Bari is an eastern nilotic language spoken by the Karo people who mostly inhabit South Sudan and parts of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They consist of many distinct ethnic groups who each have their own dialect and of which the Bari people is only one, which is why the language is also called Karo or Kutuk. The other ethnic groups are: Pojulu, Kakwa, Nyangwara, Mundari/Mandari, and Kuku. All in all there are about 750 000 native speakers.
Bari is a tonal language with vowel harmony and SVO word order and uses a modified Latin alphabet.
