Nuer Language Digitization Project is community led.
Digitizing Thok Naath (Nuer Mother Tongue)
The world continues to change with the passing of decades, and many African languages are at risk of being lost over time if not actively supported and protected by their speakers. The Nuer language (Thon Naath), one of the oldest languages in the world, is no exception and faces challenges similar to those of other African languages. However, the Nuer people have taken the initiative to ensure that their language endures through the centuries.

According to Wikipedia, “The Nuer language is a Nilotic language of the Western Nilotic group. It is spoken by the Nuer people of South Sudan and in western Ethiopia. The language is very similar to Dinka and Atuot. Nuer language has a Latin-based alphabet. There are also several dialects of Nuer, although all have one written standard.”
