[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE][qb]Originally posted by Djehuti: [/qb] I should point out that the [b]modern[/b] Nubians you speak of which settled the Nile Valley during Roman times are different from the [b]ancient[/b] Nubians who lived there long before them and likely intermarried. It's not known for certain what languages the ancient Nubians spoke but it is very probable they spoke Afrasian languages related to Egyptian and Cushitic, and there is a growing theory that at least those ancient Nubians living in northern Sudan and southern Egypt prior to the Nilo-Saharan immigration during Roman times spoke a language closely related to the To-Bedawi language of the Beja.[/QUOTE]I forgot to mention that modern Nubians are called such because their actual name is Noba/Nuba hence Nubians, though the ancient Nubians were called such by the Greeks due to the Egyptian Nubt. [/qb][/QUOTE]As I posted about with references in Topic: No AE Nubia like No AE word Egypt http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=009089 modern Noba/Nuba people [QUOTE]The term should not be confused with the Nubians, an ethnic group speaking the Nubian languages, although the Hill Nubians, who live in the Nuba Mountains, are also considered part of the Nuba geographic grouping of peoples.
