The Masalit (masara in Masalit; Arabic ماساليت) are a people of Darfur in western Sudan and Wadai in eastern Chad. They speak Masalit, a Nilo-Saharan language of the Maba group. They numbered about 250,000 in 1983[1] (http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=MSA).
Between 1884 and 1921 they established a state called Dar Masalit.
