Meeting Description: 

More than 50 years have passed since R.C. Stevenson published a survey of the
phonetics and grammatical structure of the Nuba Mountain languages. For decades
afterwards, linguistic research in the Nuba Mountains was scarce. Recently
however, scholars from inside and outside Sudan have again taken up the study of
the languages of this fascinating area, and we think the time has come for a
conference.

Therefore, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the 1st
