baguirmi; autonym: ''ɓarma)'' is the language of the Baguirmi people of Chad, belonging to the Nilo-Saharan family.

Tar Gula Language
The Gula language, or ''Tar Gula'', of the Central African Republic, commonly known as Kara, is a Central Sudanic language or dialect cluster. The term "Kara" is also attached to numerous ethnic groups of the region and their languages, and so is often ambiguous. Names ''Ethnologue'' lists ''Gula du Mamoun, Kara'' (of South Sudan) and ''Yamegi'' as synonyms, and ''Molo, Mele, Mot-Mar (Moto-Mara), Sar (Sara), Mere, ''and ''Zura (Koto)'' as dialects. Classification Sources disagree as to whether Gula shares a Kara branch with other languages, with proposed Kara languages in one classification reassigned to other branches in other classifications.

Caranqui Language
Caranqui, or Cara (Kara), is an extinct, probably Barbacoan language of Ecuador. Caranqui was replaced by Quechua, perhaps surviving as late as the 18th century. It seems in turn to have influenced Imbabura Quechua. There are similarities between Caranqui and the Barbacoan languages Pasto Pasto, officially San Juan de Pasto (; "Saint John of Pasto"), is the capital of the department of Nariño, in southern Colombia. Pasto was founded in 1537 and named after indigenous people of the area.

Qwara Language
Qwara, or Qwareña (called "Falasha" (Hwarasa) in some older sources), was one of two Agaw dialects, spoken by a subgroup of the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) of the Qwara area. It is a dialect of Qimant. It is nearly extinct. Several early Falashan manuscripts, using the Ge'ez alphabet, exist; in more recent times, the language has been recorded by several linguists and travellers, starting with Flad in 1866. The language was on the decline in the early 20th century, as it was being replaced by Amharic. During Operation Solomon, most of its remaining speakers were airlifted to Israel, where it continues to lose ground to Hebrew. See also *Kayla dialect Kayla, or Kayliñña ( Ge'ez: ካይላ ''kāylā'', for the people, Ge'ez: ካይልኛ ''kāylññā'', Kayla, Amharic, and Tigrinya for the language) is one of two Agaw dialects formerly spoken by a subgroup of the Beta Israel (Ethiopian ...
