Kadu languages

Kadu languages, also called Kadugli-Krongo languages,  group of related languages spoken along the western and southern edge of the Nuba Hills in Sudan. These languages were formerly classified as part of the Kordofanian group within the Niger-Congo language family, but they are now widely believed to form a subgroup within the Nilo-Saharan language family. The name Kadu is based on a widespread word for “people” in the languages of this group. These languages include Krongo, Kufo, Miri, Mudo, Sangali, Talasa, Talla, Tolibi, and Yegang.
