The Toronaskiot language is a Cordofan language that was extinct in 2011 and was once spoken in Sudan .
Most of the speakers have adopted Arabic as their mother tongue. Some can also use Tira as a second language. Torona belongs to the Talodi-Heiban language group within the Niger-Congo language family .
She is considered a victim of the restrictive Islamization policy of the Sudanese central government, which only allows the English language, the Arabic language and thus only Islam as subjects.
