The term "Eastern Nilotic" refers to a branch of the Nilotic languages, which are part of the larger Nilo-Saharan language family. This group is primarily spoken by communities in regions of South Sudan, Kenya, and Tanzania. Eastern Nilotic languages include Maasai, Turkana, and Dholuo, among others, and are characterized by their unique phonetic and grammatical features. Eastern Nilotic speakers often share cultural practices and traditions that are influenced by their pastoral and agricultural lifestyles. These communities typically engage in cattle herding, farming, and fishing, which play significant roles in their social and economic structures. The languages and cultures of Eastern Nilotic peoples contribute to the rich diversity of the African continent.
