Let us imagine that in Imperial Roman times Proto-Brythonic was spoken in inland Central/Western England, with coastal Eastern/Southern England being Romance-speaking. @LH, so apparently you think that without morphology a genetic relationship cant be established. ScienceDirect is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. ScienceDirect is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. Catherine Obianuju Acholonu & Erich Fred Legner Review of a paper presented at the Conference on Indigenous Knowledge and the Challenges of the 21 st Century, Institute of African Studies, UNN, Nsukka. Bulgarian Judeo-Spanish Texts in Cyrillic. (Then you have a different set of isoglosses for the subjunctive forms vos hables|habls|habli|hablis, too. Thats about as much I can say before reading the paper. Both sentences would imply that the speaker had dead fish in mind. *headdesk*, @dlg Attempts that Ive seen to prove cognacy are usually lamentable. Mande syntax is both weird and strikingly well maintained in its weirdness throughout most of a pretty diverse family, but that has no bearing on the wider genetic relationships of the family at all. Its a bit odd, when you think about it, given that AFAIK theres nothing much like it in Irish. Discussion, in Hamito-Semitica. Ive found it very useful as source material: I think the problems with it are in fact largely due to the fact that he has (explicitly) taken Manessys subclassification of Oti-Volta as a settled thing, which he didnt oughta of done. I seem to recall quite a lot being made of the -s derivational suffix plausibly reconstructed on other grounds for Old Chinese, for example. Appparently he didnt publish his full evidence.. averaged into a . Theil 2006). Recently I thought about -er. Its a bit hard to say whether verbs have clear cognates outside the Oti-Volta family to the same extent as nouns, because there are not all that many cognates reconstructable to Volta-Congo overall, and the verbs that are so reconstructable are typically found in all the Oti-Volta branches: theyre not the puzzlingly variable ones, but are old dependables like eat and drink which stretch all the way from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. If it was from Latin or Greek, I honestly do not know what were the main book Latin and Greek words for porcupine:(. To have groupings at all implies some mechanism for wiping out diversity. lyudina (Ukrainian) a person Some is paywalled, but for instance, Ive just searched for one of the titles, Genetic Diversity of the Sudanese, and found a free version. ), [EDIT: looking at the actual text of his article, its just that hes using the letter <> as both a consonant and a vowel. The non-r branches all have *i instead Until recently mass/collective nouns suffixes were productive (I see this mostly in distribution in modern Russian) but have been suppressed in written langauge by, I think, translated literature (again, from distibution) and in spoken langauge by schooling. Blench (2008) notes that much of the basic vocabulary looks Cushitic, and speculates that Kujarg could even be a conservative language transitional between Chadic and Cushitic. When that came to an end would be when. You can always map that onto a tree later. Erich Neu argued in his seminal Das hethitische Mediopassiv und seine indogermanischen Grundlagen, where he analysed how the r-endings spread during the attested history of Hittite texts and how that pathway differed from those in Italic and Celtic. With respect to the number of areal traits necessary to justify a linguistic area, in general, the linguistic areas in which many diffused traits are shared among the languages are considered more strongly established; however, some argue that even one shared trait is enough to define a weak linguistic area. The quoted first paragraph makes sense to me if we all agree that early out-of-Africa expansions, the ones that didnt happen, would have been subsequent to the out-of-Africa expansion that created the Basal Eurasian population, but before the late out-of-Africa expansion from post-Bantu Kenya. More important, it would seem difficult to show consistent sound changes with such a small pool of potential matches. 2005), Successfully It would thus be normal to ask, say, a waiter, Qu pescados tiene de agua salada? What salt-water fish do you have? Lista de pescados means fish menu. do assume appropriate dates for the anciently-attested languages (Akkadian=2800 YBP, Biblical Aramaic=1800 YBP, Geez=1700 YBP, ancient Hebrew=2600 YBP and Ugaritic=3400 YBP; Rabin 1975, p. 2705). If a percentage of the 50 was a slender reed, some of the 20 is a blade of grass. Laura Wagner, in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2001. Yeah, it seems that cattle come from the Levant though with an important local contribution (Decker et al. In North Germanic all this stuff happened in historical times and is documented. Practical consequences: A deep-level (no less than at least 12,000 years) genetic relationship between ES and CS is potentially explorable only under the condition that well-elaborated etymological corpora for both ES and CS have been constructed and tested, based on systems of regular correspondences. En la playa hubo muchos peces muertos There were many dead fish on the beach. Redescription of [further taxa] is an obvious step towards discriminating between these starkly different hypotheses. Tomorrow Ill dig up the quotes from the paper I coauthored in 2020 where we managed to handle the fact that we didnt even agree on whether the species we were describing was an amphibian or an amniote. Lameen, Im genuinely curious about an unpublished piece Blench posted on his website Saharan and Songhay form a branch of Nilo-Saharan Roger Blench and Lameen Souag draft from the Afrikanistentag Koln in 2012. Actually, the Nilo-Saharan situation looks not unlike Ryans scenario: very old families some small, some quite large that have been in low-level contact since ever. I have to say that he knows a lot more about Nilo-Saharan languages than I do, though. I have no idea what it could mean back then, now people who deal with the sea naturall call this way that lives there (Natrix tessellata) But the concept of fish as food is expressed by saengseon, originally (that which is) fresh (, cf. Of course there are other issues, e.g. The Hague and Paris; Mouton. Or I do not know, maybe to Germanists it looks easier. The practical question is whether we have suitable material for comparative work. With Mande, in particular, there is zilch in the way of morphology (no noun classes, no sign that there ever were any, no sign of Volto-Congo-like verb extensions) and the list of supposed cognates in vocabulary is (a) embarrassingly short and (b) almost a textbook demonstration of the perils of relying on mama/papa words and onomatopoeics (the latter is even more of a problem in West Africa than most regions. And, Ive heard Starostins name a lot, but wasnt sure exactly what he focused on. Go to The Use of Reconstructed Proto-Forms and see the 2nd graph on terms for mud, where youll see how g and d and their geminates interact. the idea of the expansion of a pastoral or hunter-gatherer language group across vast agricultural lands at a time when the advantage of the horse was unknown would be surprising to me. We have early records of the Amorites because they came into contact with the Sumerians in the third millennium B.C.E. What signs suggest that it flowed in the opposite direction? strong support for Arabic within Central Semitic from the multistate analysis, but no support from the binary analysis). For the sex-trade sense they only give one country and I have not looked for a text to support the entry. Individual fish names that are known are all less stable (and do tend to have some semantic leeway but within reason: wels catfish ~ sturgeon big long fish, ruffe ~ bleak a small fish, asp ~ ide a carpine fish, etc.) Balashon Kaleidoscope His proposal is to do nothing until we have decent Afro-Asiatic and Khoi-San etymologic dictionaries:-). This Hamitic language group was proposed to unite various, mainly North-African, languages, including the Ancient Egyptian language, the Berber languages, the Cushitic languages, the Beja language, and the Chadic languages. Ryan asked about a good introduction that would explain terms like derivational suffixes so I thought about derivational suffixes and about those suffixes that are borrowed. In Oman/Yemen they have both and variations of , this one is at least obvious. The vos habls form is what I learned in Buenos Aires (mid-late 1960s). Hadza people, Sandawe people, Twa people, Bangweulu Batwa, Great Lakes Twa, Kafwe Twa, Lukanga Twa, Nilo-Saharan, Kalenjin people, Maasai people, Samburu people, Bantu languages, Abagusii People, Kikuyu people, Luhya people, Bukusu, Afroasiatic, Iraqw people, Rendille people. abd ? Forms agent nouns from verbs. It seems in Oman these words entered fish territory. *hik-t- > *hik-t- > Grassmann, whence Gk. Sayd is an Arabic word for fishes and this is our speciality. ( .) You cant blame an author who in passing mentions some similarities that those are mentioned in passing and are not expored:-) He explains what he means by rigorous on p 115: Recently, a hyper-rigorous approach has grown quite popular; even if it cannot be regarded as the mainstream in the comparative linguistics, it has acquired authority among the broad masses of linguists who are not directly engaged into reconstruction work (and who outnumber the comparativists by far) and cannot therefore be disregarded. My textbook (?) The evidence from Egypt only shows one language, and that is surely the language of the rulers, a uniformity that we can assume was imposed by the regime that developed the method of writing we know it from. And their method is incapable of discovering any. The Bantu expansion was a massive migration that reshaped the linguistic and cultural landscape of Africa. If you cant find any, its going to be a good bit harder to demonstrate a genetic relationship with reasonable confidence, but harder doesnt necessarily imply impossible., Lexical correspondences are much more likely than morphological to be due to borrowing, but even so that doesnt make the task hopeless at all. According to Hamalainen (The Comanche Empire) horses gradually diffused in the American west only after the Pueblo Uprising of 1680, but it didnt seem to take long for the Comanche and Dakota to develop their versions of the nomad lifestyle. In practice I dont think thats really Rogers style. The verb digi has got the whole set of regular inchoative and causative derived forms that other body-position verbs do, and belongs to the minority imperfective-only conjugation just like the others, so it doesnt seem likely to be a recent loan or anything of that kind. First, it may help some to know that DM is quoting the Blench article, not a post somewhere above. Elsewhere urbanism emerged in the west at Byblos, Ras Shamra, Hama. Also not inspiring confidence: may testify to seem to would seem to have would appear to have, Amorite is simply the first attested West Semitic language. That may not change your point much. But a Venezuelan friend of mine from Zulia has the full vosotros form instead: vos hablis, and I think that would also be the case for most voseante regions in Central America and the Caribbean. ), https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Officina_gentium_aut_velut_certe_vagina_nationum. In contrast, they by and large command the inflectional systems of their language by the age of three, irrespective of how morphologically opaque or synthetic these happen to be. I guess if youre getting a university degree in Africa, you may arrive at more practical ideas of how to improve your familys financial position than to pursue a lucrative linguistics career. @Roger C. Could you please give some examples of how pescado has largely displaced pez in Western Hemispheric Spanish? They could otkochevat* from Africa to the Middle East, pick up tools and then go back, armed with bronze and iron and cattle and then with books. It therefore seems probable that this formation goes back to the common ancestor of Proto-Semitic and Proto-Berber. Im fascinated to learn from the Khoisan article that there were Khoisan-speaking itinerant hunter-gatherer/blacksmiths. But surely the example of Sino-Tibetan proves that its not required. (Though, I concede, apparently wrong given the DNA match with the Natufian culture.). Yupik languages: Diriku: bnt: Bantu (Other) Eggon: nic : Niger-Kordofanian (Other) Favorlang: map: Austronesian (Other) Gorani: ira: Iranian (Other) Gunian: aus: Australian languages: Gwahatike: paa: Semitic (Other) 2. Das Deutsche Wrterbuch von Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm Competing synonyms for nouns only have pairwise cases: two each of pole, bark and mouth, as well as root, vein | vein, sinew and breath, soul | soul, self; adjectives have two cases of dry and possibly big. I have the clear impression that, from decade to decade, Kloekhorst tries to read ever more into any spelling variation he can find in Hittite. Language production typically starts out with utterances, as behavioral elements which provide the initial basis for expressing relations between semantic content and phonetic form. Level 3, Syria. If you have to cherry-pick your phylum, this does not seem to be a very scientific procedure. The Kusaal Bible renders fox throughout as piif, which is definitely not a fox at all, but a genet. Googling an issue raised in the paper, the probably spurious Oropom language, I wound up with a reference to a paper by Lameen. (colloquial) unmannerly, uncivilized, or antisocial person, dziki wild, untamed. Beyond that, it waffles on the subject of inflection in ancestral Sino-Tibetan. Dr. Vince Bantu (PhD in Semitic and Egyptian Languages, CUA) is the Ohene (President) of the Meachum School of Haymanot and is Assistant Professor of I didnt believe in Nilo-Saharan at that time any more than I do now; the possibility that I was interested in is that maybe Songhay-Saharan was a valid family. That could be wholly unrelated to what I call a blunder; Ill need to check. Polite terms used in the Javanese polite register.). Ive posted it here before, but cant find it right now. Its a heated overstatement about the authors perceived opponents.. If N-S is not a true grouping, then perhaps the landscape is more fractal. In: Bernd Heine & Derek Nurse (eds), A linguistic geography of Africa. Well, most of the land area where AA languages are spoken is rather better suited to pastoralism than to agriculture per se, and there is evidence for pastoralism at Nabta Playa (southern Egypt) by around 7500 BC, so a pastoral expansion doesnt seem like an unreasonable idea a priori. being old relics, and the other Ethiosemitic languages being re-migrations from Arabia. Having followed the link to the South Arabian thread link, it struck me that unless he posts under a pseudonym, Trevor has to be one of the most influential lurkers in the hallowed history of bligging. Cf. I have no grasp of the diversity, its true. Brick? Do the verbs have clear cognates outside the family about as much as nouns do? Tucker and Bryan (1966:1-2) and Tucker (1967:18-19) argue against any use of the term Hamitic and suggest the term Erythraic, based on the Greek term for the Red Sea (eruthr thlassa). ), Then you have a different set of isoglosses for the subjunctive. It helps, of course, that the family is well known (and usually far from isolating), and that the Spachbund itself is fairly well studied; but its also interesting that what derivational morphology survives is very Chadic-like: plural verbs formed by infixation of /a/ . Ive looked. The modern term is KONGO. And more. ), For the Blench paper in question, see The westward wanderings of Cushitic pastoralists. In Arabic Hamito-Semitic remains somewhat more widely understood, but theres no original research on the subject to speak of in Arabic. I thought more about it may be there are not that many -ka/-ik froms that are motivated by a mass noun. Thanks, drasvi: thats clarifying. But its also 23 years old. Then he quotes from the very same article by Nichols as Claude Rilly (where he was calculating the degree of closeness between Meroitic and Nubian words for brother and sister). This supposed uniformity is just an artefact of largely evidence-free lumping. But as it happens, Gldemann does do both: for a more reconstruction-centric example, cf. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Most people doing comparative work on African languages seem to have graduated (in several senses) from working on a thesis on some individual African language, broadening their scope once established as an academic. Linguists typically argue in favor of abstract representations for language, but many recent approaches to language within the cognitive science framework have stressed the importance of surface forms. But this should not be an issue now. Dravidian *mn and Austronesian *Sikan (or at least Malayo-Polynesian *hikan) look quite stable as well. I give up with that one. and it doesnt mean people arent aware of what the live animal looks like. Investigating another Semitic language, Algerian Arabic, Mimouni and Jarema (1995) obtained results similar to those put forth in Grodzinsky (1984) in the performance of three agrammatic subjects. Figure 5. But I would again say that the diversity of something like N-S is what I would expect if a group that obtained some technological advantage 12 kya began expanding while merging with the linguistically diverse peoples it could assimilate. There is no similarity between Arabic languages( languages of Assyrian and in Twitter. Blench seems to know the right questions and go at them heartily. The constants are the semantically salient human and liquid classes; elsewhere the systems get regularly remodelled and recreated. to pick an IE homeland in Anatolia, but they used a computer. (The article itself is behind a paywall.). -u < * < *-n); or that if going by haphazard collections of morphology, you can easily show Mari to be probably a Turkic language. We can easily believe there may have been many other dialects and even languages from other groups early on, but that over centuries, the regime obliterated them before they ever reached print. And I dont think his mud forms support it (even if he can explain the vowel changes.). The Adamawa language Samba Leko, for example, has only about half a dozen nouns that inflect for number at all (e.g. First, it may help some to know that DM is quoting the Blench article, not a post somewhere above. Proto-Mande is certainly doable. 100% of African population was influenced by/partially descended from the same Eurasian populations which brought agriculture to Europe. 0 concluded that if all we had was the contemporary varieties, wed know well enough that they were related, but would never be able to work out just how. Yes. If we had no Indo-European languages to compare apart from the modern ones, along with just Old Welsh (doing duty for Old Nubian), the Gaulish remains would be of some value but not a lot. Yet a different Semitic writing tradition would descend from the Proto-Canaanite script. However, an abecedary found at the Palestinian site of Beth Shemesh, consisting of consonantal cuneiform characters like those in use at Ugarit, shows the same letter order as found in the Old South Arabian script. Would make a nice PhD thesis. And yet genetics seems to show that affinity is not illusory. Rabbits were pets, though I suppose some people ate the ones they raised themselves, and not available in stores until later. Maybe ommiting it doesnt affect the other branches? Every dataset is a matrix of hypotheses. Jabal al-Lughat Though given todays news, it might have been more topical for me to find new scholarship on Kehf el-Boroud! Unfortunately, the WOV languages are actually all pretty similar when measured on a Swadesh-100 metric, so its something of an explanation in search of a problem. This is why when I see fish: fish: samaka / asmk / d (a fish, fishes, catch) in a grammar description, I udnerstand that Omanese usage is different, but I am not sure if the author missed some semantical differences. ), Wordlists were modified from Swadeshs 100-word list of most conserved words (Swadesh 1955), with the final lists containing 96 words for 25 extant and extinct Semitic languages, Oh dear. Also in the middle of the nineteenth century, we get the appearance of the technical sense: Physical Geography (originally U.S.). Think about entering a kitchen, where too many things are cooked (or fried) at once and especially oil was burning. the most breathtakingly groundbreaking papers on ecology, evolution or genetics still get into Nature). The authors do not seem to address the dispersity of the AA populations, but assert that in more recent times much of the Sahara was occupied by Nilotic people. But assuming this is the underlying paper: , . . Lexilogos (French) Friedrich Mller named the traditional Hamito-Semitic family in 1876 in his Grundriss der Sprachwissenschaft (Outline of Linguistics), and defined it as consisting of a Semitic group plus a Hamitic group containing Egyptian, Berber, and Cushitic; he excluded the Chadic group. Romanian obraz cheek, Makedonian cheek, Serbo-Croatian cheek, honour, face*, and Bulgarian image, shape, face, character). Im also available if you need a coauthor. The latter two are just spinoffs of the first, created mainly to maximize all impact factors (i.e. This is a really good summary of the situation: Digital Dictionaries of South Asia Can this method detect admixtures, or is it a measure of relative distance? I dont assume uniformity arose in deep antiquity. That said, I seem to remember that the idea that Semitic originated in Ethiopia and spread from there to Asia (propagated by Roger Blench?) but for some reason dikobraz just didnt sound like a porcupine. The singulative marker is similar to one found in Russian (-in-). On the other hand, the genome analysis of the KEB population suggests that it can be modeled as a mixture of IAM and Anatolian/European Neolithic, and it also presents a lower sub-Saharan component than IAM or Tarofalt. The closest things to reconstructions of Proto-Sino-Tibetan are matters of Ruhlen-style eyeballing, with the exception of one properly done reconstruction that is based on only four languages and therefore misses a lot. In George Dunkel et al. Someone else could comment on this more knowledgeably, but I dont like this argument. Horses are not much in evidence in West Africa, on the whole. If it were spelled urox, I think I would have less of a hard time of it. Also Indeed the English cat derives from Latin cattus, which is probably borrowed from Berber gius, applied to the North African wild cat., sadly without links. In. Greek and type). Maybe if your always starts at a time posterior to securely ocean-worthy boat technology (which, sure, is relatively early in the Mediterranean). forager from Mota, southern Ethiopia(24)to represent distinct components of ances-try plausibly found in ancient and present-dayeastern Africans, with present-day western Africans among the outgroups. I know that the Comanche plundered Texas and Mexico on an ongoing basis, but these were populous and relatively wealthy societies. Basic word order emerges very early indeed, first between phrasal constituents, only later within phrases. Colloquially youd just hear guppy, I guess. Somehow I think its hard to do better than Carleton Hodge, IndoEuropeans in the Near East, Anthropological Linguistics 23 (1981) 227 244 : We are now in a position to address ourselves to the problem of the IE homeland. And from what I understand there are three voseo verbal inflections, depending on dialect: habls, habls, hablei; Cortzar, a Porteo, always used (in written dialogue) forms of the type vos habls. If you find the same language in distant countries, you may be sure that the inhabitants of each have been the same people; that is to say, if you find the languages are a good deal the same; for a word here and there the same will not do. But there is always room for more ). We know that Sumerian was transmitted in a relatively recognizable form through more than two millenia (not including the period when it was still the main spoken language); it would not especially surprise me if essentially the same happened to Akkadian, such that 8th century BC spoken Assyrian (and/or Babylonian) had about the same relationship to contemporary written Akkadian as (say) 16th century AD spoken Italian (and/or Spanish) had to contemporary written Latin. As if we had a reconstructable IE word for dhoti, True enough: the *pisk- word seems to be just Italic, Celtic and Germanic. Tower of Babel etymological database This comparison showed little preference for a model with Arabic within Central Semitic over one with Arabic within South Semitic (log BF 0.438). -in- is either less common, Deyr f, Next, adjacent clauses are combined, first by coordination, subsequently by various kinds of subordinate constructions initially mainly finite and subsequently nonfinite leading up to complex clause-linkage by derived nominalizations (Berman, 1993). He needed words documented and available for many langauges, he chose 165 including hat. Lameen, I suspect youll find this one pretty interesting too: Population history of North Africa based on modern and ancient genomes If you had two completely isolating languages where most of the lexemes could be shown to match according to regular sound changes it would be reasonable to conclude that they were genetically related, so long as there were good reasons to exclude creolisation or massive borrowing as the explanation; even then, you would be entirely justified in saying that the relationship was not mere chance. This is not a feature of the method, it is incompetence in its execution. Shark also appears there alongside with the recently discussed coin: hle fish fr Oman in BRO 84f ist nicht nur hele = Hai wie in RHO II:13, sondern allgemeine Bezeichnung: sayd and hle are synonyms. Poletika was hm. Has anyone ever proposed that another known branch of IE split before Anatolian? turned the aspirates into affricates, and then the postvocalic short ones into long fricatives.). *not sure if English speakers do it, consider it my martian accent. And I like his idea that mathematical methods might be used to prove that a particular question of language relationship is undecidable. Unless the study of North African genetics has missed an incursion, it seems like you have to either believe the Berber group of Afroasiatic developed in situ starting at the last glacial maximum, independently of the other branches of Afroasiatic, which were all also developing for 18,000 years, on the basis of a proto-Afroasiatic which was already present in some or all of these places; or that Berbers origin is in a prestige trade language that spread, then later fissured. He studied in Kiev and worked in SPb. Constituent ordering is followed by grammatical marking of verbargument relations, around the same time or somewhat before inflectional marking of grammatical agreement. I do like his section on the limits of the comparative method, though I dont think he goes far enough with his caution (as you will have gathered.). I was greatly taken aback to find just how very little there was to support these grandiose claims. In Irish wasnt sure exactly what he focused on for a text to support grandiose., but these were populous and bantu semitic language wealthy societies help provide and enhance our service and content.
