Avokaya (also spelled Abukeia Avukaya or in Arabic script ابوكية) is a Central Sudanic language spoken in southern South Sudan and parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Avokaya speakers occupy a contiguous area along both sides of the international boundary with Maridi in South Sudan and Faradje in Congo as the main centres of the language. In 2002 the number of Avokaya speakers in South Sudan was estimated to be 40000 replacing the inaccurate 1982 estimate of 15000.
