The Danagla ("People of Dongola", sg. Dongolawi) are a collection of Nubian tribes and peoples in northern Sudan, primarily settling between the third Nile cataract and al Dabbah. Along with Halfawi, Sikot, Mahas, they form a significant part of the indigenous Nubian peoples in Sudan. In addition, they have historically lived in proximity to their Shaigiya and Ja'alin neighbors.

They originally speak Andaandi which is one of the Nubian languages spoken in Northern Sudan & Southern Egypt.[1] it is still spoken by the majority of the population along side with the Sudanese Arabic dialect.
