Acholi as an Important Language to Uganda and Sudan
Acholi, also spelled Acoli, also called Gang or Shuli, ethnolinguistic group of Northern Uganda and southernmost Sudan. Numbering more than one million at the turn of the 21st century, they speak a Western Nilotic language of the Eastern Sudanic branch of the Nilo-Saharan family and are culturally and historically related to their traditional enemies, the neighboring Lango. The Acholi are the descendants of a variety of Luo-speaking peoples who are believed to have migrated from adjacent areas of the southern Sudan into what is now the Acholi district of Uganda three or four centuries ago.
