Introduction: This is a translation of some of what appeared in the seventeenth issue of the magazine "Sudan in Memoirs and Blogs
"Sudan Notes and Records
Published in 1934, on the origins of phonics, by the British administrator James Wilson Robertson (1899-1983).
Robertson began working in Sudan as assistant to the inspector of the center of the Blue Nile at the age of 23. He then moved to Qatina, Kamel, Duwaym, Roussiers and Al-Nouhid. He returned to work as an inspector in Duwaim. Administrative Secretary in 1953.
Some Western archaeologists and historians (such as James Proust, Erkel and J. Spoledeng, author of "The Sinnar Era") have discussed the origins of phonge, which is highly controversial and ambiguous, perhaps because of the paucity of historical sources and their contradictions or for other reasons. There are also books of Sudanese in the history of the phon, such as Prof. Youssef Fadl in his book "History of the Islamic Kingdoms in Sudan ..." and his article entitled "Profiles from the history of the Directorate of the Blue Nile" and Dr. Jaafar Mirghani in several articles on the web, Of the Department of Planning and Research at the Ministry of Culture and Information in the state of Sennar entitled "Reading in the history of phonog", and addressed many of the sites of the subject of Esfir, including:

The authors of the Wikipedia have summed up the origins of the phonog in this sentence: "The scholars differed very much in determining the origin of the phonge, and some comparative linguists and theorists have included the theory of the phonic origin that belongs to the Shilk region on the white Nile. They are from the Nile group in Sudan, As attributed to the country of Brno in West Africa, while other theories refer to the Abyssinian origin As for the Sudanese novels published by some historians and circulation of the people themselves, they gather that the Alfong group of the Umayyad dynasty that fled from the Abbasid state after the fall of their state and headed towards No Sudan via Ethiopia.

Mr. Arcliffe's article on the origins of the phonog, published in this journal (ie "Sudan in Memoirs and Blogs") in 1932, referred to the appointment of Sheikh Mohamed Idris Rajab Naazra to say. Personally, I was one of those who witnessed the inauguration ceremony of this visionary in December 1931. Sheikh Muhammad is a descendant of the Hikmat family of the Fung kingdom. He was one of the direct descendants of Muhammad Abu Lekilk, who fled his grandson from Sennar and resorted to Qoli after the Egyptian-Turkish army took control of Sennar in 1820 (perhaps the right is 13/6/1181) The Egyptian army - Turkish gas, which was appointed by the elders on Sennar to collect taxes and handed over to the Egyptian - Turkish administration Translator).
Sheikh Mohammed now leads the phoenix glasses, and hates to be attributed to barbarism. Perhaps this explains why it is difficult for Mr. Arkel to understand the barbarity of my words and their vision. "Professor Ahmed Abdullah Hanaka wrote about the" barbaric ":" Many historians tend to speculate that the origin of the barbarism is the Christian kingdom of Soba, Which was destroyed by the alliance of Dungas, the leader of al-Fung and Abdullah Gamaa, the leader of the Arabs of Qawasmeh (al-Abdalab), and the elimination of which was entered into popular Sudanese literature as the "ruin of Soba" as a model of mass destruction The novel goes on to say that many residents of this stricken kingdom have fled to the mountains The phonge of the fledgling kingdom of Phong began to call upon them For them the name (barbaric) for agriculture ... "Translator).
When she accepted, on behalf of the government, the appointment of Sheikh Mohammed, I placed him on a plain wooden chair of the kind you see in any small shop, not on a "kaker" (a chair with six legs and a convex surface) , As the king of Sennar sits on the mackerel, while the rest of the kings of its regions and the elders of the Sufis sit on their feet with a four-legged "kaker". A piece of cloth and a small pillow were placed on top of that wooden chair. Then the parents came to the viewer one after the other, they greet him as "Mangel", and some of them accepted his hand. During the ceremony, a group of men stood tirelessly beating the drums. There was not a single shot at that ceremony, nor was there any trace of the horses in my words (or at least I did not see any horse of its own).
I asked a little while ago why he gave him an exaggerated picture of Mr. Arkel (about the inauguration). He replied that he had not described to Arkell what had actually happened, but what should have happened if the inauguration had been done according to old traditions and customs. Thus, Sheikh Mohammed had not been silent for forty days (as is common practice in the area of ​​Rosiers, which was practiced by the barbarism of that region and in Vazogli until recently.
I checked my information about the hacker by asking McNealy about whether the hacker had actually taken my word. It was not like Kelly Kaker, it was the mackerel for Nayel, who told me that the cackle had been passed from the parents to the children in his family since they had received it from the kings of Sennar.
I have no comment to contribute to the question of the origin of the phonge as put forward by Mr. Arkel and Mr. Evans-Pritchard's short comment may not be without negativity. I think that the whole heritage of the people of South Phong is in fact a Sinary heritage. In the region there is no scholarly knowledge of any other heritage coming directly from the White Nile, or from the South Phong region with immigrants from Ethiopia to Sennar. Each
Our evidence of the traditions and heritage of the region was entirely taken from Sennar. As far as I know, the phoenix did not effectively penetrate the south until they settled in Sennar. The current kings of Vasogli and Kelley say that their ancestors (the Mayans and the Gawabers) came from Sennar. One of them told me: "They were brothers, and together they defeated the tribes of Alberta, who lived in the hills until they reached the Ethiopian plains, and after their victory they divided their lands." I see that the scales (or tree) of these kings, as they claim themselves, are interrelated and untenable and difficult to believe the probability of their validity. Evans-Pritchard's genealogy of Kelly's kings makes the current mk located in the sixth order of the first mk of money. The phoenix tree in Fazugli, developed by Nadler Muk Hassan Hassan, is located only four generations from Jaber, who is supposed to have come from Sennar. This is what made me the most sincere that these trees of genealogy are absolutely worthless. There is no doubt that the general feeling in this region is that the ancestors of the kings of Vazugli, Kelly and Kopa? Gubba and Beni Shinqul had all come to the south of Sennar, and they had won over the local inhabitants of the area and settled in their midst. They were practically independent from the kings of Vung Sennar who did not appear to interfere in their affairs. There is no doubt that they lived in this part of the world for about two or three centuries. Nor is it clear that the history of the region, as described by some historians, is confused and confusing. We must always remember that the rulers of Quli are not Phung, but they are Mohammed's ancestors. It is commonly suggested that Muhammad Abu Lekilak was originally a groupist and his mother was a barbarian. In 1754 he led the Knights of the Phong in their war against the Ahbash. In 1760, he attacked Sennar from Kordofan and seized power and deposed the King of Phong from his throne. When the Egyptians came in 1820, his grandson Idris Adlan fled south to the area inhabited by his mother's family (the barbarians) and settled in Qulay. The influence of the Fung heritage in the Quli region seems to have already begun with the arrival of "righteous people". Mkoli told me that he was the leader of each mountain, independent of himself, and paid from time to time a tribute to Sennar. He showed me some of his own drums (copper) and assured me that they had given him long before the elders to say. This was a special macaroon, but it was destroyed after the conquest of Ahmed Fadil of the Qali region at the end of the Mahdiyya era (as mentioned in the Encyclopedia of the Phung in the Mahdia period: "Under the Caliph Abdullah, The governor of Bani Shnukul), the separation of that region and disobedience to the Caliph Abdullah coexistence and non-payment of taxes and government fees that were previously planned - and to weaken the influence of the powers of the Caliph gave half of the region and the Tor Joudi to his friend King Habashi Manialk (punishment) to Tur Jody, That his foot was a hadei The military and military equipment of a large number of hippocampus to deal with that external threat, and later became the area that was given to neither Ethiopia nor Sudan, where Menelik was given the power to rule after the Judy Tour and in the form of a system similar to the system of princes and mayors of the Queen and her brother, On the Sudanese side was ruled by King Wad al-Jazz (Khojli and Hassan al-Hasan's brother safe) ". Although the above proves something, it proves that the phong did not actually control that area until their authority fell. During the years of the Turkish era, the government appointed the elders of Quli as tax collectors and local leaders in the areas extending from Quli to the south, in the Kurmuk, Uluwalsal and Bernowe areas to Fadasi. Marno's description of the Oulu population as a mixture of barbarism and phonong is, in my view, the correct description of the Adlane family. Half of their blood came from barbarism, and they are also known to be phung. There is no doubt that there are some Nile influences on the Maban language, and to a lesser extent in the areas south of Karmak. Perhaps these people had abandoned their country in the south because of the pressure exerted by the Nuer. And I think - unlike Evans - Richard - that the phoenix does not have a chalk. It is true that the Shilluk may have invaded the land now known as Dar Phung, but it must be remembered that the Phung themselves did not solve the so-called "Dar Fong" until the end of their reign, and perhaps after the fall of their capital Sennar. It may be true that Sennar invaded and conquered Vazugli, Kuba, Kili and other kingdoms under the banner of Khedive. Some local rulers (as in the case of Alberta) may have been allowed to manage the affairs of their local citizens. But I have noticed that there are links and blood relations between the shuttle in this area. Your good mouth in Sinja and Mukhsin Hussain in Fazougli and Hamdan Abu Shouk in Kuba may actually be as close as the brothers. All I want to say here is that Fong had little influence in the southern regions of Dar Fung until recently. Perhaps the Fung themselves were invading those southern regions for gold and slaves. Perhaps they left the barges in their mountains. Dar Fong did not appear as we knew until the early 20th century when the phong united with barbarism. . .
