Other Information

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “NE Africa; Sudan”, but Shilluk live in the Upper Nile Province and nearby region, which 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.
