Nilotic languages are a branch of the larger Nilo-Saharan language family. They are primarily spoken by the Nilotic peoples in regions of South Sudan, Sudan, Kenya, and Tanzania. These languages include well-known varieties such as Dinka, Nuer, and Luo, each with its own unique dialects and cultural significance. The Nilotic languages are characterized by their use of tone and complex verb morphology. They often feature a subject-verb-object word order and have a rich system of noun classes. These languages play a crucial role in the identity and cultural practices of the Nilotic communities.
