520 _a"La région du Tchad et du Ouadaï; études ethnographiques, dialecte Toubou, Tome…." by Henri Carbou is a scholarly ethnographic and linguistic study written in the early 20th century. It examines the peoples of the Lake Chad–Ouadaï region, with this volume focusing especially on Arab tribes (often termed Choa), their migrations and kinship groupings, the spread of Islam and Arabic, and everyday customs, while also touching on features of the Toubou dialect. The opening of the study traces how Arab populations shaped Central Africa through religion, language, and pastoral lifeways, contrasting relatively “pure” northern nomads (camel-keepers) with more mixed southern sedentary herders (cattle-keepers). It reviews names and distributions (Choa in Bornu and Chad Territory; groups in Ouadaï and Darfur), critiques the theory of a Qurayshite mass migration, and notes the relative purity and variations of local Arabic alongside borrowings and usage patterns. The text details religious affiliation (largely Tidjania, some Senoussia), social and legal practices (circumcision/excision, marriage, divorce, inheritance), housing, diet, adornment, dance, and funerary rites, all framed by a colonial-era perspective. It also sketches political conditions under British, German, and French administrations and explains why wealth and security vary across regions. The section then introduces the Hassaouna, outlining their genealogies and main branches and briefly profiling several tribes (including Assale and Dagana) and their conflicts and migrations.
