Dinka people

Others suggest that he came from Sudan, uh, and even, and trained as a child soldier, uh, in Goa in India.

Right, right, the idea being that because of his, to the Japanese, extraordinary height, he was about a foot taller than the average Japanese person, and because of his very, very dark skin, he might have been a member of the Dinka in Sudan.

So let's stick with Lockley for a second.

This is, again, this is all speculative.

crazy stuff, and she says one day she's driving.

She's driving down this kind of like sketchy road, And these two Dinka fighters stop the car and they get in the backseat, one on her right, one on her left, in the backseat of this car.

And she knew what was going to happen.

She's seen this story play out where this is what they do.

As the desert dried, populations moved toward the Nile, bringing their cattle-focused traditions with them.

This shared heritage is evident in the cattle cultures of modern Nilotic groups like the Shillik and Dinka.

Research in the 1980s suggested that early Egyptian sites were peripheral to a larger network of African cultures involving Saharan and Nubian peoples.

Genetic studies of people in Upper Egypt have shown links to East African populations.

Yes.

And then the husband is Dinka, right? You can correct me if I'm wrong.

He's Dinka.

And then Carolyn is

Latuku.

And so them doing the jumping thing.

What is that called? What's the dance

called? It's called Dang in Dinka.

We have Sudanese.

We have Sudanese of two different language groups, Noor and Dinka.

So I get to work with them.

I get to work with rural congregations.

I have it on my notes that they are from the 10th Sudanese battalion of the Egyptian army.

They are recruited from the Dinkas and the Shilaks, two Negroid tribes living to the south of the Dervish country, near the equator.

"'How can the recruits come through the Dervishes, then?' asked headingly sharply.' i dare say there is no such very great difficulty over that said m fardet with a wink at the american the older men are the remains of the old black battalions some of them served with gordon at khartoum and have his medal to show the others are many of them deserters from the mahdi's army said the colonel well so long as they are not wanted they look right elegant in those blue jackets miss adams observed but if there was any trouble i guess we would wish they were less ornamental and a bit whiter i am not so sure of that miss adams said the colonel i have seen these fellows in the field and i assure you that i have the utmost confidence in their steadiness Well, I'll take your word without trying, said Miss Adams, with a decision which made every one smile.

So far their road had lain along the side of the river, which was swirling down upon their left hand, deep and strong from the cataracts above.

There are 30 major tribes.

And we were working, when we were back in South Sudan, we were working mainly among the Dinkas.

So they have their own tribal language.

But South Sudan also, the business language is what they call Arabic, Juba Arabic.

[laughs]

So after all this jibber jabber, you wanna know how much Dinkas spent on that accidental bottle of fake gin?

Yeah.

I think ...

Maybe.

The local cops released that same statement that they always do in situations like this.

They said that Dinkas, and others like Dinkas, wasted the time of one of their television ...

That's not the word.
