This includes more than 50 ethnic groups and 600 different tribes. Islam played a pivotal role in the consolidation of tribal unions and kingdoms during the 16th century, and today the tribal divisions in Northern Sudan can be divided into: the Baraabra (Nubian) tribes of the northern Nile valley; the Hadenawa, Bisheriyiin and Bani of the Red Sea Hills; the Arab tribes; and descendants of earlier peoples such as the Nuba, Fur and Ingessana. The major language for Northern Sudan is Arabic. Southern Sudan, south of 10 degrees latitude, has mainly Negroid people speaking a variety of tongues, some of them limited to a very small population, and English.
