La'bi is the esoteric ritual language of male initiation among the Gbaya Kara, the Mbum, and some Sara Laka, in the area of Touboro near where the CAR, Chad, and Cameroon meet. It has no native speakers. It is reported to be an 'Adamawa' language (like Mbum) with substantial Sara (Sara Laka?) loans.^[1]^[2]
