Abstract:

Kinubi is an Arabic-based Creole, spoken today in some parts of East
Africa: Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo. Formerly, it was
spoken in Tanzania and in Somalia.

This language is closely related to Juba Arabic, spoken in Southern Sudan.
It is the language of a muslim community--the Nubi. Their ancestors were
soldiers who left Southern Sudan in the late 19th century, due to the
Mahdist rebellion. They went to Uganda, where they enrolled in the British
colonial army.

The target language of Kinubi is mainly Sudanese Arabic (actually, various
Sudanese dialects). Many features distinguish Kinubi from Dialectal Arabic:
phonemic changes, the loss of gender, the loss of the article al-, the loss
of the Arabic verbal morphology and the use of TMA markers... This language
is also highly influenced by English and Swahili.

The texts which are presented in this book have been collected in Bombo
(Uganda), Kibera (Nairobi, Kenya) and Mombasa (Kenya). They deal with the
history of the Nubi community: their origins in Sudan, their arrival in
Uganda, their settling in other countries of East Africa, their
participation in the First and Second World Wars. They also cover the
post-Independance period.
