# Nyima languages

The Nyima languages are a pair of languages of Sudan spoken by the Nyimang of the Nuba Mountains that appear to be most closely related to the Eastern Sudanic languages, especially the northern group of Nubian, Nara and Tama.

## Languages

The languages are:

* Ama (Nyimang) — 160,000 speakers
* Dinik (Afitti) — 4,000 speakers (2009)

Claude Rilly (2010) includes reconstructions for Proto-Nyima.
