I wouldn't argue that the "language" is Kushitic. From my observations, the Madu Ndele (mdw ntr) language is a lingua franca, initially a trade language that went through the stage of pidgeon, creole and decreolization like Kiswahili. Linguists like Dr. Mubabinge Bilolo argues that it is in fact a Bantu language. So does Dr. Rkhty Amen. My observation of the language tends to agree. Alan Anselin would argue that it is closer to Chadic. Others argue it is closer to Beja. But the language being a lingua franca, it would have the characteristics of many languages.
