Tidnaal, also known as Midob (also spelt Meidob), is the language of the Midob people of North Darfur, Sudan. It is one of the Nubian languages, which are part of the Nilo-Saharan language phylum. The Midob people call their language tìd-n-áal, literally “speech of the people”. There are an estimated 50,000 Midob speakers in two main dialects, Urrti and Kaageddi, however Claude Rilly (2010:162) lists the dialects of Urrti, Shalkota, and Torti.
