bantu semitic language

I have actually seen that second Melchert paper paper before, though Id forgotten most of it. The continual renovation of words for fish is really interesting! Digital Dictionaries of South Asia The total number of languages in this family ranges in the hundreds. for someone interested, a reconstruction might come easier if they had internalized two distantly related languages at an early age. 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? The amount of homoplasy (the cover term that also includes reversals, i.e. As problems with simple tree models multiplied, historical linguists were increasingly burdened with ever more complex graphic representations of their ideas. Cliente de prostituta. three verbs that might have meant to go, three to leave, two to hit, two to cut and two to tie. So far none of these (geographically) Iranian languages look anything like Semitic. For one thing, he loves to declassify langauges:)). Or best case scenario he lost a bet with an Argentine friend and was forced to install that background till the Cup is won. The Dakota (Sioux) came from further east, driven partly by the Chippewa (Anishanabe), who had better access to firearms during a key period. Nuer does (both mono- and diphthongs); perhaps he went mad from the revelation. Also regional German zocken gamble, esp. Sanskrit: mna (from Dravidian) 1. In their spontaneous speech, as well as in sentence repetition and reading aloud, subjects resorted to substitutions and never produced nonwords. 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. I wonder if there is an archaic word for fish found somewhere in Korean that represents what was replaced by mulgogi. r jach nw pa idhre reyse til norrebutn paa idherth fiskrij FM 267 ( 1505 ) . 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. Languages online Now, Proto-Albanian was almost certainly spoken inland in the Balkans, and not along the Adriatic, which at the time of the fall of the Roman Empire seems to have been Romance-speaking. He used words from Boas comparative Salish vocabularies. We explored whether this ancestry penetrated both the Levant and Arabia at the same time and found that admixture dates mostly followed a North to South cline, with the oldest admixture occurring in the Levant region between 3,300 and 5,900 ya (Table S2), followed by admixture in Arabia (2,0003,500 ya) and East Africa (2,1003,300 ya). I think he has a bit of a stare decisis thing going on: hes happy to apply his judgment in cases where hes collected new data himself, but leery of revisiting classification decisions made by others in the past, in areas where he lacks actual first-hand data. Thanks, looks good. (Overly phonetic features have occurred in other writing systems; Im thinking of kappa/qoppa in early Greek, or C/K/Q in early Latin.) The Bantu language family. On Latin piscem becoming the word for fish in Proto-Brythonic (as per AntCs question upthread): Interestingly, Albanian peshk is the basic word for fish and is also a Latin loanword. The main thing that seems to come out of that is that Eastern Oti-Volta is not at all parallel to Western Oti-Volta, but really on the same sort of level as the grouping you could make by putting WOV, Yom/Nawdm and Buli/Konni together as one branch, and that actually does seem to match pretty well with morphological and phonological evidence for subclassification too. Mampruli yugumpiinni hedgehog has a second component which looks like it either is, or has been remodelled on, piimni arrow, which at least makes some sort of sense. My distinguished source was the wiki for aurochs. Lapis Lazuli wild goat ornament found with female skeletons in upper layer of Early Bronze Age Tomb 1. It does seems weird to cite the westernmost specimen as if thats relevant. was evidently oversimplifying the matter, but not crudely. The word for horse cant be reconstructed for Proto-Oti-Volta, though it can for Proto-Western. Indeed, thats why the papers Blench is complaining about immediately went on to try to date and locate PIE. You could just bang ahead with a mindless one-size-fits-all algorithm and hope that all the errors will cancel each other out, of course but realistically, lexicostatistics cant really tell you anything if you dont nearly know the answer already. Proto-Oti-Volta seems to have had contrastive vowel nasalisation, though most nasal vowels in the modern languages reflect lost nasal consonants, e.g. During the early second millennium BC, a Semitic people living and laboring in Egypt developed a script for their own language by exploiting a single component of the Egyptian writing system. I was also interested that Rilly mentioned doing continuing fieldwork on two Nubian languagesgenerating some of that influx of new data. It is not up to splitters to prove a negative. Jan Freemans Boston Globe column It is in the dictionary of XVIII century. He divides Omotic into two branches, North Omotic and South Omotic. The overall progression is thus much as Brown (1973) defined for English: from single words to early word combinations, thence to simple clause structure, followed by a range of devices for clause linkage. fish, i.e., PIE *hduH- > Pre-Gk. All this is, of course, exactly why careful study of areal and contact phenomena is not in opposition to comparative work, but an essential part of it. 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. There is no consensus among historical linguists concerning the original homeland of the Afroasiatic family, or the period when the parent language (i.e. 1975. At Nabta Playa it was initially cows, later on also goats, in a semidesert environment probably incapable of supporting wild cattle, with some evidence for seasonal transhumance; a short intro: http://www.kar.zcu.cz/studium/materialy/egy/texty-pro-studenty-2012/NabtaPlaya.pdf. >Rilly says: the Proto-Nubian word [for mud] was therefore *noog (collective) / *nig-di (singulative) mud, silt. Even home pages of Russian girls in 2000 are better. It may be that the southern peoples (Pueblo Indians) were geographically defensible enough to survive, but they werent wealthy. Both m-words are from Sanscrit, mnamu also means Pisces. The haplogroup common in Natufians, E1b1b, is also frequent in our dataset, with most lineages coalescing 8.3 (79.7) kya, though we also found a rare deeply divergent Y chromosome, which coalesces 39 kya (Figure S2). I would be happy to be proved wrong, however. ), 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. Lately, scholars seeking the mechanisms for secondary state formation have focused on local trajectories distinct from the Mesopotamian model, a case in point being the dry-farming region of the Jezireh. yD?s"[-;ra*M]Eg{U= And the most elaborate modern attempt at reconstruction for a part of Oti-Volta is Coffi Sambinis Le Proto-Oti-Volta-Oriental, which is much the most substantial thing in that field since Gabriel Manessy did his pioneering stuff way back in the 1970s before he got bored and went off to be a creolist. ScienceDirect is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. ScienceDirect is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. This needs to be qualified for a verb-final language like Turkish, where the unmarked means of clause linkage is by nonfinite, nominalized constructions. One of my main problems with AA-OOA is the question of how languages spread in pre-state societies with limited trade. 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. Omitting the vocalic base would result in unpronounceable nonwords, that is, forms that are both phonologically and morphologically illegal. leads to a different tree. 109-142. But Out of Natufian seems much more parsimonious at this point. Etymologisches Wrterbuch des Deutschen Constituent ordering is followed by grammatical marking of verb-argument relations, around the same time or somewhat before inflectional marking of grammatical agreement. Not so: morphology is not the sole evidence. Our IE database includes only two WGmc languages, OE and OHG, and they are at the extremes of the WGmc group. He knew of Semitic through his study of Arabic, Hebrew, and Aramaic. The article is part of an issue of Human Molecular Genetics surveying the genetics of Africa. Erythraic elements and patternings: Some East African findings. This actually reminds me of the Welsh dig angry, for which GPC does not hazard an etymology. How clever of you to know that! (Why the problem has not been enunciated more clearly and confronted systematically is also rather difficult to understand, but need not divert us here. For that matter, what is the Proto-Permic one? 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. Usually held to be a borrowing from Latin -rius; at the very least, it was probably influenced and reinforced by it. Character converter, Visual pleasures 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. Arabic, Hebrew), a word consists of a three-consonant root (e.g. Ethnologue There seems to be no doubt at all, nevertheless, that Goemai is Chadic. The quoted dictionary records this usage for everywhere outside the Southern Cone. I dont think anyone has seriously suggested that AA originated in NW Africa; Berber certainly reflects an early expansion from the east. I was wondering if introduction of horses to the Plains Indian society could serve as a model for Savanna Pastoral Neolithic. There are styles they share. Kloekhorst, take the diverging meaning as confirmation for the view that Anatolian split off first, which seems reasonable to me. With respect to the relatively greater weight or importance attributed to some traits than to others for defining linguistic areas, the borrowed word-order patterns in the Ethiopian linguistic area provide an instructive example. E.g. A wise companion is Sorrow. Afroasiatic (Afro-Asiatic), also known as Afrasian or Hamito-Semitic, Semito-Hamitic, or Erythraean is a large language family of about 300 languages that are spoken predominantly in the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa and parts of the Sahel. [] However, [the taxon sample was small]. The values assigned to the phonetic characters of this earliest Semitic script characters of pictographic form were 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. Yes: this is a combination of whataboutery, a remarkable misrepresentation of the actual activities of some notorious splitters, and (worst of all) a surprising failure to grasp the relevance of demonstrating contact phenomena and mapping typology when it comes to avoiding mistaken conclusions about genetic relationships. Old English/Old High German r, Old Norse r). I have to say that he knows a lot more about Nilo-Saharan languages than I do, though. If not, how do those relevantly differ from language? Whats happened here is that the textbooks simply take Manessys classification as a given. Contamination from *du- Word Routes Bantu people I find it difficult to understand what, if it was not some of the developments of the past 8-10 millennia that created powerful new forces of demic replacement. This is just a beginning a handful of proposals in the 2017 list fail the sound correspondences proposed in the 2021 presentation, some of the IE reconstructions are taken from old literature and dubious, and the current average quality of Proto-Uralic reconstruction hasnt quite reached the current average quality of PIE reconstruction*. Yes, thanks. there was actually secondary stress in a long word). The noun classes of Bantu languages fall under this type as well, again with a very loose correlation with semantic categories. Vasmers etymological dictionary(Russian) In Melchert, Western Affinities of Anatolian. *kala has also been considered related to IE words for big fish like whale and Latin squalus. Im not misrepresenting Blench at all in this matter: simply describing exactly what he does (in two quite specific instances, moreover.) All these are scientific hypotheses. They mention no ghost population from the wet Sahara, though the modeling can find such ancestry if it exists. Avva (Russian) In these approaches, abstract representations emerge as secondary properties at best, and at worst, are absent entirely. But compare e.g. Like many have answered before, its a semitic language. If you are interested in linguistics, you should check a book of language families in your ), For the Blench paper in question, see The westward wanderings of Cushitic pastoralists. Typologically the orders Noun-Postposition, Verb-Auxiliary, and Relative Clause-Head Noun are all correlated and tend to co-occur with SOV order cross-linguistically. An odd thing about Swadesh lists (and broader lexical comparison) in Oti-Volta is that there is very noticeably more agreement among nouns than verbs. So Eden sank to grief, We do not have porcuines here, likely he was translating a book. Ethiopian, First Language Acquisition: Cross-linguistic, ). I knew he likened evolution in biology to evolution in linguistics, but he barely engaged in phylogenetics at all. The only classes that clearly do match (and in other Volta-Congo languages, too) are the human class (-a/-ba) in Kusaal, one very common non-human class (-re/-a in Kusaal) and the liquid class (-m in Kusaal.) In his font the characters are slightly distinct, but I dont know enough to tell which Unicode symbol, if any, is appropriate 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. Certainly, the total available biomass of salt-water fish is much greater. @PlasticPaddy: that looks like a great addition to the previous thread on fish terms and sex trade jargons. 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. And in the acquisition of the lexicon, again across languages, children move from a restricted vocabulary of nursery terms and over or underextensions of conventional items to a period of creative innovation; eventually the conventional lexicon takes over, while at the same time vocabulary growth is both constrained and elaborated by socially and culturally appropriate distinctions of register and usage, lasting into adolescence. PIE *VsrV > PGmc *VstrV, Even allowing that there are more isolates than the theorists of NC and NS believe, the pattern doesnt appear to be anything remotely like the fractal pattern we would expect over tens of thousands of years in the centrifugal setting of hunter-gatherer bands. is the paper I closest-to-remember that did it right. But it cannot be fixed by tinkering with the mathematics, because this isnt the problem in the first place Ruhlen-level stuff. I like how he speaks about 1 (I just like Blench. ), If youre feeling generous: I dont believe that until somebody tries. Everything is the way it is because it got that way. Stable enough that the living fish swims in water has been claimed to be mutually comprehensible between all Uralic languages. (List of 130 actual French-English cognates. deyr sjalfr it sama . by contact with Austronesian among others). 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. Changes in English took centuries. As shown by the unfortunate typos, this issue is not necessarily breathtakingly groundbreaking and worthy of Nature. Blench seems to know the right questions and go at them heartily. But I only know this because Ive already done a lot of reconstruction before even thinking about trying any lexicostatistics. slight reorganization of []) and does not require a hypothesized transitional lineage of []. And I (amateur, admittedly) am by no means the only person who is actively interested in comparative work who has grave doubts about Greenbergs huge phyla. >The really striking thing about the paper for me was how overwhelmingly Natufian the ancestry of Arabian Arabs is. (Corpus of the Russian Language) And I assume language arose with modern humans if not before, so certainly more than 70 kya. Caveat the study is focused on Kenyan and Tanzanian populations, rather than Chadic-speakers. 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. Its clear that the actual Proto-Volta-Congo form must have been *tm-. 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. 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 argument is that morhological reconstruction simply does not work for Mande. They were economically pretty marginal already and not a rich source of plunder. The assumption that cognacy based on inheritance can be reliably distinguished from borrowing among closely related languages. So: 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). It is absent from the dictionary of Russian langauge of XI-XVII centuries. Another commonality is the general development observed across children from rote-learning of unanalyzed items to partial productivity followed by command of structure-dependent rules and generalizations, which are subsequently constrained by conventions of lexical and discourse usage. 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. Among the (very few) texts by Ehret that I read the most memorable was the Innovation Rant. The be lying down example from Western Oti-Volta that I cited above contains a likely case of semantic usurpation: Moor ge could very well be the same etymon as the root of Kusaal gbnm /gb:m/ sleep; the reduction of the labiovelar stop to a velar in Moor is regular, as is the monophthongisation in Kusaal, the tones work, and the semantic shift seems believable enough. Subscribe now to receive periodic updates from the Center for Hebraic Thought. 4) why so many peoples called hedgehog by such a compound? Different points of departure underlie claims about universals in language acquisition. En la playa hubo muchos peces muertos There were many dead fish on the beach. Now youve got me reading Vydrin on Mande & Niger-Congo Toward a Proto-Mande reconstruction and an etymological dictionary (2016). Thats a fault known as Word Not In, or WNI: the use of a word in a definition that does not appear in the dictionary. However, in a situation where the traits do coincide at a clear boundary, rare though this may be, the definition of a linguistic area to match their boundaries is relatively secure. It is simply not necessary to distinguish them before making the dataset. It is a very basic animal. Marcel Cohen (1924) rejected the idea of a distinct Hamitic subgroup and included Hausa (a Chadic language) in his comparative Hamito-Semitic vocabulary. It looks like there is Omani usage that a European tends to translate as fish. * Development of a feminine gender and a major revamping of the verb system look pretty immodest to me but I know very little about this. Can derived words collapse too? Starting from the monosyllabic, isolating tonal languages of the Guinea coast as typical, Meinhof disregards, or is unaware of, the numerous languages of the Sudanese area which exhibit class prefixes or suffixes akin to those of Bantu. The latter are the weaker. Indeed, Ringe et al. From what we know of hunter-gatherer society, I would be completely unphased if today, we saw a patchwork of surviving languages A1147 and A1254; B2121 and B2131, C3454, C9720, no D, but E5157 and E5159. Several lower numerals in both Mande and Dogon look definitely related to Volta-Congo, but contrary to the assumptions of Indo-Europeanists and Semiticists, numbers are actually extremely borrowable. Die allgemeine Bedeutung Fisch fndet sich jedoch im Westen und im Sden der arabischen Halbinsel: .. (Even the most lexically-divergent pair of Oti-Volta languages* show comfortably more than 50% of clearcut matches on the Swadesh 100 list, the noun class systems are very obviously of a common origin, and the outlines, at least of the phonology of the protolanguage are fairly clear, though much remains to be done. A better understanding of languages like Meroitic, attested 2,000 years ago with hundreds of exemplars, but still barely intelligible to us, would seem imperative if were ever going to untangle these issues. Wiktionary says bosque is borrowed from Catalan or Occitan bosc, from Late Latin boscus or Vulgar Latin *buscus, from Frankish *busk, from Proto-Germanic *buskaz, cognate with English bush.. This is the region of greatest internal genetic diversity within all of Oti-Volta, but its also a Sprachbund, as is apparent from the happy accident that the Western Oti-Volta language Boulba has wandered into the area, and participated in almost (but not quite) all the phonological changes that Manessy thought were inherited common innovations demarcating his Eastern Oti-Volta grouping. WebBantu languages, a group of some 500 languages belonging to the Bantoid subgroup of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. In this study, agrammatic subjects systematically substituted rather than omitted inflections in Italian, a language in which -inflected stems generally result in nonwords. But you do come across things like pescado espada or pescado payaso. Within Volta-Congo, Bantu is quite a good illustration of the traps involved, as I ceaselessly reiterate. There is no consensus on the interrelationships of the five non-Omotic branches of Afroasiatic (see Subgrouping below). The resulting tree was pretty good, identifying English/Spanish as a subnode (probably because shared Latinisms) and Arabic as most distant from the rest (probably because AA + fewer English borrowings + lowest weight). Thats certainly an interesting paper about an interesting set of sites. All of those sound reasonable, or close to reasonable, at first glance, except Akkadian (for which I suspect that their sources probably reflect a far earlier state) and to a lesser extent Hebrew (for which I suspect that their sources probably reflect a somewhat later state). So he is hypothesising a change *gd -> d(d) (he does not explain the vowel change.)
