History:

During the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, many of the current ethnic groups in South Sudan made their homes there. The Sudan region in 1820, was full of slaves. Sudan was governed by the British and the Egyptians by the end of the nineteenth century. There was a dichotomy of development between the north and south in the country that persisted for several decades. Many governments over the years found it challenging to win the support of the nation's numerous political constituencies after Sudan gained independence in 1956, particularly in the south of Sudan.

The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) of 2005 led to the country of South Sudan announcing its independence on July 9, 2011. The CPA granted that, within six years, the country will hold an independence referendum.

Culture:

South Sudan's culture has been greatly influenced by its neighbors as a result of the lengthy civil war. Many South Sudanese who had fled the country ended up in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda, where they interacted with the locals and picked up their languages and cultures.

Even when living in exile or the diaspora, most South Sudanese place a high value on knowing one's tribal origin, traditional culture, and dialect.

English, Swahili, Juba Arabic, their native African language, or a combination of all of these are used frequently by South Sudanese musicians.

Language:

There are more than 60 indigenous languages spoken in South Sudan, making it a multilingual nation. English, which was first spoken in the area during colonial times, is now the official language of the nation.
