===Ehret 2001=== Ehret's updated classification was published in his book ''A Historical–Comparative Reconstruction of Nilo-Saharan'' (2001).<ref name="Ehret 2001">Ehret (2001)</ref> This model is notable in that it consists of two primary branches: Gumuz–Koman, and a ''Sudanic'' group containing the rest of the families (see ''[[Sudanic languages#Nilo-Saharan|Sudanic languages § Nilo-Saharan]]'' for more detail). Also, unusually, Songhay is well-nested within a core group and coordinate with Maban in a "Western Sahelian" clade, and Kadu is not included in Nilo-Saharan. Note that "Koman" in this classification is equivalent to [[Komuz languages|Komuz]], i.e. a family with Gumuz and Koman as primary branches, and Ehret renames the traditional Koman group as "Western Koman". {{clade |label1=Nilo-Saharan |1={{clade |label1=[[Komuz languages|Koman]] |1={{clade |1=[[Gumuz languages|Gumuz]] |2=[[Koman languages|Western Koman]] }} |label2=[[Sudanic languages#Nilo-Saharan|Sudanic]] |2={{clade |1=[[Central Sudanic languages|Central Sudanic]] |label2=Northern Sudanic |2={{clade |1=[[Kunama languages|Kunama]] |label2=[[Saharo-Sahelian languages|Saharo-Sahelian]] |2={{clade |1=[[Saharan languages|Saharan]] |label2=Sahelian |2={{clade |1=[[Fur languages|Fur]] |2={{clade |label1=Trans-Sahel |1={{clade |label1=Western Sahelian |1={{clade |1=[[Songhay languages|Songhay]] |2=[[Maban languages|Maban]] }} |2=[[Eastern Sudanic languages|Eastern Sahelian]] (Eastern Sudanic) (including [[Berta languages|Berta]]) }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }}
