Name of the language (in the language itself, not in English) is Dinka? Wikipedia suggests the name is Thuɔŋjäŋ
Language name
Dinka seems reasonnable, as at least one source gives another native name, Jiëëng.
Thuɔŋjäŋ is given on the English Wikipedia. Other resources repeat (the unsourced) Wikipedia article or, especially reference like CLDR and Ethnologue, says nothing. Most important, this litany of sources offers a Dinka or Thuɔŋjäŋ, letting . Furthermore, Google Scholar and http://www.language-archives.org/language/din articles speaks of some language recent evolution.
We'll update the language name when we'll have convincing evidence of a language name, from native speakers of different dialects of this macro-language for example.
