More on "invisible" Ajami from our colleague Nikolay Dobronravin who already wrote for our Ajami Lab a piece on invisibility of Ajami writing in Nigeria, Chad and Sudan. This time he takes us to Darfur ('the land of the Fur') to explore a history of Ajami writing in Fur, a Nilo-Sahran language spoken in the west of the Republic of the Sudan.   Read his fascinating account of Fur Ajami: The Fur (For, Fūranq bilī, Poor'íŋ belé) variety of Ajami: an invisible tradition.Following Nikolay's lead outlined in the above paper, I am heading to London next week to consult Kītāb Dālī , the mysterious Fur law book. Who knows, maybe we are just a short flight from another Ajami discovery.
