White and See also:Blue See also:Niles. They traditionally come from See also:west of the White See also:Nile and are affiliated by some to the See also:Kordofan Nubas, by others, more justifiably, to the See also:negro Shilluks. These Funj, who became the dominant race in Sennar in the 15th See also:century, almost everywhere assimilated the speech, See also:religion and habits of the See also:Arabs settled in that region. Until the 19th century they were one of the most powerful of See also:African peoples in the eastern See also:Sudan. About the end of the 15th century they overthrew the See also:kingdom of Aloa, between the two Niles, and conquered the neighbouring peoples of the Sudan, See also:Nubia and even Kordofan. The Funj had mixed much with the Arabs before their conquests, and had been converted to See also:Islam. But they were still in many ways savages, for See also:- JAMES

The Arab viziers gradually absorbed all See also:power, the Funj See also:sovereignty becoming nominal; and in 1821 the Egyptians easily destroyed the Funj domination. To-See also:day the Funj are few, and represent no real type. They are a See also:bright, hospitable folk. Many of them are skilful surgeons and go far afield in their See also:work. The fellahin, indeed, See also:call surgeons " Senaari " (men of Sennar). See further SENNAR and SUDAN (Anglo-See also:Egyptian).
