TheKadu languages, also known asKadugli–Krongo orTumtum, are a smalllanguage family of theKordofanian geographic grouping, once included inNiger–Congo. However, sinceThilo Schadeberg (1981), Kadu is widely seen asNilo-Saharan. Evidence for a Niger-Congo affiliation is rejected, and a Nilo-Saharan relationship is controversial. A conservative classification would treat the Kadu languages as an independent family.^[1]

Classification

[edit]

Blench (2006) notes that Kadu languages share similarities with multiple African language phyla, including Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan, suggesting a complex history of linguistic convergence and contact.^[2] However, more recently, Blench states that Kadu is almost certainly Nilo-Saharan, with its closest relationship being withEastern Sudanic.^[3]^[4]

Like theNilotic,Surmic, andKuliak languages, Kadu languages have verb-initial word order. However, most otherlanguages of the Nuba Mountains, Darfur, and the Sudan-Ethiopia border region have verb-final word order.^[5]

Branches

[edit]

There are three branches:

Kadu
- Western:Tulishi,Keiga,Kanga
- Central:Kadugli (incl. Miri, Katcha)
- Eastern:Krongo,Tumtum

Classification

[edit]

Hall & Hall (2004),^[6] based on Schadeberg (1987),^[7] classify the languages as follows.

Kadu

Keiga

Kamda, Tulishi

	Damba,Kadugli

	Miri

	Katcha, Tuna

	Kanga, Kufa, Kursi, Lima, Shororo

	Krongo-Abdullah, Tumma

	Krongo-Tabanya

	Kurondi, Talasa,Tumtum

Dafalla (2000) compares 179 cognates in Kadugli, Kamda, Kanga, Katcha, Keiga, Kufa, Miri, Shororo-Kursi, and Tulishi. Dafalla's (2000) results are similarly to those of Schadeberg (1989).

Reconstructions

[edit]

Some Kadu quasi-reconstructions by Blench (2006):^[8]

Gloss	Proto-Kadu
bone	**-kub-
to cut, split	**deŋ-
to dance, sing, play	**bila
give	**-ɲa
head	**-tu
rat, mouse	**-fɛ
five	**turu
