[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] I think that is what Djehuti means but speaking of different sub-groups in Egypt Bahari,Sa3eedi,fellahin,and baladi mean different things. Usually in most Arabic speaking countries ''baladi'' would mean just a person native to that country but in Egypt it is used by city dwellers to refer to rural people who have migrated into the big cities. Bahary usually reffers to a northern Egyptian as opposed to a Saeedi which refers to a southern Egyptian. When people refer to fellaheen in Egypt they usually mean those people in the Delta but not really the ones in Middle or southern Egypt. Although, most Saeedi can be seen as Fellaheen because of their profession. What makes things even complicated that most Westeners don't know is you have people living in Middle Egypt divided up between ashraf,Arabs and just Fellaheen. Mostly areas like Asyut to Qena have these divisions. The history of rural Egypt is just as fasinating and complex as that of the urban areas of Cairo. Only difference is the histories in rural Egypt are more word of mouth than written. Plus since the 30's- 70's groups mainly from the Delta and Middle Egypt[locally known as almost Saeed] have migrated to places like Alexandria and Cairo. Most of these groups brought their villages with them living in places that began to be named 'shaabi' or 'baladi' areas. [/QB][/QUOTE]
