lingvo.wikisort.org - LanguageBirri (Bviri) is a nearly extinct, possibly Central Sudanic language[3] of CAR and South Sudan. According to Boyeldieu (2010), its classification as Central Sudanic has yet to be demonstrated,[4] but Starostin (2016) finds its closest relative to be Kresh.

There are two main varieties of Birri, Mboto and Munga. In 1911, a few thousand people were reported in Rafaï, Central African Republic, with a marginal population further to the east in Obo. Stefano Santandrea (1966) wrote a lexicon and grammatical sketch of the Mboto dialect in Deim Zubeir, South Sudan.[5]
