Temein, also known as Ron(g)e, is an Eastern Sudanic language spoken by the Temein people of the Nuba Hills in Sudan.
Ronge is an approximation of the endonym. Stevenson reports the people are ɔ̀rɔ́ŋɡɔ̀ʔ and the language lɔ́ŋɔ na rɔŋɛ; Dimmendaal has ɔ́ràntɛ̀t for a person, kààkɪ́nɪ́ ɔ́rɔ̀ŋɛ̀ for the people, and ŋɔ́nɔ́t ná ɔ́rɔ̀ŋɛ for the language.
