The Madi people refer to their language as ''Ma'di ti'', literally "Ma'di mouth". The Ma'di people are found in Magwi County in South Sudan, and in Adjumani and Moyo districts in Uganda. Their population is about 390,000 (90,000 in South Sudan). Ma'di is mutually intelligible with Olu'bo, Lugbara, Moru, Avokaya, Kaliko and Logo, all of which are also Moru–Madi languages.
