The Danagla (Arabic: الدناقلة, "People of Dongola") are a Nubian tribe in northern Sudan[1][2] primarily settling between the third Nile cataract and al Dabbah. Along with Kenzi, Fadicca, Halfawi, Sikot, and Mahas, they form a significant part of the Nubians.[3][4] In addition, they have historically lived in proximity to their Shaigiya and Ja'alin neighbors. They speak the Nubian Dongolawi or Andaandi Language, its threatened by complete replacement by Arabic, although there is a lot of initiatives to revive it among the young generations[5] It is still spoken by a sizeable minority of the population, especially among the elders[6] alongside the Sudanese Arabic dialect.
