Laal is an endangered language isolate spoken by 750 people (as of 2025) in two villages in the Moyen-Chari prefecture of Chad on opposite banks of the Chari River, called Gori (lá), and Damtar (ɓual). It represents an isolated survival of an earlier language group of Central Africa. It is unwritten except in transcription by linguists. According to former Summer Institute of Linguistics-Chad member David Faris, it is in danger of extinction, with most people under 25 shifting to the locally more widespread Bagirmi.

This language first came to the attention of academic linguists in 1977 through Pascal Boyeldieu's fieldwork in 1975 and 1978. His fieldwork was based, for the most part, on a single speaker, Djouam Kadi of Damtar.
