The EasternSudaniclanguages form a family of languages spoken from southern Egypt to northern Tanzania, usually considered a subfamily of Nilo-Saharan, following Joseph Greenberg.
Nubian (and possibly Meroitic) give EasternSudanic the earliest written attestations of any sub-Saharan African language; however, its largest branch by far is Nilotic, spread by extensive and comparatively recent conquests throughout East Africa.
Before the spread of Nilotic, EasternSudanic was centered in present-day Sudan (although the name refers to the region of Sudan, not the country, as opposed to Central Sudanic.)
Northern Sudan, Dar Fur Province, Dar Masalit and Nyala District, scattered colonies in Dar Fongoro and to the south and east, and Gedaref region; Geneina, Mistere, and Habila Kajangise.
Spoken by the Mahas in Sudan and the Fedicca in Egypt.
Southern Sudan, Torit District, eastern Equatoria Province, east and southeast of the Luluba and the Lokoya.
