Description
This collection of texts showcases the Arabic dialect as spoken in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Extracts were chosen for their native speech characteristics, but also provide insight into local culture and traditions.

Of value to anyone interested in Sudan Arabic culture and linguistics, this book offers a unique window into the region's language and customs.
