"Most of these settlements are now deserted and there are reckoned to be perhaps a hundred Kufo speakers still resident in the hills. The numbers of refugee communities are hard to reckon, but there are probably less than a thousand and some of these are now semi-speakers."
SUPORTE GOVERNAMENTAL
"The situation is made worse by the fact that they are ‘intentionally endangered’, actively discouraged by government policy."
COMENTÁRIOS SOBRE O CONTEXTO DO IDIOMA
"The first efforts of literacy in Kufo began in 1994, with the production of a primer and work on the language has continued ever since."
Ortografia
"... many Nuba groups have language committees and are active in promoting writing and orthography."
LUGARES
Khartoum and Kosti
DESCRIÇÃO DA LOCALIDADE
