Moro is classified as Definitely Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger
Moro is a Kordofanian language spoken in the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan, Sudan.[2] It is part of the Western group of West Central Heiban Kordofonian languages and belongs to the Niger-Congo phylum.[3] In 1982 there were an estimated 30,000 Moro-speakers. This was before the second Sudan civil war and therefore the recent number of speakers might differ. There can be noted an influence of Arabic and it is suspected that today approximately a fourth of all Moro vocabulary has a relation or an origin in the Arabic language.[4]
