Nubian heritage and language are a fundamental part of Egypt’s history and cultural diversity. The language became endangered in Egypt after the compulsory displacement of Nubians from their ancestral lands. This reached its peak in the 1960s around the time of the construction of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile.
