Chadian Arabic or Shuwa Arabic (also known as Arabe Choa, Shua Arabic, Shua, Chowa, Chad Arabic, Suwa, L'arabe du Tchad, Chadic Arabic, Baggara) is the variety of Arabic spoken primarily in Chad. It is the first language for nearly one million people in Chad, Cameroon, Nigeria, Niger, and Sudan but also serves as a lingua franca in much of the region.[1]
