Maslam is spoken in Maltam. Sahu (Sao), a closely related variety, is spoken in Saho, a few kilometers to the north in southern Makari commune, and also in Goulfey and Kousseri communes in the department of Logone-et-Chari. It is also spoken in Chad. In the 1980s, there were 5,000 speakers or slightly fewer in Cameroon (ALCAM 1984).
