Dongolawi, also known as Kenuzi-Dongola, is a Nubian language of Egypt and across the border in Sudan. Kenzi (or Kenuzi) dialect is spoken north of Mahas in Egypt, while Dongolawi is spoken south of Mahas around Dongola; they are generally considered two varieties of one language. With population displacement due to the Aswan High Dam there are communities of speakers in Lower Egypt and in Eastern Sudan (Khashm el-Girba). Apart from these two dialects spoken along the Nile, three other dialects once existed.
