bantu semitic language

MacBains Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language (1911 edition) Thats the shape youd get for the area delimited by two meridians (say, 25 and 75W, being ambitious) and a parallel (say, 22S) not all that far from the territory claimed by the countries in question, though the Antarctic bit of those claims is obviously more controversial than the rest. Now that the affiliation of Meroitic is settled American Heritage Dictionary Chinese Character Dictionary This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. Someone should package this into a transcendant essay the worlds languages have many wonderful etymologies for hedgehog, but only one for fox. Overall progression thus involves an evolution in construction types. I was doing some Swadesh-100 type stuff myself with the Oti-Volta languages for a paper that I shall release to a grateful world if it ever gets to a state where I cant pick huge holes in it myself. And there seems to be a slow ongoing flow of new primary evidence inscriptions certainly, but even paper seems possible given the paleo-climate. If what I see in his works is so much different from what people say about them, it tells something about these people, not him. Related to the category of gender, classifier systems prototypically have to do with counting, and we can see a faint bit of it in English: five head of cattle, six pieces of furniture and related measure phrases. The trick to make sure the noise is random enough for this to work is to make sure you arent really including the same character twice in different wordings (or, as Ive seen happen, seven times); with morphological data, that can be quite difficult (ultimately it requires more understanding of development genetics than we currently have), and with lexical data, its a failure of peer review in the original PIE is old enough for Renfrew paper. Jewish Lexicon Project Citrus Moon As far as I know, the new & flashy hypothesis that Semitic originated where East & West Semitic met in historical times is textbook wisdom. Kusaal (like English) has quite a number of agent nouns with idiosyncratic meanings not immediately obvious from the verb meaning, but people still associate them with the relevant verb (e.g. I dont remember in what connection. Everything could be. But such subclassifications stand on doubly faulty foundations. Im not misrepresenting Blench at all in this matter: simply describing exactly what he does (in two quite specific instances, moreover.) The general idea, that nasals were allophones of high nasal vowels in Proto-Volta-Congo. Constituent ordering is followed by grammatical marking of verb-argument relations, around the same time or somewhat before inflectional marking of grammatical agreement. 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 But it cannot be fixed by tinkering with the mathematics, because this isnt the problem in the first place Some of the subgroups have it, but they might have invented it themselves. And geese are poultry. He makes a goodish case for lexicostatistics having some value if kept firmly under control. For AntC, (1) I believe salmon were once so plentiful one did not need to look for other river fish and (2) I find it more curious that the more common lox word for salmon has no cognate in Irish with the meaning, than that the cattle-prizing Celts borrowed the latin generic word for fish, The native word icne salmon in middle Irish. Via Dmitry Pruss on Facebook, an open-access Cell paper, The genomic history of the Middle East by Mohamed A. Almarri, Marc Haber, Reem A. Lootah, Pille Hallast, Saeed Al Turki, Hilary C. Martin, Yali Xue, and Chris Tyler-Smith: The Middle East region is important to understand human evolution and migrations but is underrepresented in genomic studies. (Hausa has borrowed two; Thai has borrowed one through ten.). I give up with that one. If N-S is not a true grouping, then perhaps the landscape is more fractal. Cf. but Jabal al-Lughat Laudator Temporis Acti More important, it would seem difficult to show consistent sound changes with such a small pool of potential matches. Etymologies of Serbo-Croatian and Czech dikobraz are wonderful: Serbo-Croatian, : Borrowed by Bogoslav ulek from Czech dikobraz. Also, if hedgehogs resemble camel bellies, I cant see it myself , I suppose that it might at a pinch be that an original zgempende had got changed to ygempende by analogy with ygemde camel, but it seems improbable on the Kusaal side that an original *zugudir hedgehog would become yugudir under the influence of ygm camel., On the other hand, the -- of Moor ygempende is unexpected: the Kusaal has /u/ not //. You can say the same about any crank: If he believes the earth is flat, he is right to object to the round-earth hypothesis. You seem to have a charming but unhelpful (if one is searching for truth) fondness for cranks. Who is claiming this? If you want still more detail, follow up the references in that article. However, of the polysynthetic branches, some of the inflectional morphology of the one in Sichuan and some of that of the one in Nepal is evidently cognate, so it does seem to go far back. Or I do not know, maybe to Germanists it looks easier. 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. almost impossible to establish recurrent and regular phonological correspondences. The closest one, though a dead language, is Canaanite, of which Hebrew is one of its derivatives. The others are Phoenician, Ugaritic, and Punic (C But I think it is an interesting problem and its worthy of an explicit discussion for reasons mentioned by DE among other things. He does say in his brief discussion of the terms for boy and girl that he cant give all the reasoning that he included in his 500 page book. They go on to give a standard account of the branches of the Semitic family, and they seem to place the homeland of PS somewhere in eastern Syria. Noic (Russian Noy, Noah) did come time to my mind, but not Mitic, I never thought about it!!! There is abundant evidence for the spread of languages like Mande, Songhay and Hausa over the last couple of millennia (or even later.) I added figuring out the attestation chronology to my to do list (perhaps inspired by this passage in Kossmann, cattuscattus is funny. What methods? Welsh is quite fond of making singulatives out of plurals, which then oust the original singular form, as with llygoden mouse Latin Dictionary and Grammar Aid So yes, I support Macrocushitic. Where were the referees? In other words: but nothing of this I would call domestication, Thats because you have a hold of the right stick, but at the wrong end. Moreover, Oti-Volta class affixes are suffixed, not prefixed, and they are relatively loose, which expresses itself in the pervasive compounding of nouns (as bare stems) and modifiers. [ttmi fahre faxreh/kal]. However, just now looking at the actual Swadesh 100 list, I can only see four French loans offhand (and four Norse.) It would be an unusual sort of change, I reckon. No, that would be booooring*. The native word icne salmon in middle Irish This is even more important for creatures that live in the water, where heat loss is much faster than in air. Derek Elderkin. But negative values must mean support for the second of the two models :-/, The idea that the position of Arabic within Semitic could be definitively settled even in principle by looking at Swadesh 100 lists is ludicrous in itself, but worse yet shows a more or less complete lack of understanding of historical linguistics. And what it says is that these are the the kind of people who see everything in terms of darkness and light and Great Scholars. Far Outliers PIE *Vs()rV > *VzrV > PGmc *VrV. 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. IAM individuals (7000 years old) showed close genome-wide affinities with the Tarofalt individuals. Or this fire/candle chads. General view of Early Bronze Age Tomb 1, an elite tomb with multiple burials. hedgehog, Danish pindsvin, Norvegian piggsvin Faroese tindasvn, Icelandic broddgltur (hedge, pin, pike, tine, brod), West Frisian ychelbaarch hedgehog pig, Swedish, Icelandic igelkott, igulkttur (Wiktionary explains the first part as Old Norse sea urchin, but it is the germanic root for hedgehog. On Akkadian in the neo-Babylonian and neo-Assyrian empires: my understanding is that Aramaic had largely if not completely supplanted Akkadian by the fall of the neo-Assyrian empire circa 600 BCE. So much of the ancient writing that remains to us is repetitive funerary formulae. *not sure if English speakers do it, consider it my martian accent. $PX j'k1JuX^ Its not just Latin and Berber we have to play with here: the words also found in Greek (kattos/katta), Arabic (qitt), Syriac (qatt/qattu), not to mention Nubian, Celtic, and Germanic Plenty of space for specialists in each family to decide its origin is someone elses problem. This is a really good summary of the situation: For warm-blooded, air-breathing animals, it is well known that related species and subspecies tend to be larger nearer to the poles, where having a small surface-area-to-volume ratio helps them keep warm. -er. Thanks. Turns out it is, just not the way youd think. As the [AA] languages are all closer to each other than to IE, the latter must have left their Nile homeland by 13,000 at the very latest It would appear that they went down the Nile, and, under pressure, on into Palestine-Syria, and made their way into Anatolia . I dont get the impression that presumed PIE etymologies play much of a role, in fact, but I know very little about this. For Western Oti-Volta, the idea of substrata would make a lot of sense on first principles; it seems very likely that the current geographical range of these languages is a development of the last few centuries. Though quite a lot of recent good descriptions of languages from that unhappy part of the world have actually been primarily based on work with refugees in Khartoum or even farther afield. Temperature is still going to be an important issue, even for the cold blooded. The point is that Newcastle upon Tyne (with no Southern hyphens in it, please) was the center of the coal export industry in Britain when there was any coal to export. In his font the characters are slightly distinct, but I dont know enough to tell which Unicode symbol, if any, is appropriate here. Eastern part of the family. recently I read Western Bantuists as Bantuists who speak a western Bantu. Nobody is claiming that failing to reconstruct morphology is an absolute bar to demonstrating a genetic relationship. Word Oddities (Escuch voces y los v, agarrados a unas boyas, Diario de Cdiz, 21 May 2009. It certainly helps to be familiar with at least one of the languages in question, but even that neednt imply actual residence in the area. The place for that would not be in the heartland of WOV in N Ghana and E Burkina, where the languages are all quite similar, but in the Atakora dpartement of Benin, and I nominate Boulba speakers: https://www.sil.org/resources/publications/entry/9094. So this absence is not a neutral thing to be blithely ignored in comparative work: its a powerful argument against Mande being related to Volta-Congo at all. He just likes to think of the Dogon languages as all part of the family (I like the idea myself, on that level. Evidence that the internet is not as idiotic as it often looks. Ku(d) referred to both fresh and salty varieties, and the same sign was used as a semantic determiner for fish of all kettles. People of both Sahul and the Sahel could cover large distances by cassowary-pulled chariots. We have (then) gained a quantification of which phylogenetic hypothesis, which hypothetical tree, is the most parsimonious. Similar results are reported by Kehayia (1990) and Kehayia, Jarema, and Kadzielawa (1990) for Greek, a language in which bare stems are never legal. To redress the balance and give a proper perspective, we should adopt Macrocushitic for the huge group of languages now known to be related to Hausa, like Hebrew, Arabic and Egyptian. and sometimes elaborated, over time.

I had believed that ur- as meaning ancient or prototypical was a recent coinage as archaeologists came to recognize Ur as the earliest and prototypical city. Schleicher published six years before the O.S., and he and Darwin exchanged letters. But the genetics looks interesting and might deserve better linguistics or archaeology. That could be wholly unrelated to what I call a blunder; Ill need to check. Why is there not simply a mosaic of languages that are more discontinuous with each other, whose affinities are at a vast depth of time? ~ German drehen turn, rotate. I just typed this postscriptum in a hurry. There is for example the suffix - -chi in fish names like chamchi tuna, samchi mackerel, galchi hairtail, kamulchi northern snakehead, hwangsaechi swordfish (literally, stork fish), etc., but I dont know if is attested in an earlier, independent existence. It does make a contact explanation for the rise of gender in Southern Nilotic seem a little more tempting. Porcupine is monosyllabic in Kusaal: snm /s:m/. Harold Fleming (2006) proposes that Ongota constitutes a separate branch of Afroasiatic. Following the Uruk Collapse, an apparent indigenous development (the pivotal Ninevite V period) climaxed in widespread urbanism (by 2600BCE), for example, the 216-acre city-state of Tell Leilan. Vinces assignment from the Lord is to proclaim that the Bisrat (Gospel) of Yeshua is for all nations, tribes and tongues and to do this by teaching on the earliest history of Christianity in Africa and Asia. Speculative Grammarian The international sense relates to a group of over 300 widely distributed and closely related languages of Black Africa south of a (Science)), Although our analysis provided inconsistent support for Arabic as a lineage of Central Semitic (i.e. It was only really Germanic that was added to this, composed of several languages themselves recorded for a lot longer than any Niger-Congo language. It will be soon; Ill try to remember to post the link here. It is the case that some of the verbs that dont match within WOV itself have cognates in the non-Western branches: for example be lying down in Mampruli-Dagbani is do, with cognates in all the other Oti-Volta branches except Byali, but not in the rest of WOV itself (Kusaal digi, Moor ge ). WebBantu languages, a group of some 500 languages belonging to the Bantoid subgroup of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. But to put it more concretely in Rillys terms, Northern East Sudanic.) Omniglot Vince, his wife Diana, and their daughters live and minister in St. Louis and they love to travel, watch movies and bust some spades. Moreover, trees as presently published have bare nodes, that is, there is no actual evidence to support the node such as isoglosses or phonological shifts. My problem is not as much their recomendations as the experience of reading PDFs on their site (and downloading, which requires me to be logged it). Lexical representation and organization of a French verb with a single root (manger, to eat), and of a French verb with two roots (vendre, to sell). The values assigned to the phonetic characters of this earliest Semitic scriptcharacters of pictographic formwere determined by the initial consonant of the Semitic word for the symbol depicted, rather than by any phonetic value associated with a corresponding Egyptian symbol. It seems that instead, something advantaged Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan. ), Anyway mainly popping in to note that if this is the Chez Hat African Macrofamilies thread by now, Id be interested in hearing what David E or others might have to say on Pozdniakovs recent paper on classifying Atlantic; comes out firmly on side of no unified Atlantic, but also still forming the western branches of Atlantic-Congo. I suspect that given time, on the American steppe the equestrian Sioux. Your thesis seems to be essentially that a basically valid methodology has been skunked (in the opinion of mainstream historical linguists,at least) by extremely poor implementation. Hes got lots of papers on academia.edu if you can bear all the spam that results from merely brushing past the site. Thats hilarious about Kehf and Kelif. Instead, some of the proposed cognates-or-whatever have nontrivial sound correspondences to Cushitic and Omotic, notably Hadza /t/ AA /k/ despite, as is pointed out, Hadza having a /k/. Other pages dont have this pattern (which indeed makes the text unreadable). From another thread: Actually there was a study from two sites in Morocco (5000 and 3000 BC) and one site in Iberia (5000) that found European admixture in the younger Moroccan site. Have a look at some of his other papers and see for yourself. Bloomfields Language, despite its age, is actually still a pretty good introduction. 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. S1: Swadesh lists for 25 languages Unfortunaletly they do not describe the archaeological context. A minutes googling reveals questions like Qu pescados son de agua salada? which proceed to link to sites like Peces de agua salada.). It would be surprizing if any competent users of Spanish applied the word pescado to a live fish. - He says that the shared developments common to Not-Anatolian Indo-European are relatively modest, which Ive read elsewhere; that would certainly be relevant to the issue of the status of Anatolian as a branch versus a sister. If Africanists cant achieve this they mustnt pretend that they can. Comanche, Apaches, and Navajo would eventually have overwhelmed the sedentary earth lodge peoples in the north (the Arikara, Mandan, and Hidatsa, who were seriously weakened already by the middle of the XIXc) and maybe the Pueblo tribes in the south (Zuni, Hopi, et al). By I am no Greenberg, to be deluded by such pretty baubles . Furthermore, the substituting inflection generally is selected within the targets paradigm; for example, a verb inflection is substituted by another verb inflection, indicating that subcategorization features of lexical items are not violated. *reversible copula. Thats why its so hard to tell if the borrowing in Bi goes all the way down. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2699d31r, Better is his treatment here of a range of Northern East Sudanic languages here: >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. This situation is not unusual, even among long-established language families: scholars also frequently disagree on the internal classification of the Indo-European languages, for instance. Papers that are merely breathtaking or groundbreaking are not good enough for Nature; if you submit them there, theyll be reassigned to Nature Something so the publisher and the brand still profit, without diluting Natures impact factor if theyre not simply rejected. Wow, I love seeing this kind of thing worked out with examples like that. RAI Dizionario dOrtografia e di Pronunzia (includes proper names) @ Y. . The location of Proto-Semitic is deduced as follows: The presence of ancient members of the two oldest Semitic groups (East and West Semitic) in the same region of the Levant, combined with a possible long interval (1003000 years) between the origin of Semitic and the appearance of Akkadian in Sumer, suggests a Semitic origin in the northeast Levant and a later movement of Akkadian eastward into Mesopotamia and Sumer. In other words, pick a spot between Proto East Semitic and Akkadian, and call it a homeland. Vince is the author ofA Multitude of All Peoples(IVP),Gospel Haymanot (UMI) andThe Bisrat(Jude 3 Project). For that matter, what is the Proto-Permic one? Gray & Atkinson used the cognate sets as characters and presence/absence thereof as the states. XVIII [Dictionary of 18th-c. Russian] The rRNA genes are large, universal (except in sub-cellular things like viruses), and possess both regions that can change easily (being primary structural) and regions that are very resistant to change (since they are key to the ribozyme functionality). except for Semitic, which is also spoken in the Middle-East and Malta, all branches of the Afrosiatic family are spoken exclusively on the African continent. (DE). Interesting footnote: There are a number of loans between Latin and Berber, including Berber gittus into Latin cattus, cat I doubt if thats as uncontroversial as he makes it sound. Yes, I had seen that. In this paper he reckons he has identified that the Meroitic works for brother and sister are NES by way of some special pleading and dialect cherry-picking, and then makes the claim that these two words alone prove statistically that the odds of Meroitic belonging to NES is 1 in 3,200,000. It occurs to me that Cortzars forms may have been old-fashioned even for his time, as he was born in 1914 and spent most of his adult life in Paris. Gk. Youre probably talking about something like Indo-European in terms of overall diversity, and there are a lot of well-described Mande languages nowadays to be working with. (In good faith, certainly.) But, regardless, I doubt whether Kitchen et al* even know why real historical linguists think that shared innovations matter. A long time ago, on a website far, far away, there was a page on archelology, with lolcat captions on archeology-related pictures. And, Ive heard Starostins name a lot, but wasnt sure exactly what he focused on. If a percentage of the 50 was a slender reed, some of the 20 is a blade of grass. Anyone who imposes a very specific requirement can find herself in the same situation as a certian internet poliglot who says that you cant learn a foreign language without listening to it (like learning to play violin without actually trying). Its interesting to see that the Omotic groups do indeed show an average of maybe 25% Egyptian affinity, versus 50% for both Cushitic and Semitic-speaking groups and a small slice of pie in Nilo-Saharan speakers. Sanskrit: mna (from Dravidian) 1. Underlying ghoti is obscured by nasty laringeals. Sure. ScriptSource Obrz (with this stress) is mostly found in modern scientific compounds with connective -o-, with the meaning -oid. I dont think that replacing the sedentary tribes was the objective, but I think that they equestrian raids would put such a load on these peoples that they couldnt survive. Dikobraz , at least in BCSM, is totally opaque dik- might bring up dika (pride) instead of divlj- (wild) but the real issue is obraz is most likely to be interpreted as cheek or else face/reputation, and while it can mean something like form in some cases, no one would understand X-obraz to mean X-like. Southern Cushitic also has a voiceless lateral, #-, in the same C slot (Ehret 1987:80). 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. In doing so, Greenberg sought to emphasize the fact that Hamitic was not a valid group and that language cladistics did not reflect race. In: Geographical typology and Linguistic areas. That was deliberate. Despite this, Greenbergs classification remains a starting point for modern work of many languages spoken in Africa, and the Hamitic category (and its extension to Nilo-Hamitic) has no part in this. 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. @DE no, it is not Blench! He places Ongota in South Omotic. (a self-pirated version is somewhere on the Internet. There is another argument that Ethiopian Semitic just stayed there rather then arrived from Asia. A ukud abak fished in the saltwater sea, while a ukud a dugak fished in rivers and lakes. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/300471822_Proto-Bantu_and_Proto-Niger-Congo_Macro-areal_Typology_and_Linguistic_Reconstruction, * I was going to write just verbal morphology, but there are more dimensions to complexity than the number of morphemes per verb word. Linguistically, Egypt seems more parsimonious as a starting point. its not a bad way to go if you can convince yourself at an early stage that the subgroups are conservative, Trouble is, conservative is not equally distributed. electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language This seems in line with what might have been my naive expectation that agriculture would have led to population expansion out of the Levant, as it did in Europe during the Neolithic. Otherwise, Id think wed see instead of Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan the diversity that we see in the click languages. The Migration Period vandalized the West Germanic tree pretty thoroughly. (In the place of production sense, Danish also has mejeri = dairy which is probably older than bageri. mereswine*), Porpoise in Welsh is the poetic llamhidydd leaper, acrobat.. Many of the templates themselves bear consistent meaning of the sort associated with inflectional morphology in English (e.g. This proposal and name have met with widespread acceptance. Stable enough that the living fish swims in water has been claimed to be mutually comprehensible between all Uralic languages. Proto-Canaanite writing also served as the inspiration and model for the script of the ancient Levantine city of Ugarit. The term Indo-Hittite was coined between these two phases and regrettably not reintroduced (not even as Indo-Anatolian, which exists but hasnt caught on) during the slow, gradual end of the second phase. (I think Blench has a bit of a nerve in moaning about methodological errors by those who respond poorly to hand-waving.). >Rilly says: the Proto-Nubian word [for mud] was therefore *noog (collective) / *nig-di (singulative) mud, silt. Carp can reach 100 pounds , catfish can surpass 600 pounds (the Mekong catfish), and the largest sturgeon weighed more than a ton and a half. (Caveat lector; for one thing, the tables should not be confused with etymologies or cognate sets.). Arabic /ktb/ signifies the semantic domain of writing) which gets interleaved into fixed templates: KaTaB means wrote, KuTiB means was written and maKTaB means desk. >The really striking thing about the paper for me was how overwhelmingly Natufian the ancestry of Arabian Arabs is. Well, I searched for his Dogon paper, found it here and it has made me lose all respect for Blench. Dimmendaals belief that Songhay is definitely related to Nilotic. Akkadian WS split does not look very useful for classification:(. How likely are two neighbouring families to be closely related? 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. To my mind, this makes it all the more strange that he doesnt come to the same conclusion about Dogon. Not everything here hedge, pike, spike, pin, spine, tine, brod, means exactly a thorn/prick[le] etc., but many do, many mean similar things and I could name many more. Its not a textbook (unlike the Bloomfield one) but it gives you a real feel for what one of the greatest of all linguists EVAH thought about language. As far as I know, the new & flashy hypothesis that Semitic originated where East & West Semitic met in historical times is textbook wisdom.
