The Teso–Turkana (or Ateker) languages are a group of closely related Eastern Nilotic languages spoken in southeastern South Sudan, northeastern Uganda, northwestern Kenya, and southwestern Ethiopia. In effect they form a dialect cluster consisting of c.2 million people. According to Gerrit Dimmendaal, most of these languages – Karimojong, Jie, Toposa, Turkana, and Nyangatom – are mutually intelligible, and for the most part differ only in regard to tone.[1] Teso belongs to the same broad group but is not described as being as closely related to Turkana as the others.
The languages are:
- Teso–Turkana
- Teso (Ateso)
- Turkanic
- Turkana
- Karimojong (incl. Jie, Dodoth)
- Toposa (incl. Jiye)
- Nyangatom
