"Murray notes that the "jirtig" ceremony is prevalent throughout the northern Sudan (1927:45), and Trimingham (1949:182) informs us that the jirtig wedding is common in most of the northern Sudan "amongst the riverain tribes (Mahas, Danaqla, Ja'aliyyin, and Sha'iqiyya), in Northern and Central Kordofan, the Blue and White Niles, and the Beni 'Amir."

Borrowed from Sudanese Arabic جرتق (jirtig).
