nuba
ヌバ
解説 Definition
スーダン南部のコルドファン地域に住むアフリカの民族グループ。独自の言語と文化的伝統を持つ人々。
A collective name for diverse peoples indigenous to the Nuba Mountains region of Sudan. Nuba communities have distinct languages and cultural traditions, so the term does not refer to a single uniform tribe or language.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
NubaはスーダンのNuba Mountainsに暮らす多様な民族集団の総称です。単一の言語・単一部族名と決めつけず、the Nuba people、Nuba culture、Nuba languagesという連語で覚えましょう。NubiaやNubianとは歴史・地理的な関連が語られる一方、現代の民族名称としては同一ではない点にも注意します。
Anchor Nuba to the Nuba Mountains in Sudan. The useful collocations are the Nuba people, Nuba culture, and Nuba languages. Remember that Nuba is a collective label for a number of communities, not the name of one completely uniform tribe with a single language. The nearby-looking words Nubia and Nubian concern a broader historical region and peoples associated especially with the Nile, so they should not automatically replace Nuba. Capitalization is important because Nuba is an ethnic and geographical proper name, while the plural reference is commonly expressed as the Nuba or the Nuba people.
例文

Nuba music and dance are distinctive forms of artistic expression.
ヌバの音楽と踊りは芸術表現の独特な形態。

nuba の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古代エジプト語で「金」や「奴隷」を意味した nub に由来するとされ、ナイル川上流の地域ヌビア（Nubia）と同根。スーダンのヌバ山地に住む民族名。関連語に Nubia（ヌビア地方）、Nubian（ヌビア人の）がある。
Nuba is the established name for peoples of the Nuba Mountains in Sudan. It has often been compared with Nubia and Nubian, names associated with the Nile region to the north and east, and older explanations have connected these forms with an Egyptian term interpreted as “gold.” The precise historical relationship and ultimate origin are not fully certain, so the modern ethnic label Nuba should be understood through its specific Sudanese geographical and cultural use.
