so you guys have some kind of relationship with Yemen through Sudan?

we were told that our ancestctors came from Yemen. now we scattered all over the world espcailly the middle east. I hope i can can gather all bronu in one
forum.

there doesnt seem to be many Bornu people here.


maybe they mix with other tribes after leaving home.

many brnou mix with other tribes but most of them remain as bronu with any mix. bronu live in communities of bronu whereever they go.
and those who mixed with other tribes lost their mother tongue.

Bornu are also known as Kanuri.

I assume that's who you're specifically referring to, as opposed to the Shua Arabs, for instance.

kanuri represents the majorty of bronu people
for the shau they are Arab people live with their cattle with bronu

Arabic-speaking groups of different origin constitute one of the most important ethnic clusters of the Chad Basin. In this region, it became common since the 19th century to call them collectively Shuwa. In their own traditions they favour the etymology of this name as derived from the Kanuri word sháwa (beautiful, handsome). According to one of the numerous other hypotheses, however, it is rooted in the Arabic word shiwa (sheep), because this animal had obviously played a leading role in their economy before it was replaced by cattle after their immigration into the Chad Basin.

Who are Bronu people?
