Bongo (Bungu), also known as Dor, is a Central Sudanic language spoken by the Bongo people in sparsely populated areas of Bahr al Ghazal in South Sudan. ==Numerals== Bongo has a quinary-vigesimal numeral system. ==Scholarship== The first ethnologists to work with the Bongo language were John Petherick, who published Bongo word lists in his 18611 work, Egypt, the Soudan, and Central Africa; Theodor von Heuglin, who also published Bongo word lists in Reise in das Gebiet des Weissen Nil, &c. 1862-1864 in 1869; and Georg August Schweinfurth, who contributed sentences and vocabularies in his Linguistische Ergebnisse, Einer Reise Nach Centralafrika in 1873. E. E. Evans-Pritchard published additional Bongo word lists in 19371. More recent scholarship has been done by Eileen Kilpatrick, who published a phonology of Bongo in 19851. ==References== ==Further reading== ==External links== Bongo at Gurtong The Jesus Film in Bongo Bongo at WALS Online
