Nso.

African: dialect of the Gaboon.

Ntere.

African: dialect of Kaffir, allied to Mbamba, Kanyika, Musentando, &c. H. C.

Nubian.

African of the Valley of the Nile, from the frontier of Egypt (i.e., the Tropic of Cancer) to the boundary of Abyssinia. Its three known dialects are (1) the Kenuz, that of the most northern portion: the Dodeka Skoinos of the classical geographers, the most northern division of the Roman province of Egypt—of this the word “Kenuz” is a corruption; (2) the Noub, or Nubian proper; (3) the Dongolawy of Dongola on the south. The Arabic has greatly encroached upon the languages or dialects of this class. R. G. L.

⁂ The following vocabularies are Nufi:—Appa, Basa, Bujanne, Dsuku, Ebe, Egbira-Himi, Eregba, Esitako, Goali, Kakanda, Kupu, Musu, Nupayse, Opanda, Shabbie, Yala. See Clarke’s “Dialects,” p. 35. R. G. L.
