The Nuba Mountains, located in the West Kordofan and South Kordofan states in the south of Sudan, are inhabited by a diverse set of populations (collectively known as Nuba peoples) speaking various languages not closely related to one another.
The vast diversity of languages among the Nuba Mountains indicates that the mountains served as a retreat area by many people in the past.[1]
