What are some unique things about your language?

[Beja]

Oh, all right.
I've heard of the Hala'ib triangle dispute, but I thought that their territory stretched into what is indisputably Egypt, not just that triangle. Guess I was wrong.
What do you think of Somalis?

Very sweet people and our cultures seem to be pretty different yet similar at the same time.

 

[horumar]

Hala'ib triangle doesn't belong to Egypt. And i'm from Port Sudan.

bal siyaasad ayay nuugu bilaabtay already

although i agree, hala'ib is sudan 100%

 

[horumar]

Then why are these cadaan youtubers stating that both Egypt and Sudan dont want that triangle?


Edit: actually they do want the haliab thing...

Bir tawil is the unwanted land

Only 50k? I feel like I see alot of Hararis though.

Yes you see a lot of them, but that's different to language
Not all the people outside the country speak it especially younger ones. Most households speak Harari as well as Amharic back home so what the children know is a bit from each language, they can understand it all at times but not speak both

 

[adaharari]

32 consonants and 7 vowels in Tigrigna. 1 of which (consonant) is a very rare sound that not many other languages have.
And although shared with others, unique script.

What sound?

I've only heard the beja language once, and that was because of this video:
What is the language actually called? Is it Beja, Bedawi..?

Are the southern Egyptians also Beja?

My family says Bedawi but Beja is also a correct term (just more English-ized I guess".

 

[Beja]

Are the southern Egyptians also Beja?

Southern Egyptians are mostly Nubians but some in the South East are Beja (mostly in the Hala'ib triangle).

 

[Vanguard]

Southern Egyptians are mostly Nubians but some in the South East are Beja (mostly in the Hala'ib triangle).

Do you feel there is affinity between the Nubians and the Beja?

 

[Apollo]

Beja is going to die out sooner or later. It is under heavy attack from Sudanese Arabic.

Most Beja speakers are more competent in Arabic than in Beja. It's over for them.

Southern Egyptians are mostly Nubians but some in the South East are Beja (mostly in the Hala'ib triangle).

Which of the two nations treat the beja better?

Also why did dhegacas mooryaan Bedouins come to Sudan all the way from Arabia?

 

[Beja]

Do you feel there is affinity between the Nubians and the Beja?

Defiantly, cause in Port Sudan there are alot of Nubians living with us and in Khartoum alot of us live with them.

And we both don't like Arabs haha.

What sound?

qh, x, q, q', x', or however else you want to write it in Latin

 

[Apollo]

Beja is the Provençal or Breton of Sudan. Finished.

Probably Sudan since the Egyptian government neglects us.

Sudan has more fertile land than Arabia, that's why they came.

This reminds me, when I visited Valencia, Spain, I had no idea it was a Catalan speaking area until after I left the country. Although not everyone is fluent in it and uses it, it's still apparently used around the community and at home.
