	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) give Eastern Sudanic the earliest written attestations of any sub-Saharan 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.)

		Languages of the Adamawa-Eastern branch are spoken from northeastern Nigeria east to Sudan, north almost to the Sahara, and south to extreme northern Zaire.
		The Bantu languages were long thought to be an independent language family, partly because of the vast area in which they are spoken, the large number of languages that can be considered Bantu, and the large number of their speakers.

	\|\|The Cradle of Nubian Civilisation\|\|
		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).
		It is nevertheless surprising to observe how few of the N ilo-Saharan languages have either become extinct, or are on the verge of extinction, since 1920, the point from which the recorded information on the peoples and languages of the Sudan starts to achieve some sort of overall coverage (maps 8 and 9).
