Editing Nilo-Saharan languages (section)

===Blench 2010===
With a better understanding of Nilo-Saharan classifiers, and the affixes or number marking they have developed into in various branches, Blench believes that all of the families postulated as Nilo-Saharan belong together. He proposes the following tentative internal classification, with Songhai closest to Saharan, a relationship that had not previously been suggested:

{{clade
|1=[[Kunama languages|Kunama]]
|2=[[Berta languages|Berta]]
|4={{clade
|1={{clade
|1=[[Koman languages|Koman]]
|2=[[Gumuz languages|Gumuz]]
}}
|3={{clade
|1={{clade
|1=[[Saharan languages|Saharan]]
|2=[[Songhay languages|Songhay]]
}}
|2=[[Kuliak languages|Kuliak]]
|3={{clade
|1=[[Maban languages|Maban]]
|2=[[Fur languages|Fur]]
|3=[[Kadu languages|Kadu]]
|4=[[Central Sudanic languages|Central Sudanic]]
|5=[[Eastern Sudanic languages|Eastern Sudanic]]
}}
