Ababdaball


Ababdaball is an ethnic group from eastern Egypt and the Sudan. Historically, most were nomads living in the area between the Nile and the Red Sea, with some settling along the trade route linking Korosko with Abu Hamadball. Numerous traveler accounts from the nineteenth century report that some of the Ababda people at that time still spoke Beja or a language of their own, hence many secondary sources consider Ababdaball to be a Beja subtribeball. Most of the Ababda people now speak Arabic and identify as an Arab tribeball from hijazball.
