Acheron (Asheron) is a language in the Talodi family spoken in South Kordofan, Sudan.
Acheron derives from the Arabic word aɟɟur-uun [sic] which means "innocent people", it was later "indigenised as /acʊrʊn/" and turned into /aʃərɔn/. The autoethonym in Acheron is /wɑ-rəmɛ/ for the people and /ɡə-rəmɛ/ for the language.
The number of active speakers is estimated to be 9,800. This number includes the community members and "diaspora speakers" in other Sudanese towns and abroad.
