The 'Nilotic languages' are a group of Eastern Sudanic languages spoken across a wide area between southern Sudan and Tanzania by the Nilotic peoples, particularly associated with cattle-herding. They are divided into three subgroups:

★ Eastern Nilotic languages

★ Southern Nilotic languages

★ Western Nilotic languages
Before Greenberg's reclassification, the term was used to refer to Western Nilotic alone (with the other two being grouped as "Nilo-Hamitic languages".)
