Welcome to the world, South Sudan and good luck to its people
#1
I've heard today that South Sudan has come into being. They have officially seceded from the northern part. The political situation is still dicey and fighting and torture are still being carried out in some places, but basically let's hope this secession is for the good of its people. This reminds me of our friend Sudanese who first mentioned this secession to me some months ago.

One more African capital to learn.... :tongue::tongue::tongue: JUBA

South Sudan is composed of more than 200 ethnic groups and is, along with the adjacent Nuba Hills, one of the most linguistically diverse regions of Africa. However, many of the languages are quite small, with only a few thousand speakers.
The official language is English. Colloquial Arabic is spoken widely, though Juba Arabic, a pidgin, is spoken around the capital. The most populous language by native speakers is Dinka, a dialect continuum spoken by 2–3 million people. Dinka is a Western Nilotic language; closely related to its South Sudan's second most populous language, Nuer, and a bit more distant is Shilluk. Major Eastern Nilotic languages are Bari and Otuho. Besides the Nilotic family, Zande, South Sudan's third most populous language, is Ubangian. Jur Modo is of the Bongo-Bagirmi family.
