	Oropom language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oropom (or Oworopom, Oyoropom, Oropoi) is an almost certainly extinct African language, once spoken in northeastern Uganda and northwestern Kenya between the Turkwel River, Chemorongit Mountains, and Mount Elgon, by the Oropom ethnic group.
		Harold Fleming also notes that "initial inspection suggests some possible commonality" between Oropom and the Kuliak languages, a probably Nilo-Saharan relic group found in Northern Uganda among such tribes as the Ik.
		However, in the absence of further work, Oropom remains an unclassified language, and is sometimes seen as a language isolate.

	Nilo-Saharan languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Nilo-Saharan languages are a group of African languages spoken mainly in the upper parts of the Chari and Nile rivers, including Nubia.
		Some linguists, including Roger Blench, consider the Kadu languages (also called Kadugli languages or Tumtum) to be Nilo-Saharan, while others follow Greenberg in classing them as Kordofanian languages, or Ehret in considering them a small isolated family.
		The same may reasonably be said of the rather more recently extinct Oropom language in Uganda (if it ever existed), for whom connections with Kuliak or Nilotic have been suggested.

	Kuliak languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kuliak languages (sometimes called Rub) - Ik, Soo, and Nyang'i - are spoken by small relict communities in the mountains of northeastern Uganda.

		It is the first attempt to present not only the synchronic structure and functions of a language but rather to reconstruct, on the basis of its synchronic morphosyntax, the various grammaticalization processes which make up the actual shape of the language.

		In answer, the authors stress that the languages of the Nilo-Saharan group are indeed related, that they have as many common morphological and dictionary features as needed to prove that they are the descendants of the same parent group.
		Languages still spoken are used in Namibia, and Botswana, as well as in small parts of Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

		I've been working on articles on unclassified languages a bit; I'm going to try and track down as many of them as possible, on the off chance that there's a paper in it :D. Oropom language, at least, is ridiculously interesting, considering that it will likely never be classifiable...

		Their languages and customs are now extinct; their blood, if not spilled outright, was long ago mixed with that of other tribes or of their European conquerors.
		In hindsight, we assign the motives for this steady and often brutal genocide to at worst, greed and imperialistic lust for land and power or at least, to ethnocentric ignorance or the good intentions of "civilization" gone tragically awry.

		To obscure the matter, this family is called 'Narrow' Bantu in the language tables at Swahili and Luganda which is because in the past linguists didn't always agree on the exact make-up of the Bantu family (see Narrow Bantu languages for the details).
