Central Sudanic Languages

Central Sudanic is a family of about sixty languages which have been included in the proposed Nilo-Saharan language family. Central Sudanic languages are spoken in the Central African Republic, Chad, South Sudan, Uganda, Congo (DRC), and Cameroon. They include the Pygmy languages Efé and Asoa.
