Berta, AKA Wetawit, is spoken by the Berta (also Bertha, Barta, Burta) in Sudan and Ethiopia. It is a language isolate which has been also included as branch of the proposed Nilo-Saharan language family. It has the typical word order subject–verb–object. It is a tonal language. It has significantly influenced some of the Eastern Jebel languages. The Arabic name Beni-Shangul (as in the Ethiopian province of Benishangul-Gumuz) derives from a Berta expression (with bele rock/stone misanalyzed as Arabic beni sons). Berta has several dialects (some quite divergent) including: Bake, Dabuso, Gebeto, Mayu, and Shuru. Fadashi and Undu are divergent enough to be considered separate languages, in which case the dialect name Gebeto may be used for the rest of Berta.
