KU Leuven Faculty of Arts Blijde Inkomststraat 21 box 3301 3000 Leuven, Belgium Language Policies in the Anglo- Egyptian Sudan A Language Ideological Perspective Sarah Van Eyken Presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Arabic and Islamic Studies Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Helge Daniëls Academic year 2018-2019 Short word of thanks Before diving right in, I would like to take a brief moment to thank the people who have helped me during the interesting process of which this thesis is the culmination. First of all, I thank my supervisor, Prof. Helge Daniëls, for her genuinely enlightening feedback and advice, for allowing me to explore various side-tracks, and most of all for her passionate teaching, which introduced me to the subject of Arabic (socio)linguistics in the first place. Had it not been for her infectious enthusiasm, I would perhaps not have chosen this subject. I can admit that I had never expected this little project to be so hard to put down. I would also like to thank all my other teachers whom I had the pleasure of studying with throughout the three years of my bachelor’s degree for sharing their knowledge of and love for the Arabic language and the field of Arabic and Islamic Studies more generally and for making this degree an experience which I can look back on fondly. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for their continuous support and for reminding me that it does not have to be perfect. 2 Table of contents Short word of thanks ______________________________________________ 2 Table of contents _________________________________________________ 3 5 ________________________________________ ﺔﺻﻼﺧ رﻋ ﺑ ﯾ ﺔ – Arabic summary Introduction ____________________________________________________ 6 I.
