Kelo is classified as Critically Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

Kelo is a moribund Nilo-Saharan language spoken by the Tornasi people in Sudan.

A closely related variety called Beni Sheko has been documented by Bender (1997).[2] Beni Sheko speakers consider themselves to be part of the same ethnic groups as Kelo speakers (Bender 1997: 190).
