Nobiin Lesson 1 ⲇⲁⲣⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲣⲁⲅⲓ ⲗⲓ الدرس الأول في لغة نوبين
This lesson is based on the Muhammed Metwally Badr, the author of Nobīn Nog Gery "Read in Nubian." The original lessons use romanization and offer Arabic translations. In these lessons I'll provide the English equivalents as well and do my best to explain the grammar as it comes up. Macrons above vowels indicate a long vowel. I won't provide information about tone (because the original doesn't and I myself don't yet know it well enough to provide it, but you can find out more information about pronunciation here ). You can also here some pronunciations of words here , but I'm using Badr's textbook because I find the organization and pedagogy a bit better despite not using the Nubian script or having audio. I'm doing my best to keep the orthography consistent with the ⲛⲟⲡⲓ̄ⲛⳟⲁ ⲕⲟⲩⲗⲗⲁⲛ textbook but may make some mistakes (the other widespread orthography might slip in sometimes--- ⳣ = ⲱ = /w/ and ⲡ = ⲃ = /b/ هذا الدرس مبني على عمل محمد متولي بدر وهو
