It is also spoken in southern Sudan in Magwi County Eastern Equatoria states Song of Lawino, well known in African literature, was written in Acoli by Okot p'Bitek, although its sequel, Song of Ocol, was written in English.{{ref|heron1}} Acoli, Alur, and Lango have between 84 and 90 per cent of their vocabulary in common{{ref|ladefoged2}} and are mutually intelligible.{{Dubious|date=April 2015|at 84/90% common vocabulary intelligibility is significantly hampered}} However, they are often counted as separate languages because their speakers are ethnically distinct. Labwor (Thur), once considered a dialect of Acoli, may not be intelligible with it.[3] PhonologyAcoli has vowel harmony: all vowels in a word have to belong to a single class (e.g. {{IPA|[kojo]}} the cold vs. {{IPA|[kɔjɔ]}} to separate). There are two sets of five vowels, distinguished by the feature [+/-ATR].
Acoli is a tonal language. Thus, some words may be distinguished by tone alone, e.g. bèl (low) 'wrinkled' vs. bél (high) 'corn' and kàl (low) 'place enclosed by a palisade' vs. kál (high) 'millet'. Tone furthermore plays a role in verb conjugation. Recent work{{neutrality|date=April 2019}}The above were the old work of the missionaries Alfered Malandra and Crazzolara published in 1955. However, a more up-to-date Acoli orthography by Janet Lakareber shows that a vowel in Acoli language has more than two pronunciations.[4] A monosyllabic word in Acoli has 14 different pronunciations. This is explained in the nine books of Acoli Accented Orthography. Notes and referencesNotes
