- COMMENTAIRES SUR LE CONTEXTE DE LA LANGUE
"Arabic, which has become the dominant lingua franca also in the Nuba Mountains, is encroaching upon Tima and other languages in various domains of social interaction between people. Above all, this is due to the fact that today Arabic is the only language playing a role in the educational as well as the administrative system of the country."
