Belanda Bor language

Belanda Bor, or Bor, is a Luo language of South Sudan. Most speakers also use Belanda Viri, which is an unrelated Ubangian language.

Obtaining scientific/linguistic information about the Belanda language posed more challenges than expected. There were many gaps in the history of the language, and many contradictions were encountered.

When the history of the Belanda Boor ethnic group is considered, the reason for this lack of coherence can likely be linked to the conflicts shared by the various ethnic groups, slave raids and civil wars, as most of the Belanda Boor people were forced to leave their homelands and settle in Western Equatoria. Another possible reason for the lack of proper history is the independence of South Sudan, which led to more contradictions and a lack of proper recordings about the Belanda Boor people.

There are currently 40–50,000 speakers of the language in South Sudan.
