Karekare is spoken in Yobe State, Nigeria, in the area to the north and west of Potiskum, the largest city in Yobe State. It is one of seven languages of the Chadic family indigenous to Yobe State, the others being Bade, Bole, Duwai, Maka, Ngamo, and Ngizim. Karekare is a member of the West Branch of Chadic and is hence related to Hausa, the dominant language throughout northern Nigeria. Karekare's closest linguistic relatives are, however, its neighbors, Ngamo and Bole.
