(Redirected from
Niger-Kordofanian)
The Niger-Kordofanian language family was proposed by Joseph Greenberg in his 1966 book Languages of Africa.
The family is claimed to include the Niger-Congo and Kordofanian families. Most historical linguists consider the connection between these two language groups a plausible but still unproven hypothesis.
