Ateker or Atekerin is a common name for the closely related Jie, Karimojong, Turkana, and Teso peoples and their languages.
Itung\'a and Teso have been used among ethnographers, while the term Teso-Turkana is sometimes used for the languages, which are of Eastern Nilotic stock.
Some anthropologists assert that they are part of a group that migrated from Ethiopia around 1600 A.D. and split into two branches, with one branch moving to present day Kenya to form the Kalenjin group and Maasai cluster.
Ateker further split into four groups to form the Karamojong, Teso Kumam and Lango.
Some historians contest that Lango are part of the Luo who migrated from Southern Sudan, and many Lango identify with the Luo, refuting the theory that they are Ateker.
