A little comment from me here: Prof. John Myhill from Haifa University was
in contact with me several times about Dinka. He said that he worked with
native speakers on developing a unified standard orthography, and he
uploaded several articles to the Incubator. He's a proponent of one
Wikipedia with the code "din".

I don't know anything else about these languages, and I don't have much of
an opinion myself.
