Aringa, also known as Low Lugbara is a Central Sudanic language spoken by the Aringa ethnic group in the northwestern corner of Uganda, north of Lake Albert. It is related to the language spoken by the Lugbara and Ma'di peoples.

Aringa is sometimes considered a dialect of Lugbara language [Douglas Boone, Richard Watson, 1999. " [http://www.sil.org/silesr/1999/001/mmsurvey-w97.pdf Moru-Ma'di Survey Report.] " SIL Electronic Survey Reports SILESR 1999-001.] , other times a separate language [ [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=luc Ethnologue] ] The speakers of Lugbara and Ma'di both consider Aringa to be a separate but related language.
