Doms in Sudan

Doms in Sudan speak the Domari language. They immigrated to the territory of the present day Sudan from South Asia, particularly from India, in Byzantine times. Doms self-segregated themselves for centuries from the dominant culture of Sudan, who view them as dishonorable though clever. Historically, Doms in Sudan have provided musical entertainment as weddings and other celebrations. The Doms in Sudan include subgroups like Nawar, Halebi and Ghagar.^[1][2]
