Kenzi, also known as Kenuzi, Kunuz, or Mattokki, is a Nubian language of Egypt. It is spoken north of Mahas in Egypt. It is closely related to Dongolawi or Andaandi, a Nubian Language of Sudan.[2] The two have historically been considered two varieties of one language. More recent research recognizes them as distinct languages without a "particularly close genetic relationship."[3] With population displacement due to the Aswan High Dam there are communities of speakers in Lower Egypt. Recent linguistic research on the Kenzi language has been conducted by Ahmed Sokarno Abdel-Hafiz.[4]

Le mattokki, aussi appelé kenzi, est une langue nubienne parlée en Égypte. elle est proche de l’andaandi parlé au Soudan.[it] Lingua mattokki
La lingua Kenzi (Kenuzi), anche nota come Mattokki, è una lingua appartenente alla famiglia linguistica Nubiana, parlata nell'Egitto meridionale. È abbastanza simile al dongolawi (o andaandi), una lingua Nubiana del Sudan. Le due lingue, infatti, erano state storicamente considerate come due dialetti di un'unica lingua. Ricerche più recenti, invece, li hanno riconosciuti come lingue distinte senza una "relazione genetica particolarmente stretta."[2]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
