Baká is an ethnic group found in South Sudan. The majority the Baká people are found in Western and Central Equatoria Regions in South Sudan. In South Sudan, the Baka people are mainly Christians and number about 68,300 people (1993).  The Baká are of the Central Sudanic group and they inhabit the land mass stretching from the Suuwe Stream to Logo around Yei. The majority of them have inhabited the areas of Maridi for thousands of years. A 2013 survey reported that the Baká were the largest ethnic group in Maridi County, South Sudan. They also live in Baká Boma, Tore Payam, Yei County, South Sudan. Between 1926 and 1930, E. E. Evans-Pritchard, while conducting fieldwork in the Southern Sudan referred to the Bakápeople as the Central Sudanic group (not the Baká Pygmies of Congo and elsewhere) and they inhabit the areas of Maridi and Yei and they form the largest ethnic group in Maridi. Evans Pritchard further stated that the Baká people are linguistically akin to the Morokodo, Bongo, Nyamusa and ‘Beli of Southern Sudan.
