Katcha-Kadugli-Miri
Kadugli, also Katcha-Kadugli-Miri or Central Kadu, is a Kadu language or dialect cluster spoken in Kordofan. Stevenson treats the varieties as dialects of one language, and they share a single ISO code, though Schadeberg (1989) treats them as separate languages. Dialects There are five commonly cited varieties. Three of them are rather divergent, on the verge of being distinct languages: *Katcha ''(Tolubi, Dholubi)'' *Kadugli proper ''(Dakalla, Talla, Dhalla, Toma Ma Dalla, Kudugli, Morta)'' *Miri However, they share a single orthography and use the same literacy materials (''Ethnologue''). Of the two other commonly cited varieties, ''Damba'' is somewhat closer to Kadugli, while ''Tumma'' appears to be a (sub)dialect of Katcha. Villages in which the dialects are spoken according to the 22nd edition of ''Ethnologue'': *''Katcha'' dialect: Belanya, Dabakaya, Farouq, Kafina, Katcha, and Tuna villages *''Kadugli'' dialect: ’Daalimo, Kadugli, Kulba, Murta, Takko, and Thappare vil ...
