Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “NE Africa; Sudan; White Nile”, but the White Nile is located in South Sudan, which gained political independence from Sudan in 1911. The Place field has been amended accordingly. [JD 09/01/2017]

Group: The Shilluk live in Upper Nile Province, South Sudan, between Nile and Kordofan Province boundary, from Latitude 11 in the north to about 80 miles west of Tonga; also on the east bank of the Nile around the junction of the Nile and Sobat rivers, and for about 20 miles up the Sobat River.
