The Northern Eastern Sudanic, Eastern k Sudanic, Ek Sudanic, NNT or Astaboran languages form a primary division of the yet-to-be-demonstrated Eastern Sudanic family. They are characterised by having a /k/ in the pronoun "I/me", as opposed to the Southern Eastern Sudanic languages, which have an /n/. Nyima has yet to be conclusively linked to the other languages, and would appear to be the closest relative of Ek Sudanic rather than Ek Sudanic proper.
The most famous Astaboran language is Nubian. According to Claude Rilley, the ancient Meroitic language appears on limited evidence to be closest to languages of this group.
