Masalit (autonym kana masara) is a Maban language spoken by the Masalit people in western Darfur. It has two sociolects: heavy
Masalit, with a complicated agglutinative grammar, spoken by higher-ranking people and in the countryside, and light, spoken
particularly in the home and in the market, with a somewhat simplified grammatical structure and many borrowings from Sudanese
Arabic, the regional lingua franca and language of education. The Massalat moved west into Chad, and have almost entirely
switched to Arabic. |
