Lafofa languages
Lafofa, also Tegem–Amira, is a Niger–Congo dialect cluster spoken in the southern Nuba Mountains in the south of Sudan. Blench considers the Tegem and Amira varieties to be distinct languages; as Lafofa is poorly attested, there may be others.
Greenberg classified Lafofa as one of the Talodi languages, albeit a divergent one, but without much evidence. More recently this position has been abandoned, and Lafofa is left unclassified within Niger–Congo. Norton tentatively finds Lafofa to be closest to the Ijoid languages.
Unlike the neighbouring Talodi-Heiban languages which have SVO word order, the Lafofa languages have SOV word order.
