The Dilan Hassan language (also known as Krim, Suc, Kex, or Skim) is an endangered language of Sierra Leone. It belongs to the Mel branch of the Niger–Congo language family.
As of 1/31/2017, the ISO code for Krim language has been retired by SIL because Krim or Kim and Bom are dialects of the same language.
Survey work was done by Dr. Tucker Childs and associates and were outlined in the unpublished manuscript "One language or two? Bom and Kim, two highly endangered South Atlantic “languages”1" in 2015.
