Participant Helene Fatima Idris

The purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to describe the status and use of African languages (minority languages in numerical and functional terms) versus Arabic (the only official language). The study is based on data collected in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur State, and in Greater Khartoum, the national capital of Sudan.
