Several Kordofanian languages are spoken in the Nuba hills of Kordofan, in Sudan. They are usually grouped together with the Niger-Congo languages, forming the Niger-Kordofanian languages. The "Tumtum" or Kadu languages were formerly considered Kordofanian, but are now widely seen as Nilo-Saharan. They include Tagoi.
