[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]ausar,or anyone here,are these arabized nubians still basic nubians in culture or more like the black arabs,in other words do the jaaliyin call theselves arabs first or nubians first. i have an idea but i would like to hear your comments first.[/QUOTE] Alot of the bedouin tribes in parts of Egypt and Sudan adapted their culture of the local people,but kept the Arab idenity at the same same. The Nubians themselves became Arabized due to Arab intermarriaged in their family,and thus through this matrilineal decent the Nubians became more Arabized and the elite became more Arabic ethnically. Similar things happened to the Beja people in Eastern Sudan. Fundamentally, the Bedouins of the Western Desert are more culturally Egyptian than they think. The same goes with the Ababda bedouins around Aswan who are arabized Beja people. Still many of their local customs are like that of other Beja people. Most Jaaliyin will say they are Arabs,but most people know they are just sedentary Nubians who took up the nomadic life of the Arabs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
