The Krongo Nuba also known as Korongo are a sub-ethnic group of the Nuba peoples in the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan state, in southern Sudan. They number several 60,000 persons. This minority is mostly Catholic. There were 21,688 Korongo in 1984 although the number has increased after that.
They live in the Korongo Hills which is south of the Nuba Mountains. The etymology for Korongo is possibly derived from the name of a high (uninhabited) hill in the northern nuba mountains named Dogorongo.
