Acheron (Asheron) is a Niger–Congo language in the Talodi family spoken in South Kordofan, Sudan.

Acheron derives from the Arabic word aɟɟur-uun which means "innocent people",[1] it was later "indigenised as acʊrʊn" (Stevenson 1956: 102) and turned into aʃərɔn. The autoethonym in Acheron is wɑ-rəmɛ for the people and ɡə-rəmɛ for the language.[1]

The number of active speakers is estimated to be 9.800.[1] This number includes the community members and "diaspora speakers"[1] in other Sudanese towns and abroad.
