**List: Dinka Ministry the Bible ( the Bible ) Dinka: Bor... "The Dinka, or Jieng, are a pastoral people numbering about 1 million.   Their numerous tribes are scattered throughout south- central Sudan, on both sides of the White Nile in Bahr el Ghazal and Upper Nile Provinces.   The Dinka tribes are some- times divided into North, East, West, and Central groups. Their Western Nilotic language is spoken with major dialects that generally correspond to these regional divisions. The Bor Dinka are a tribe living in the vicinity of Bor, east of the Nile.   Within the Eastern Dinka Group, which is served by the Bor dialect, are also such tribes as the Borathoc, Ghol, and Nyarweng."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] DINKA or JIENG: Bor dialect--1000 Tongues, 1939   [Info only: n.d.
