Nubian: Fiadidja...
"Nubian is spoken in several dialects along the
Nile Valley from
Aswan to Khartoum, in Dar Fur, and in the northern areas of the
Nuba Hills. The name Nuba (n’b) was already in use by
the
ancient Egyptians, and after the decline of the Ramesid Empire
the powerful Nubian kingdom of Cush even conquered and
ruled Egypt (8th to 7th centuries B.C.).
During the 3rd century A.D., a powerful Negro tribe, the
Nobati, settled among the Nubians. From the fusion of these two
peoples emerged the Kingdom of Dongola, or Makurra. Con-
verted to Christianity in the 6th century, and allied with the Ethio-
pic Christian community, the Nubians were finally conquered
and reconverted by the Musl_ms in 1366. During the struggle
with the Arabs, a colony of Nubian refugees moved to the south,
where they settled in the hill country around Kordofan. Thus the
hills, the original inhabitants, and their Koalib-group languages
all came to be known as ‘Nuba’.
Old Nubian, the language spoken during the period of the
Christian Kingdom of Dongola, is well attested by extent
documents. The predominant literary language of the early
period is closely related to the present-day Mahasi dialect. The
Fiadidja, or Fedicca, dialect, closely related to Mahasi, is spoken
in the Nile valley north of the Egyptian border. The Nubians are
also sometimes known as Barabra (‘Barbarian’) by the
Egyptians." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
