Niger-Kordofanian language family - Niger-Kordofan group (English spelling)
Congo-Kordofanian is the largest language group in Africa, found throughout most of sub-Saharan Africa, from the western tip of West Africa to East Africa and even South Africa. It is subdivided into the Niger-Congo and Kordofanian languages. The former is a large language group that includes the Bantu languages ​​(Swahili is one of them), which are well known in Japan, while the latter is a small language group concentrated in the Kordofan Mountains of Sudan, and consists of five groups: Heiban, Talodi, Rashad, Kadugli, and Katla.
