单词 sudanese
释义

Sudanesen.adj.

Brit. /ˌsuːdəˈniːz/, U.S. /ˌsudəˈniz/
Inflections: Plural unchanged.
Forms: 1800s– Soudanese, 1800s– Sudanese.
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Sudan , -ese suffix.
Etymology: < the name of Sudan (also Soudan: see note) + -ese suffix. Compare earlier Sudan n. and Sudanic adj.The name Sudan (often with definite article) is < Arabic al Sūdān (more fully bilād al-Sūdān , literally ‘country of the black people’) < Arabic sūdān black people collectively, plural of 'aswad black person, use as noun of 'aswad black. In English, it was used for a large area of sub-Saharan Africa (see note at sense A.) from the beginning of the 19th cent. or earlier; similar uses are attested in other European languages around the same time. In 1899, it was adopted in English as the name of a condominium under joint British and Egyptian rule (compare condominium n. 1), which gained independence in 1956 as the Republic of the Sudan (Arabic Jumhūriyyat al Sūdān ). In French, the name Soudan was originally used in a similar way, and subsequently specifically as the name of the French colonial territory Soudan français in West Africa (founded in 1880), which in 1960 became independent as the Republic of Mali (compare Mali adj.). Some early English evidence for the name Sudan and related words refers to that area, although typically prior to the French conquest (compare e.g. quot. 1826 at sense A. and quot. 1817 at Sudanic n.). Compare Nigritia , an earlier European name for sub-Saharan Africa, ultimately after the same Arabic word (see Nigritian n.). Specific use. With use with reference to languages (compare quot. 1853 at sense B.) compare earlier Sudanic n.
