 Eastern Sudanic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eastern Sudanic languages form a family of languages spoken from southern Egypt to northern Tanzania, usually considered a subfamily of Nilo-Saharan, following Joseph Greenberg.
Nubian (and possibly Meroitic) gives Eastern Sudanic some of the earliest written attestations of an African language; however, its largest branch by far is Nilotic, spread by extensive and comparatively recent conquests throughout East Africa.
Before the spread of Nilotic, Eastern Sudanic was centered in present-day Sudan (although the name refers to the region of Sudan, not the country, as opposed to Central Sudanic.)

 Anuak Justice Council, Anuak History
In the past the Sudan government had remained aloof from the volatile events along the Ethiopian frontier because of the expense of administering the wild territory between the Sobat and Lake Rudolf, but administrative expense could no longer obscure the fact that the Anuak were estimated to have over 10,000 guns.
Sudan salt was in such demand in western Ethiopia that the Ethiopian government imposed a heavy tax upon it, which C. Walker and the merchants successfully forced to be rescinded to previous levels.

 Sudan - Non-Muslim Peoples
In the 1990s, most of Sudan's diverse non-Muslim peoples lived in southern Sudan, but a number of small groups resided in the hilly areas south of the Blue Nile on or near the border with Ethiopia.
The largest of these groups were the Azande, who comprised 7 to 8 percent of the population of southern Sudan and were the dominant group in western Al Istiwai.
The other groups in southwestern Sudan spoke languages of the central branch of Nilo-Saharan and were scattered from the western Bahr al Ghazal (the Kreish) to central Al Istiwai (the Moru and the Avukaya) to eastern Al Istiwai (the Madi).

For the Sudan in particular, there is the large manu- script collection of R. Stevenson, many of whose grammatical data are included in Tucker and Bryan's (1966) comprehensive volume.
The three proposed classifications of Sudan languages in existence are based on significantly more data than are Meinhofs and Westermann's: Greenberg (1963); Tucker and Bryan (1966), the latter of which forms the basis of this geographical area for Dalby's (1977) "referential" classifi- cation; and Bender (1976).

 THE LINGUISTIC POSITION OF MEROITIC Claude Rilly, CNRS - LLACAN (France)
First, the distinction between the Northern and the Southern branches of Eastern Sudanic had to be firmly established.
For instance, where Proto-North Eastern Sudanic had /g/ in initial position, it became in Meroitic the velar fricative /h/ or /h/: the example displayed in the table below is « meal » or « food », but there are other instances.
So the correspondences between Meroitic and living North Eastern Sudanic languages can be found not only in lexical items, but also in morphological elements.

 ||The Cradle of Nubian Civilisation||
Since there are no indications that the Nuba Mountains were the original home of Eastern Sudanic such distant genetic links are judged to be unconnected with the appearance of those four language groups in the Nuba Mountains.
Genetic relationships within Eastern Sudanic are too distant - and too uncertain - as to permit any inferences about migration at the time depth with which we are here concerned.
Note that Stevenson's division into Eastern, Central and Western Kadugli is only in part borne out by this calculation; in particular, his Eastern division consisting of Keiga, Kamdang and Kanga/Kufa appears to be non-coherent.
