Mahas

The Mahas are a sub-group of the Nubians ethnic group located in Sudan along the banks of the Nile. They are further split into the Mahas of the North and Mahas of the East. Some Mahas villages are intermixed with remaining remnants of the largely extinct Qamhat Bishari tribe. Just as Ababda people are Bejas that are bilingual in Arabic and Beja, and sometimes described as Bedouins the Qamhat Mahas are ethnic Beja speaking a Nubian language. Some Mahas of the Butana area have intermarried with the Rashaida people, therefore linking them with the Banu Abs tribe, from which the Rashaida people are descended.
