The term "Niloitic" refers to a group of languages spoken primarily in the Nile Valley and surrounding regions, particularly in parts of Sudan and South Sudan. These languages belong to the larger Nilo-Saharan language family and include languages such as Dinka, Nuer, and Shilluk. Niloitic languages are characterized by their unique grammatical structures and rich oral traditions. In addition to language, "Niloitic" can also describe the cultural and ethnic groups associated with these languages. The Niloitic peoples have diverse traditions, lifestyles, and social structures, often centered around pastoralism and agriculture. Their cultural practices are deeply influenced by the geography of the Nile region, which plays a crucial role in their daily lives.
