Kordofanian LanguagesSeveral Kordofanian languages are spoken in the Nuba hills of Kordofan, in Sudan. They are usually grouped together with the Niger-Congo languages, forming the Niger-Kordofanian languages. The "Tumtum" or Kadu languages were formerly considered Kordofanian, but are now normally excluded (since Schadeberg 1981c), and widely seen as Nilo-Saharan. They are divided into four subgroups: Ethnically, their speakers form part of the "Nuba". Bibliography - Herman Bell. 1995. The Nuba Mountains: Who Spoke What in 1976?.
