History of Alur
Alur is a Western Nilotic language spoken in the southern West Nile region of Uganda and the northeastern Ituri Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The language's subdialects are Jokot, Jonam/Lo-Naam, Mambisa and Wanyoro.
Is Alur Hard to Learn?
Alur's tonal system and Nilotic verb structure have little overlap with European grammar, so learners are essentially starting from scratch. It also has several subdialects (Jokot, Jonam, Mambisa, Wanyoro), and because it straddles the Uganda-DRC border, published teaching material is scarce and inconsistent between regions.
