Away from politics - Linguistic Archeology from Sudan:

I read in the Sudanese daily newspaper, Al Sahafa, in Khartoum, issue dated May 9th 2011 a column titled “Bilmantiq al ratib” written by Salah Awoodhah Awees. The same column also appeared in the paper “Ajraas Al Hurriyah”
The column contained the following:
“They are certainly Germans …!” showing dots and exclamation marks about the article. The author is Dr. Ahmed El Sharief (a medical doctor in Khartoum). Here is the content of the article:
“Mr. Wilson, a German scientist who specializes in anthropology and ancient German Languages, travelled to Sudan and lived with the Meedop tribe of Western Sudan. He stayed there for many months speaking to the tribe but without understanding what he is saying. The irony was that he understood what they said for they speak an old German Language.
