Description

Synopsis and Position

Reviving the Nubian Language is a project aimed at bringing back the endangered language of Nubian peoples. If nothing is done the Nubian language will continue to decline rapidly in the coming decades. The project, through different community interventions will ensure restoration of the Nubian dialect which is under threat. This will create a sense of belonging; solidarity and it will strengthen social relationships within the community. The project will incorporate activities that will re-establish KiNubi which is no longer routinely spoken amongst younger generations and attempt to revive it as a vehicle for communication.
