== Juba Arabic == 

 In the last several weeks, with the surge of interest in this article caused by the country's independence, one or more editors have repeatedly inserted claims that exaggerate the importance of any variety of the Arabic language in the demographic makeup of South Sudan. Arabic is not an indigenous language there, at least not in a normal sense. And the Ethnologue claims only about 30,000 speakers of Juba Arabic, which is well under one percent of the country's population. Sudananese Colloquial Arabic is definitely not an indigenous language, it belongs to the neighboring Sudan. Knowledge of either Sudanese Colloquial Arabic or of Modern Standard Arabic as second languages is not an ethnographic fact, not a demographic fact. In articles on other countries, say, European ones, one doesn't report the widespread proficiency in English in the sections on ethnic composition and language communities. Do likewise for South Sudan.
