Dahalo is an endangered South Cushitic language spoken by about 400 people in Kenya.
It is largely spoken in the area of the Tana River. Many, if not all, of its speakers are bilingual in Swahili.
It is distinguished by its using clicks as phonemes (although it is not related to or, currently, in contact with the Khoisan languages).
