The Daju languages are spoken in isolated pockets by the Daju people across a wide area of Sudan and Chad, in parts of the regions of Kordofan, Darfur, and Wadai. They belong to the Eastern Sudanic subfamily of Nilo-Saharan.〔(Ethnologue report for Nilo-Saharan, Eastern Sudanic, Western, Daju languages ) retrieved May 21, 2011〕 ==Languages== They are sub-classified as follows, following Stevenson 1956: * Eastern Daju: * * Shatt in the Shatt Hills southwest of Kadugli. (The name "Shatt" is also applied to other unrelated languages of the area.) * * Liguri in the Nuba Hills, Sudan * Western Daju: * * Daju Mongo in Dar Daju, Chad * *Sila in Dar Sila, Chad * * Nyala around Nyala in Darfur, Sudan * *Beigo (extinct) in southern Darfur * * Njalgulgule in South Sudan on the Sopo River Proto-Daju has been partially reconstructed by Robin Thelwall (1981). In his judgement, the Eastern Daju languages separated from the others perhaps as much as 2000 years ago, while the Western Daju languages were spread more recently, perhaps by the Daju state which dominated Darfur from about 1200 AD until scattered after the death of Kasi Furogé, the Daju king, and replaced by the Tunjur. The principal phonetic difference between the two branches is the reflex of proto-Daju *ɣ, reflected as Western *r and Eastern *x. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daju languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
