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.

Oliver, I think this is your area... According to
Ethnologue, Dinka
[1] is a Nilo-Saharan "macrolanguage", with languages Northeastern
Dinka [2], Northwestern Dinka [3], South Central Dinka [4],
Southeastern Dinka [5] and Southwestern Dinka [6].
The whole population is 1.4 million, it's about very poor South Sudan.
Is there a sense to create one Wikipedia or to go with separate
languages?
