Abstract:

This thesis provides grammatical details on the phonology, morphology and
syntax of the Arabic as it is spoken in Darfur (West Sudan). All three of
these linguistic fields give evidence that this variety of Arabic is heavily
influenced by the other, particularly Nilo-Saharan languages which are also
spoken in the region. For example, the ‘typical’ Arabic guttural phonemes are
omitted or mixed, there are no synchronic gender distinctions, a process
towards an invariable pronominal system appears to be at work and Nilo-Saharan
word order occurs frequently. As a contact language, Darfur Arabic stands
midway between a pidgin or a creole on the one hand, an a full-fledged Arabic
colloquial on the other. Moreover, the Arabic of Darfur displays considerable
variability and much resembles Chadian Arabic.
