Sudanese People

[*Arabman]

Do you personally know or have you interacted with Sudanese people? If so, what's your impression of them?

[1_londoner]

yup, they're nice people.
well the lady i know is nice.

Sudanese people are very good, but some of them act like they araps even though they look Bantu, shame.

Some look like somali or eritrean but most, i would say 70% of them look adoon.

[somalinetguy]

there is 30+ million sudanese , and you can't base your impressions on few people that one met.
do u just open the topic for sudanese bashing by our fellow zoomalis

[galia]

Why do sudanese just speak arabic, what happened to their own language, look at us somalis, eritreans, ethiopians and djboutians we all still have our culture and langauge.

[Xusseyn]

[somalinetguy]

Some do have their languages still like Nubians,Beja,Dinka, Nuer ect.

I think Arabic is their official language, for the same reason Djibouti has French as it's official language.

Djibouti's official languages are Arabic and French.

I have couple of dikka sudanese friends, and from what I gather, they seem to be humble, polite and family oriented people.

[Dhaga Bacayl]

THEY SMOKE ALOT OF GEEDO. I have alot of sudanese friends. Little lazy but nice!

South Sudanese are very nice people, who are hardworking and seem to love their religion.


North Sudanese the ones I've seen are vindictive, think they are Arab, and don't know anything about their religion.

I think the status of Arabic in Djibouti is same as Somalia, only limited to official stamps and headed paper.

The language of schools and education is French.

Arabman, i will give u an example, theres this sudanese women i know, when i first meet her she believed i was from egypt, but i told her that i was from somalia, when i told her that i was from somalia she said i was an african, lol. She always speaks arabic especially when theres other araps around, lol. She always keep saying that shes arap even though she looks nothing alike to an arap, she looks like shes from west africa.

And the women hates somalis, she tries to hide our feelings but it shows.

Sudanese people just love araps to much, the only thing i like about sudanese people is them being muslim.

For once Alluring is right, yes south sudanese people i meet are really really polite, whislt the north ones are unpolite bantus he think that they are araps.
