December and January are usually cold. The rest of the year is warm except during the rainy season from July to October during which the weather fluctuates between warm and cool depending on the rains. Because the climate is generally warm they consider the weather to be cold if it is 20 degrees c. Oh, I see, this is very interesting! What food, dishes, or meals most of Sudan citizen like the most? Or what meals are national food (dishes, meals)? For instance, in Ukraine it is borscht, vareniky (sometimes called 'dumplings') with meat or potato etc, and pies as cherry pies, etc. They bake sorphum flour paste to make very thin ferminted bread called "Kisra" and they eat it with dried or fresh okra cooked with meat. They also cook mallow and purslane with meat and eat it with kisra.

I've eaten quite a similar meal called 'Shaurma'. It's quite popular locally (like Mexican or Chinese food is popular in US, in Ukraine is popular Azarbaijan or other Eastern kitchen).

I am from Sudan, borne and raised there. Right now I am stationed in Saudi Arabia. Do you mean the shawarma which is meat and vegetables sandwich?

But it should not confuse me, because I personally type many very similar phrases as 'oh, i see', etc.) Yes, exactly 'shawarma' /in Ukrainian cyrillic 'шаурма', or Ukrainian latin 'šaurma'/. (By the way, I've met another name of it 'shawerma'.) What about language? Which language Sudanians usually use? Is it ordinary or usual for Sudanians to use English as their daily language?

Shawarma or shawerma are probably different Arabic pronunciations because in Arabic short vowels are not specified in writing for example the Arabic word (ktb كتب) is pronounced kataba to mean wrote and kutub to mean books- the vowels u and a do not appear in writing and that might make say warma or werma when pronouncing shawarma. The formal language in Sudan is Arabic and the majority speak it and although in sudan there are many pidgins when the sudanese want to communicate with each other they have to use Arabic.

Yeah, I read about Arabic languages: they are in the same family as the semitic languages, and where the usage of vowels bring the control of sense in words, and this phenomenon is called "the infixes". Must say it's one of the most logical or rational way of using words I've ever seen. I was always adored of those half-mystical curved lines Arabic was filled. I don't even know the most simple principles of it. I also wanted to ask you, what is the favourite sport in Sudan? What games children like to play?

Sudan has two of the oldest football clubs in Africa. Hilal and Mirreekh. In addition there are racing, volleyball and basketball. Children play hide and seek and having the bulk of the population along the riverside children practice swimming.

I don't like football (soccer), but I do like basketball, so I try to watch any games of Sudan. I am fond of basketball all over the world.

Have you ever visited the pyramids in Sudan? The ones built by the Nubians? That place is on my bucket list for places to visit.

I never did go to those places although they were not far from my home town. When we were young the people there were not interested in archaeological places and they encouraged us purse modern ways of life.

How does Sudan view other countries? Which ones does it view positively? Which ones negatively?

How does Sudan view other countries? Which ones does it view positively? Which ones negatively? Hello Queen. One of the problems that Sudan has been and is still suffering is this question of identity. The northern Sudan has ties with Egypt, The Western with Tchad, The Eastern with Ethiopian and Eriterian nationalities. The south is occupied by the black Nubians. The majority of the population are originally Arabs, and Sudan is formally an Arab country(inside Africa). We have been nursing an unresolved sense of belonging since we got our independence in 1956.

Thank you for your answer! By the way, may I ask you additionally to that. Is the adjective 'sesame' related somehow to that well-famous cave Sesame - where Aladdin (and his forty gang members) were standing? Right? I might be wrong, however the word itself reminds me of this.
