The Nubi language (also called Ki-Nubi) is a Sudanese Arabic-based creole language spoken in Uganda around Bombo and in Kenya around Kibera by the descendants of Emin Pasha’s Sudanese soldiers who were settled there by the British colonial administration. It was spoken by about 15000 people in Uganda in 1991 (according to the census) and an estimated 10000 in Kenya; another source estimates about 50000 speakers as of 2001.
