A list of Nilotic languages would be very useful in this article. As I am not familiar with this topic I have added a request for expert opinion. IrfanAli 21:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think a list would help the article much; it should have more text on the linguistic characteristics, the geographic spread, the subgroups, and the probably history of the family. If you click on the links to the subgroups (Eastern Nilotic, Southern Nilotic, Western Nilotic), you will see lists of individual languages. There simply are too much Nilotic languages to list them all in this article.

So I think the {{expert}} template can be removed. — mark ✎ 06:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

A list of languages is available on the subgroups page, so I have removed the {{expert}}. IrfanAli 07:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
