Sere Languages
The Sere languages (also called the ''Ndogoic'' or ''Sere-Ndogo'' languages) are a proposed family of Ubangian languages spoken in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Several are endangered or extinct. The most populous Sere language is Ndogo of South Sudan, with about 30,000 speakers. Traditionally classified as part of the Sere languages, Feroge–Mangayat and Indri– Togoyo could be separate groups that may not belong within Sere. Languages Per ''Ethnologue'' 16, the structure of the family is as follows: * Feroge–Mangaya: Feroge, Mangayat * Indri–Togoyo (extinct): Indri, Togoyo * Sere–Bviri ** Bai–Viri: Bai, Belanda Viri ** Ndogo–Sere: Ndogo, Sere, Tagbu Although the Sere–Bviri languages are clearly related to each other, it is not clear if they are related to Feroge–Mangayat The Mangayat (also, Bugwa and Bukwa) are an ethnic group living in the South Sudanese state of Western Bahr el Ghazal.

Ubangian Languages
The Ubangian languages form a diverse linkage of some seventy languages centered on the Central African Republic. They are the predominant languages of the CAR, spoken by 2–3 million people, and include the national language, Sango. They are also spoken in Cameroon, Chad, the DR Congo, and South Sudan. External classification Joseph Greenberg (1963) classified the then-little-known Ubangian languages as Niger–Congo and placed them within the Adamawa languages as "Eastern Adamawa". They were soon removed to a separate branch of Niger–Congo, for example within Blench's Savanna languages. However, this has become increasingly uncertain, and Dimmendaal (2008) states that, based on the lack of convincing evidence for a Niger–Congo classification ever being produced, Ubangian "probably constitutes an independent language family that cannot or can no longer be shown to be related to Niger–Congo (or any other family)." Blench (2012) includes Ubangian within Niger–Congo. Gül ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
