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 The Sudan (Sudan, The). These languages were formerly classified as part of the Kordofanian group within the Niger-Congo language family (Niger-Congo languages), but they are now widely believed to form a subgroup within the Nilo-Saharan language family (Nilo-Saharan languages). 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.
