This volume presents a collection of scholarly contributions exploring various aspects of Nilo-Saharan linguistics. The topics covered include noun morphology, derivational forms, morphophonemic alternations, and the impact of Arabic loanwords on African languages. Notable studies examine nearly extinct languages, the evolution of Nubian into Sudanese Arabic, and the affiliations of Kadu languages within broader linguistic families. The phonological characteristics of specific language groups, such as the Katcha-Kadugli and Kamda languages, are analyzed, alongside the development of a general orthography for Ajang languages. Further discussions delve into linguistic differences between Kenuzi and Dongolawi, the loss of syllable-final consonants in Proto-Nubian, and the verbal matrix in Didinga. The role of tone in locatives, kinship terms among Nilotic Nubians, and the structure of place names in Borno are also explored. Contributions address possession in Gaahmg, aspect and evidentiality in Luwo, and specific markers in Fur. The volume serves as a significant resource for advancing the understanding of Nilo-Saharan languages and their complexities, with previous colloquia published in the same series enhancing the ongoing discourse in this field.
