The Temein or Nuba Hills languages are a group of Eastern Sudanic languages spoken in Sudan.
Temein Languages
- Temein (Ronge; 10,000 speakers)
- Doni
- Tese (Dese)
Temein is the most conservative language; Doni and Tese have been strongly influenced by Kadu languages.
In his 2001 classification of the Nilo-Saharan language phylum, Christopher Ehret added the Nyima languages, which Bender considers an Astaboran group, to the Temein family, "a classification which suggests the author has not seriously considered at the relevant data (none of which is referenced in the bibliography)" (Blench 2007:2)
