Chad (; ), officially the Republic of Chad, is a
landlocked country in
central Africa. It is bordered by
Libya to the north,
Sudan to the east, the
Central African Republic to the south,
Cameroon and
Nigeria to the southwest, and
Niger to the west. Due to its distance from the sea and its largely
desert climate, the country is sometimes referred to as the "Dead Heart of Africa". Chad is divided into three major geographical regions: a desert zone in the north, an arid
Sahelian belt in the centre and a more fertile
Sudanese savanna zone in the south.
Lake Chad, after which the country is named, is the largest
wetland in Chad and the second largest in Africa. Chad's highest peak is the
Emi Koussi in the
Sahara, and the largest city by far is
N'Djamena, the capital. Chad is home to over 200 different
ethnic and
linguistic groups. French and Arabic are the official languages.
Islam is the most widely practiced religion.
