TOURING the dry season of 1930-1931 a three months tour of the Nuba Mountains was undertaken on behalf of the Sudan Government, with a view to ascertaining the number of languages spoken in the region and their relations to one another. Before beginning this survey we procured from the International Institute of African Languages and Cultures a list of words and phrases suitable for the purposes of translation into the various languages met with and of comparison with one another in order to settle the verbal and grammatical resemblances of dialects. This list we used as a basis for our work, but added to it a number of additional short sentences for the comparison of grammatical structures. The final list employed during the survey comprised 150 nouns, 120 short sentences, the personal pronouns and the numerals.
