Garre (also known as Af-Garre) is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken by the Garre people inhabiting southern Somalia, Ethiopia and northern Kenya. It belongs to the family's Cushitic branch, and has an estimated 57,500 speakers. Garre has similarities with the Aweer language (Boni).[3][4][5] However, its speakers are physically and culturally distinct from the Aweer people.[6]
