    • Historical information: Nobiin is a Nile-Nubian language of the Eastern Sudanic language group, and part of the larger Nilo-Saharan language family. Nobiin was traditionally spoken along the Nile River, between the first cataract of the Nile in southern Egypt and Karima in the north of Sudan. Most Nobiin speakers were forcibly removed from their homeland in the 1960s during construction of the Aswan High Dam. There are large Nobiin-speaking populations living in Khartoum and Cairo, as well as a large diaspora community in the US. Because of the scattered speaker community, the current number of Nobiin speakers is unknown (as of November 2021). Most Nobiin speakers also speak Arabic. Nobiin is often written using the Arabic script, but it also has its own orthographic script, Nobiin Agii, based on the Old Nubian script.
    • Scope and content: This collection consists of Nobiin materials collected during a one-semester Field Methods course at Georgetown University, taught by Hannah Sande in Spring 2018 (in addition to some materials collected in the subsequent academic year). The class worked with two native speakers of Nobiin living in the Washington, DC area, Nubantood Khalil and Tanutamon Gerais. The file bundles contain recorded elicitation sessions as well as texts, poems, and proverbs that are transcribed, glossed and translated. File bundle titles reflect the grammatical topics investigated in particular sessions.
