« Back to Glossary Index

Kush speak a mix of languages from Africa and Asia. Kush (later named Nubia) was a large powerful kingdom in present-day Sudan. The exact population of this group is not known, but runs into tens of millions. They are mainly located in the Horn of Africa, which is the eastern part of Africa, but some are in the North and South. Some of their languages are Semitic, meaning they are related to Hebrew, Arabic and Aramaic languages.
