Geri Fai Omir

In 2021, Hatim Eujayl collaborated with Sudanese-American author Ramey Dawoud and Taras Press to write and illustrate four books for Nubian children, teaching basic literacy and vocabulary skills in the endangered Nobiin language of the Fadicca, Halfawi, and Mahas peoples. This project became known as "Geri, Fai, Omir!" and thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, the team was able to publish four books, available for free online:

  1. Nabra's Nubian Numbers (written by Ramey Dawoud)

  2. This is How We Read Nubian (written by Hatim)

  3. This is How We Write Nubian (written by Hatim)

  4. The Miracle of Amanirenas (written by Hatim)

Sawarda Nubian

In 2020, in close cooperation with Old Nubian expert Vincent van Gerven Oei, Hatim created the world's first Nubian language font based on medieval Nubian manuscripts: Sawarda Nubian, named for Hatim's subgroup of the Mahas tribe. The public alpha of the typeface is available for free on the Union for Nubian Studies website, with a more updated version available on request.
