Bai people (South Sudan)
Ethnic group in South Sudan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bai people are an ethnic group speaking the Bai language in South Sudan. The Bai language is a Niger–Congo language. There are several thousand Bai. The Bai people mostly inhabit the Southern Sudanese state of Western Bahr el Ghazal.[1] Their population declined likely due to centuries of slave raids and invasions.[2]
Religion
Little is known about the Bai peoples' religion, but it can be assumed that they practice traditional African religion.[3][better source needed] Many have converted to Islam.[2]
