About

Nubia and its remnant languages

Nubia is a region in Africa which starts from Aswan in South Egypt and extends along the Nile River into the whole land of the Sudan. During its shining time, ancient Nubia experienced multilingualism where many tongues co-existed together and were spoken by the early inhabitants. Currently, very few Nubian tongues are still spoken in the region. The Nubian Civilization is one of the ancient worlds’ civilization that prevailed in Africa from the Kermite Kingdom in 2500 B.C. to the Christian era in the sixteenth Century.
