Информация из: “Reports on field research: the situation of endangered languages in the Sudan and some notes on Kufo (online article)” . Blench, Roger M. (2004)
"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."
ГОСУДАРСТВЕННАЯ ПОДДЕРЖКА
"The situation is made worse by the fact that they are ‘intentionally endangered’, actively discouraged by government policy."
О КОНТЕКСТЕ ЯЗЫКА
"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."
Письменность
"... many Nuba groups have language committees and are active in promoting writing and orthography."

ОПИСАНИЕ РЕГИОНА
