KABBABISH (" goatherds ": James Bruce derives the name from Hebsh, sheep)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 620 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KABBABISH (" goatherds ": James Bruce derives the name from Hebsh, sheep) , a tribe of
African
  nomads of Semitic origin. It is perhaps the largest " Arab " tribe in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, and its many clans are scattered over the country extending S.W. from the province of Dongola to the confines of Darfur. The Kabbabish speak Arabic, but their pronunciation differs much from that of the true Arabs. The Kabbabish have a tradition that they came from Tunisia and are of Mogrebin or western descent; but while the chiefs look like Arabs, the tribes-men resemble the Beja family. They themselves declare that
one of their clans, Kawahla, is not of Kabbabish blood, but was affiliated to them
long
  ago. Kawahla is a name of Arab formation, and J. L.
Burckhardt
  spoke of the clan as a distinct one living about Abu Haraz and on the Atbara. The Kabbabish probably received Arab rulers, as did the Ababda. They are chiefly employed in cattle, camel and sheep breeding, and before the Sudan wars of 1883-99 they had a monopoly of all trans-port from the Nile, north of Abu Gussi, to Kordofan. They also cultivate the lowlands which border the Nile, where they have permanent villages. They are of fine physique, dark with black wiry
hair
 , carefully arranged in tightly rolled curls which cling to the head, with
regular
  features and rather thick aquiline noses. Some of the tribes
wear
  large hats like those of the Kabyles of
Algeria
  and Tunisia.

  of Egyptian Sudan (1884); Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (edited by
Count
  Gleichen, 1905).
