Truth about Dinka/Jieng/Monyjang tribe of South-Sudan

The Dinka tribe are the largest Nilotic ethnic tribe located in South Sudan. Dinka tribe are also called Jieng and they are one of the most known and special tribes from all over the world. They count as many as over 4 million people and they have no centralized political authority. Dinka people wears little to no clothing. Women would wear skirts made of goat skin and jewelry is common between women. Here are most interesting facts about Dinka tribes of South-Sudan:

Dinka tribe is divided into different 22 sub-communities:

1. Malual Giernyang Dinka: This sub-tribe is the biggest one when it comes to population wise among the Dinka sub-tribes of the republic of South Sudan. But I don’t truly know yet what sub-tribe of Dinka would be the least one in population wise consideration. As my suggestion, I think it would be Thany (Thony) Dinka in Bor County of Jonglei, South Sudan.

2. Rek Dinka

3. Twi Dinka (Twic Mayardit)

4. Mareng Ngok Dinka (Abyei)

5. Ruweng Dinka (Greater Bhar el Ghazal region)

6. Ruweng Dinka (Greater Upper Nile region)

7. Abiliang Dinka

8. Luach Dinka

9. Ager Dinka

10. Dongjol Dinka

11. Paweny Dinka

12. Atar Dinka

13. Gok Dinka (Gok Arol Kachuol)

14. Agar (Pakam) Dinka

15. Ciec (Kiei) Dinka

16. Atuot (Reel) Dinka

17. Aliab Dinka

18. Hol Dinka

19. Nyarweng Dinka

20. Twi Dinka [East]

21. Bor Dinka

22. Thany (Thony) Dinka: It comprises of Akuaak, Modiing, Pamuou, Korooi, Malual, Pariaak just to mention a few. This sub-tribe is always being overlooked, and it is really a different sub-tribe of Dinka but it is often being associated under Dinka Bor. According to history of a currently being known now “Bor town.” The town is really belonging to “Thany Dinka” people. The Thany (Thony) Dinka people are the true owner of Mading Ngeth Angok or in other hand people often call it as “Pan Ngeth Angok.” Word “Thony” in Dinka language is usually means a person whose life always depending on aquatics food produces like fish, hippo, crocodile, etc.  Singular “Thony” and in plural “Thany”.

All of them speak the same language.
