Logorik, Subori, or Saburi, is a (critically) endangered[2][3] language spoken in the Eastern Sudan and Western Chad[4][5].
General information
It is a part pof the Nilo-Saharan group and the subcategory of the Eastern Daju languages. It spoken by the Subori people in the the Nuba Mountains and South Kordofan [4][5]. It is a part of the Nilo-Saharan group and the subcategory of the Eastern Daju languages [4][5].
Meinhof claims, that there are hardly any similarities between this language and other Kordofan languages vocabulary-wise[6]. At the same time, the Logorik-speaking community is overwhelmingly bilingual, other dominating languages being, among others, Arabic, due to the Arabic migration in the region [4][5]. This causes a high percentage of loanwords and grammatical borrowings (mostly Arabic) in the Logorik language [4].
