Dair (also Dabab, Daier, Thaminyi) is a moribund Hill Nubian language spoken in the northern Nuba Mountains in the south of Sudan. It was spoken by around 1,000 people in 1978 in the Jibaal as-Sitta hills, between Dilling and Delami.^[1]

According to a wordlist by German explorer Werner Munzinger, in his 1864 book Ostafrikanische Studien (East African Studies), the Dair language was called Kuliniri by the local people at that time.^[2]
