Shatt is a member of the Eastern Sudanic branch of the Nilo-Saharan language family. It is spoken by about 30,000 people in the west of South Kordofan Province in the south of Sudan, particularly in the villages of Shatt Daman, Shatt Safia and Shatt Tebeldia in the northern Shatt Hills, and also in the Abu Hashim and Abu Sinam areas.
Shatt is also known as Caning. The name Shatt comes from Arabic and means "dispersed". Shatt speakers call their language Caning. It is closely related to Daju and Logorik, and is written with the Latin alphabet.
