Abstract:
Le kinubi est un créole de base arabe, parlé en Afrique de l'Est (Kenya,
Ouganda, République Démocratique du Congo, Tanzanie) et apparenté à l'arabe
de Juba (Soudan). Il est parlé par une communauté musulmane - les Nubi -
dont les ancêtres sont venus du sud du Soudan à la fin du 19ème siècle.
La présente recherche se propose de décrire le kinubi tel qu'il est parlé
actuellement à Mombasa, sur la côte kenyane, en mettant l'accent d'une part
sur l'originalité de ce parler par rapport à ceux de Kibera (Kenya) et de
Bombo (Ouganda), et en analysant d'autre part quel a été le rôle du
superstrat (arabe dialectal), du substrat (langues sud-soudanaises) et
surtout de l'adstrat (kiswahili et anglais) dans sa formation.
En ce qui concerne l'originalité, le kinubi de Mombasa présente une série
de traits phonologiques et morphologiques qui, même s'ils sont limités à
certains locuteurs, n'apparaissent pas dans les autres parlers étudiés :
épenthèse et apocope moins fréquentes, survivance du duel, utilisation du
pronom affixe après un nom? Par ailleurs, le kinubi de Mombasa est
influencé par divers parlers, en raison des origines variées de ses locuteurs.
En ce qui concerne la formation du kinubi, nous constatons que l'influence
du substrat est peu visible, tandis que le superstrat a joué un rôle-clé
dans le processus. Enfin, l'adstrat exerce actuellement une forte influence
sur la langue. Toutefois, l'anglais et le kiswahili n'agissent pas de la
même manière sur le kinubi en général, tandis que les autres langues
adstratales ont un impact très limité. Cette étude tente donc de déterminer
quels sont les facteurs linguistiques, sociaux et historiques permettant de
comprendre cette différence de traitement.
The Kinubi is an Arabic-based Creole, spoken in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda,
Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania) and closely related to Juba Arabic
(Southern Sudan). It is the language of a Muslim community - the Nubis.
Their ancestors came from Southern Sudan in the late 19th century.
This research describes the Kinubi as it is spoken today in Mombasa, on the
Kenyan coast. It emphasizes the originality of this dialect, compared to
the one of Kibera (Kenya) and the one of Bombo (Uganda). It analyzes what
was the role of the supestratum (Dialectal Arabic), the substratum (various
languages of Southern Sudan) and the adstratum (Swahili and English) in its
evolution.
Concerning the originality, the Kinubi of Mombasa has various phonological
and morphological characteristics which, though they are not used by all
our informants, do not appear in the other Kinubi dialects which have been
already described: the apocope and the epenthesis are less common, the dual
form is still in use, as well as the affixed pronoun? Moreover, the Kinubi
of Mombasa is influenced by the various origins of its speakers.
Regarding the formation process, we notice that the influence of the
substratum is scarcely observable, and that the superstratum has played an
important role. The adstratum has a major influence on the language today.
However, English and Swahili do not influence Kinubi in the same manner,
and the role of the other languages which are spoken in East Africa is
almost irrelevant. In this study, we try to determine the various factors -
linguistically, socially, historically - which may explain those differences.
