Logorik is classified as Critically Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger

Logorik, Subori, or Saburi is a (critically) endangered[2][3] language spoken in Eastern Sudan and Western Chad.[4][5]

General information

It is a part of the Nilo-Saharan group and the subcategory of the Eastern Daju languages.[4][5] It is spoken by the Subori people in the Nuba Mountains and South Kordofan.[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]

  2. ^ /f/ is quite rare. It usually appears in loanwords and other borrowings.[4]

Also, it is worth mentioning, that the glottal stops, symbolized by (ʔ), are present in Logorik.[4]

Tonality

Logorik is a tonal language, meaning there are high tones and falling tones.[4] When it comes to tones, the tone of a preceding syllable must be different from the one coming after it.[4]

Grammar

Genus

There is no feminine genus in the Logorik language morphology-wise.[4] There are however six other classes and their plural form depends on the final position of the singular form.[4]

Nouns

A plural form of a noun is created by adding an appropriate suffix.[4]

Verbs

There are only perfective and imperfective conjugations documented.[4] Prefixes and suffixes play a very important role in signaling the context/tense, e.g. future tense is shown by the prefix and háŋ-; habitual activities by a suffix -cà.[4]
