bantu semitic language

2100 pages by now, and I do not know if he is going to write about, say, Oti-Volta:), I do not know if he is going to write about, say, Oti-Volta, Hes most welcome to do so, though I suspect hed find it a bit dull, given that the languages are all unequivocally and uncontroversially related. Can derived words collapse too? S4: a tree based on what they call multistate representation of data. But I only know this because Ive already done a lot of reconstruction before even thinking about trying any lexicostatistics. Proto-Semitic passed through the Nile delta from the West to the East, and reached Western Asia, where written documents of the third millennium B.C. Jan Freemans Boston Globe column Or this fire/candle chads. Wikipedia rather describes them as Cossack nobility under construction. Epigrues IIRC some of the other groups in SE Asia have the same nearly everything is isolating problem, but Sino-Tibetan is particularly blatant because of how long-range it is (Sinitic split off from the rest of Tibeto-Burman something like 5-6 kiloyears ago, and some other Trans-Himalayan languages might have split off even earlier). His Meroitic doesnt look anything like that to me. And their method is incapable of discovering any. Thai: (bplaa), (miin). So I just piled them up: they seem to deviate from the general scheme t(a) in koine to the west of Libya, samak(a) to the east. I dont think Piotr has put *-sr in there yet; Danish bager = baker may contain that native morpheme, suspiciously similar to the agentive morpheme in boulanger, but bageri is formed directly from the verb stem and the borrowed business morpheme. and i dont know of languages that do a salt/freshwater fish distinction. In particular, he criticizes a hyper-rigorous approach to morphological reconstruction by the broad masses of linguists who are not directly engaged into reconstruction work.. Im fairly sure that a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of the currently spoken Germanic languages based on Swadesh lists would show that English was basal. Rigorously , (From which it follows that the Germanic languages originated in the North Sea. 1975. A long time ago, on a website far, far away, there was a page on archelology, with lolcat captions on archeology-related pictures. https://www.academia.edu/41113915/Chabu_and_Kadu_two_orphan_branches_of_Nilo_Saharan. The Aramaic script gave rise to the writing system of Syriac (ca. The collapse of the Ghassulian culture in Palestine around 3300 B.C. There are not many linguists anywhere. But to put it more concretely in Rillys terms, Northern East Sudanic.) But crank is probably over the top. Wikipedia defines it as a coastal, supratidal mudflat or sandflat in which evaporite-saline minerals accumulate as the result of semiarid to arid climate, but in Arabic it is a salt flat that is not necessarily supratidal. In Melchert, Western Affinities of Anatolian. I do not know which of these two they meant when they began using the compound. Speculative Grammarian Nobody is claiming that failing to reconstruct morphology is an absolute bar to demonstrating a genetic relationship. There is, however, some amount of evidence for large taxonomic blocks (stocks) that constitute subdivisions of this linguistic phantom, albeit not necessarily the same subdivisions as postulated by Greenberg and his followers.. But I shouldnt wonder if we (they) got it from French where it seems very productive, cf boulangerie). Skinner (1975:477) suggests Mitic, based on the part common to the terms Hamitic and Semitic; he also suggests Noahitic, following Biblical precedent. There is no comparable data set in linguistics. Gbeya is, in fact, undoubtedly related to Kusaal, but these are just a testimony to the amazing power of pure coincidence (like Persian bad bad.). That development is parallelled on the other side by warp ~ werfen throw. A problem with lexicostatistics on a set of languages which are certainly related, but the sound changes are not always clear, is that the question of whether two forms actually match for lexicostastical purposes or not can be far from objective, and I am very dubious of techniques which purport to get round this. I dont believe Egyptian *ramc has any known cognate in Semitic. The Afroasiatic identity of Ongota is also broadly questioned, as is its position within Afroasiatic among those who accept it, due to the mixed appearance of the language and a paucity of research and data. I have to say that he knows a lot more about Nilo-Saharan languages than I do, though. If such a migration took place, then there should be scattered loaned livestock terms in Nilo-Saharan languages all the way between the Nile and Lake Chad. Where were the referees? One scholar who still doesnt accept a basic Anatolian Non-Anatolian IE split is Roland Pooth. . In fact, in some instances, like derived nominals or the high-register Latinate lexicon of English, children will master derivational processes only well into school age. Im re-reading this thread, and long ago before expansive digressions on hedgehogs and fish, Nilo-Saharan was a topic, including DEs comment that even sub-branches of sub-branches were still being unraveled. Manessy had the right idea about comparative work (and his work remains valuable) but he was working with extremely scanty materials much of the time and also made several fundamental methodological errors. 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.). (1) an event: people from islands A and C together colonized island B and created mixed population Courtesy Glenn M. Schwartz. Kordofanian is not a unity; Greenberg himself admitted that his evidence for lumping it into his Niger-Congo was nearly all typological. 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. And it was the wiki that said Early European Farmer. I vaguely thought either the wiki was wrong, or the original study used it as some sort of proxy population. If it were spelled urox, I think I would have less of a hard time of it. All three used the idea of a tree representing those innovations as a representation of descent by modification. From the description of the changes in C Chulainns appearance when he enters his rastrad or battle frenzy. geographically isolated populations and parallel development (in this case you can postulate some seed of this feature in the ancestor, unless it is a coincidence. PDF and references are for 19.50 pounds. Its not as crude as early lexicostatistics. Its titled The Small Bang and it reports on a newly funded project to collect linguistic data on Bangime and other Dogon languages. Hare is small game like pheasant and quail WIWAL that was a different class from chickens and geese on one side, and pork and beef on the other. It could well be that the word is not derived from anything and is an unanalysable element meaning wild ox. Nevertheless, Im sure that one can do valuable comparative work with materials gathered by others. So the early Neolithic in North Africa is consistent with Paleolithic genetics, but the later Neolithic is loaded with Middle Eastern genomes. They survey evidence of population flows out of North Africa, but notably mention no pulses in the direction of the Levant. Otherwise nearly all Kusaal three-mora diphthongs occur clause-finally before prosodic enclitics: Li an nua. 1:11, 9:11) seems to mean prepared food for eating while traveling. The three best trees we could find were all very bad, all about equally bad, and each impugned by a quite different set of non-convex characters. Not an entirely random set of survivors, but one that reflects random replacement through time, and then survivors of those dialects that in turn fracture. Figure 2 shows Spread of Iran-like ancestry and Semitic languages. All this is way beyond my pay grade, but I expect better-informed Hatters will have useful things to say about it. And so, when IEists say Proto-Indo-European, they variously mean Proto-Indo-Anatolian, Proto-Indo-Tocharian, Proto-Indo-Actually-European, the first two, the last two, all three, or their lack of conscious awareness that this is actually an issue. No, I have no idea why it isnt uras as would be expected. guinea pig (Meerschweinchen) 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. And no outflow in the relevant time periods. Tower of Babel etymological database Yes, its the only language, unless you count Samaritan Hebrew as a different language, but thats a very long shot. 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. Vince is the author ofA Multitude of All Peoples(IVP),Gospel Haymanot (UMI) andThe Bisrat(Jude 3 Project). Here, we generated 137 high-coverage physically phased genome sequences from eight Middle Eastern populations using linked-read sequencing. E.g. Lexilogos (French) what is the Helsinki slang word for fish? But its also an interesting paper. (Almost all of the southern aspirating area has undergone the High German Consonant Shift, i.e. As a matter of fact, part of my caution regarding constructs like Niger-Kordofanian comes about because I think that the morphological evidence even in Volta-Congo is really much weaker than Greenberg and his epigones imagined. dic.academic.ru (Russian dictionary search) . Glottolog does not accept that the inclusion or even unity of Omotic has been established, nor that of Ongota or the unclassified Kujarge. However, from the perspective of expected word-order co-occurrences, these word-order arrangements are not independent traits, but reflect the diffusion of a single complex feature, the overall SOV word-order type with its tendency for the various expected coordinated orderings in typologically interrelated constructions to co-occur. Ascertaining Bantu or Semitic vocabulary Finding the origins of common words between Proto-Semitic languages and Bantu languages has now become increasingly difficult to ascertain as may be seen by the examples below. Compare already the English examples: e.g. Or at least the first that has a name. This is pretty certainly a valid grouping, based on common developments in the verb system and a radical and by-no-means-natural change in the inherited tone system shared by all three of those Oti-Volta branches. With the statement you quote there, I am in total agreement. As you say, theres new high-quality data coming in a lot these days, as well; this is not the least of the things that makes a fresh look at comparative Oti-Volta work both possible and fruitful, too (though thats a whole lot less challenging than Eastern Sudanic.). He may be unconsciously influenced despite himself by Dark Continent toshery. His PIE reconstruction looks rather exotic compared to the usual ones; his basic thesis is that a lot of what the IE languages have in common (like a Nominative Accusative based syntax) developed in parallel developments in the individual branches after the split, with the peculiarities of Anatolian not being due to an early split-off, but more to a peripheral position in a dialect continuum (if I understand him correctly.). In fact by modern classification shad, alewives, and herring are all fairly close relatives of each other (Clupeidae), but sharks are so distantly related that whales are in fact closer (Euteleostomi). Most salmon are anadromous , spending most of their time in the ocean but breeding on land. * Of course, they might be related. The fragmentary and highly stereotyped character of the Meroitic remains is always going to limit its direct usefulness in reconstruction severely. /org/, Komi /eri/ ~ /erig/, without any standard etymology though I saw a proposal some years back to compare this with the also otherwise unetymologized Hungarian sgr perch. Ramage It looks conservative, matching all those nineteenth-century preconceptions about complex morphology being older. Basal is simply not an objective term; it really means nothing more than farthest from the taxon of current interest. That does not mean that Rodger C.s teacher wasnt crudely oversimplifying the matter. The authors are different (they write Taforalt but Kelif al Boroud). Also in the middle of the nineteenth century, we get the appearance of the technical sense: Physical Geography (originally U.S.). Think Altaic, not Indo-European. Otherwise, Id think wed see instead of Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan the diversity that we see in the click languages. So, while fish in their wild state were all different kinds of kud, the activities that transformed fish into culturally significant products were a little more fine-grained in their taxonomy. Multitran If you trust the grammars, the Chilean case is supposed to be the same, and its only the distinctive phonology that causes it to be realised as [al(a)i(h)] (habli, habl). Also, lack of change in body shape is a surprisingly poor predictor of lack of molecular change. From which it follows that the Germanic languages originated in the North Sea. For pescado it has sense 1: Mx, Gu, Ho, ES, Ni, Pa, Cu, PR, Co, Ve, Ec, Pe, Bo, Py. I though aha! and apparently ! *kala has also been considered related to IE words for big fish like whale and Latin squalus. For one thing, my wife is besotted with her even though she bites (and apparently this is not a matter of the cats displeasure, but of a reflex of some kind well are cats named snakes with fur and feet); for another, I have lived my whole life commensally with cats and simply cant imagine doing otherwise. Having been to SOAS, I feel confident in saying that Erythraic has long since been abandoned there as elsewhere. Well, no, he is calculating (I did not check the arithmetic) the odds of a genetic relationship, just the odds of words for brother and sister to be so close (which is not the same). In the domain of syntax, children typically gain command of simple clause structure in their language between ages 2 to 3years. @PlasticPaddy: that looks like a great addition to the previous thread on fish terms and sex trade jargons. (A.E. I guess its easier when you can reconstruct morphological correspondences to go with your lexical ones. 1. But I thought that 19th centiury preconceptions were like this: that primitive languages have simpler morphology. Certainly, the total available biomass of salt-water fish is much greater. *) and I started from Greek but didnt/havent advanced far. Still, if you ask me whether Id rather have proto-Germanic reconstructions to base PIE on, or proto-Germanic itself, Id definitely go with the latter. Sociolinguistics also recognizes shift to prestige dialects (with an assumption that prestige reflects preferences), then there are registers. For example, children do not need to learn that there are two main kinds of sound segments, consonants and vowels; that propositions distinguish between predicates and arguments; or that there are intransitive and transitive clauses, with one-, two-, or three-place predicates. I was wondering if introduction of horses to the Plains Indian society could serve as a model for Savanna Pastoral Neolithic. wood s lot But surely the example of Sino-Tibetan proves that its not required. Its not a hen.. 2) what is the English cognate of Stachel/stekel? That was deliberate. The bit of apian anatomy responsible was called a stinger in Texas, I maybe remember. An interesting feature of this Old South Arabian script is that the order of its letters departs from that of Phoenician and the consonantal script of Ugarit. It would be interesting to see how much of the expansion of AA can be accounted for as purely pastoralist, though. How did that even get into their collection? Present status of many groups is uncertain, and you can never prove absence of a link anyway. This is Very True Indeed. So does his fathers, but his mothers first name looks Norwegian. Deyr f, leads to a different tree. Obviously, the bit about the spread of Semitic languages is of prime LH interest; heres a relevant snippet: In addition to the local ancestry from Epipaleolithic/Neolithic people, we found an ancestry related to ancient Iranians that is ubiquitous today in all Middle Easterners (orange component in Figure 1B; Table 1). So treating the Volta-Congo noun class systems as morphological evidence for cognacy on the same sort of level as Indo-European declension is actually a significant methodological error. @Lameen, yes, an unfortunate formulation (historical linguistics), but I see what he means. These nominal classifications make themselves felt primarily in agreement systems as expressed on: determiners, adjectives, subject and object marking on verbs. The Starostin paper is interesting for the methodological issues, quite apart from the specific Nubian thing. The trees are rather trivially repeatable: given the same data, the same method and the same settings (which you really ought to publish), you will get the same trees. ), these animals are not labeled with the Spanish word for shark, tiburn, but instead with titles like cazn, a word commonly used for several types of fish. Biol. etymologiebank.nl (Dutch etymology) I think what is more interesting is the idea that African modernity may in fact have been shaped in large part by three or maybe at most a handful of such demic events, those that gave rise to the language groups that seem to have swamped the pre-existing linguistic diversity AA, Niger-Congo, and whatever one makes of Nilo-Saharan. This paper says lets reconstruct iundividual families first. The speakers of Boulba nearly all also speak Byali and Waama. The morphological evidence boils down to two things: the noun class system, and the verbal extensions.. auch awwal neferayn baythallu biar bayst in the old days two men would buy [a days] fish for ten baysa; ferner in Bahrayn hl dried fsh (HOL-2), der noch REI 94 hle Suppe = (fish) soup dazu anfhrt. He tentatively excludes Chabu from Nilo-Saharan as an isolate and accepts Kadu. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-paddlefish-from-the-lower-Danube-River-of-Serbia-delivered-to-the-University-of_fig1_230691009, https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-somerset-15122405. @lars Its a heated overstatement about the authors perceived opponents. It seems that instead, something advantaged Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan. Wiesbaden: Reichert], I cant find it. I thought it was more like Arab raiders in Africa or Viking raiders in some places: burn a village, steal some women and slaves, come back in a few years and do it again. If theres no comparable morphology, things get harder. *, (Though Mande is by no means the only group in contention when it comes to the limits of the Niger-Congo phylum, of course, and is probably the least likely to ever turn out to be demonstrably related to Volta-Congo of all Greenbergs major candidates.). The Geez and Ugaritic dates match, as does that of the misattributed Aramaic. I checked Rabin, their quoted source (Lexicostatistics and the internal divisions of Semitic, in Bynon and Bynons Hamito-Semitica, 1975, doi: 10.1515/9783111356167.85). By contrast in Uralic *kala is highly stable, lost only in Permic and, if were counting, Helsinki slang. Or wouldnt you as the author want to do so, and then correct mistakes that have shown up? Conceivably, its related to sn /s/ sew, though the actual word for needle is furipiim clothes-arrow., (There are a handful of agent-noun-like deverbal nouns made with -m, like zm refugee, fugitive from z run, though the regular formant for agent nouns is the suffix -d.). Now I look at it, Moor ygempende hedgehog is segmentally identical to camel belly; however, the tones are wrong, which in these languages is as big an issue as the vowels or consonants being wrong. In this regard, also compare the side-by-side existence of Spanish pez fish (as a animal) and pescado caught fish, fish (considered as food), where we might see the sort of situation that existed in Brittonic when the inherited Brittonic word (still in the River Usk, probably) was pushed out by the loanword from Latin pisctus. Who is claiming this? It is actually by no means clear that even Eastern Sudanic is a real entity at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Sudanic_languages. The Bantu languages (English: /bntu/, Proto-Bantu: *bant) are a large family of languages spoken by the Bantu peoples of Central, Southern, and Southeast Africa. Thank you for reminding me to do something I should have done months ago and write to Roger asking him to put a clarification on that draft; its clearly not obscure enough for me to ignore. Maybe Ill become a specialist in Eastern Sudanic! I meant ghoty, yes, * laughter:( I doubt whether Kitchen et al* even know why real historical linguists think that shared innovations matter. And spoke me so, and spoke me thus: Oh, dallyings a sad mistake; I dont believe that until somebody tries. For this to be rigorous, as opposed to a mere question of aesthetic preferences (not to be discounted, but still), youd presumably need to demonstrate some common non-trivial innovations uniting Anatolian with some other part(s) of Indo-European but not others. 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. The case with Nilo-Saharan is even more stark. Russian literature online En este ro ya no hay peces There are no longer any [live] fish in this river. But the chief practical consequence of this principle is rarely recognized or, if recognized, tends to be worked around rather than confronted and directly dealt with [.] Googling an issue raised in the paper, the probably spurious Oropom language, I wound up with a reference to a paper by Lameen. @ Lameen, yes, an unfortunate formulation ( historical linguistics ) but...
