Abstract:
Juba Arabic is an Arabic creole closely related to Kinubi. It began developing
in the Equatoria Region of what is now South Sudan over 100 years ago, and
spread widely, now being the spoken lingua franca of the region. It has become
so well established that expatriates working in Equatoria often find
themselves in situations in which neither English nor Khartoum colloquial
Arabic is adequate for communication.
Juba Arabic for Beginners was originally prepared by SIL as a language course
for the communication needs of its own personnel, but other people needing to
communicate in Juba have found it invaluable. The present course was adapted
from the excellent Sudanese Colloquial Arabic for Beginners (Andrew and Janet
Persson, with Ahmad Hussein) in general format with its 30 dialogues. However,
due to important linguistic and cultural differences, five additional lessons
relevant to southern culture are included. This course is written in a
Romanized orthography and represents a widespread dialect of Juba Arabic.
Over the past 30 years, the course has served, and continues to serve,
personnel of a number of expatriate organizations.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
