Danagla

The Danagla (Arabic: الدناقلة, "People of Dongola") are a Nubian tribe in northern Sudan primarily settling between the third Nile cataract and al Dabbah. Along with Kenzi, Fadicca, Halfawi, Sikot, and Mahas, they form a significant part of the Nubians. In addition, they have historically lived in proximity to their Shaigiya and Ja'alin neighbors. They speak the Nubian Dongolawi or Andaandi Language, its threatened by complete replacement by Arabic, although there is a lot of initiatives to revive it among the young generations It is still spoken by a sizeable minority of the population, especially among the elders alongside the Sudanese Arabic dialect.
