bantu semitic language

(This, too, could add to the apathy Spanish consumers feel for sharks, Garca Salinas theorizes; in a market, 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. But isnt a significant difference between biology and linguistics the fact that its easier to define, more meaningful to determine, basal lineages, because the feedback loop within a given niche enforces some degree of consistency over time. 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? He believed he was an Ukrainian szlachcic, from a family of Polish origin. It seems that instead, something advantaged Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan. And anyone who thinks they need to proclaim banalities like these to the satirist Dorothy Parker is in the same situation. I wonder if the errors are just in the published paper or were actually in the study itself. the migration of the main core of Semites up the Nile River. Ethiopian, First Language Acquisition: Cross-linguistic, ). The method that the adapters employed in turning the Egyptian script to their own use was dubbed the acrophonic principle by the British Egyptologist Sir Alan Gardiner. Moreover, Oti-Volta shows clear evidence of, for example, new classes being created rather than inherited, and of entire semantic groups of nouns being transferred from one class to another diachronically. split of Amniota is into the ancestors of mammals and those of lizards/snakes + tuatara + turtles + crocs + birds. Or appalling. Too bad theres not more to them than a collection of names and titles of their relatives. My knowledge of either would be limited to the barest understanding of Hebrew grammar. (For my most recent thoughts in that direction, watch my NSLC 2021 presentation.) Monier-Williams Sanskrit Dictionary Thai: (bplaa), (miin). ), I was just looking at William Samarins grammar of Gbeya (an Adamawa language of the CAR, but you all knew that) to see what the word for fish looked like (its zoro, which is pretty meh, really) and noticed in passing that steal in Gbeya is zu (= Kusaal zu) and head is zu (= Kusaal zug, stem zu-.) 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 I do not know how large were those vocabularies and whether he chose 165 most basic words out of 1000 or 165 out of 165. downweighting such characters or simply counting the whole complex as a single character. (As it happens, some Oti-Volta languages are currently doing the opposite, developing class prefixes from articles as the original suffixes are eroded by phonological changes, so such things are not impossible in principle. This could leave a relatively random loss-or-retention pattern across daughters, even when there is no major morphology-driven replacement going on. [Old Church Slavic dictionary] Could this Iranian genetic component be connected to hypothetical metallurgists spreading their technical vocabulary across the fertile crescent? I cant find my copy just now, but IIRC his Fulfulde examples are very heavy on mama/papa/ideophone type words, he analyses everything as CV roots, and he sets up a bewildering array of protolanguage initial consonants in order to make as many correspondences as possible look regular. 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. Real Academia dictionary (Spanish) Strong Language (a sweary blog about swearing), Language resources: 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. He tentatively excludes Chabu from Nilo-Saharan as an isolate and accepts Kadu. and the Chinese paddlefish seems to be extinct because of the Three Gorges dam. Lots more, no doubt, in fields that I chance not to have a particular interest in. How do the biological mathematical models cope with widespread lateral transmission of genetic information (a well-known thing in bacteria, after all, though presumably not quite as pervasive as the analogue with languages, where it is the rule rather than the exception)? I do hope it would give the actual division into Scandinavian vs. English-plus-German, but I have no idea how it would actually work out. I also have great sympathy for those who want to use the spelling auroch, since the singular aurochs still just looks wrong to me. 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 ). 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. * The author of all three works is a Uralicist, though, so his choice of PU reconstructions is likely to be much better than those of almost anyone who has tried to work on Indo-Uralic before. If groups like NES are real, one is talking about far more remote relationships than within Indo-European. links to new posts here as they appear. Brett, good call. level of conclusive statistical significance (in the same paper). Id prefer if hed also given a column to Old Nubian. It does seems weird to cite the westernmost specimen as if thats relevant. They call it the minimum of cognates and offer another 28 possible cognates. He makes a goodish case for lexicostatistics having some value if kept firmly under control. Of course, derivation and inflexion are creative, genitive or dative depend on what I mean, but it is I who decides what I mean and no one else (it is just that speakers creativity in these areas is recognized by grammar descriptions rather than goes against them:)). Since, however, the languages in question are spoken in a virtually continuous belt from the Atlantic Ocean to the Persian Gulf, to single out the Red Sea region in this way is a bit too narrowly focussed. https://www.academia.edu/5204683/Why_is_Africa_so_linguistically_undiverse_Exploring_substrates_and_isolates. A de facto group of distinct language varieties within the Semitic branch, the languages that evolved from Proto-Arabic have around 313 million native speakers, concentrated primarily in the Middle East and North Africa. Figure 5. I only read enough of it to understand that the math *could* show what he said it did, without actually checking it. Separately, the comments about the sizes of fish around the world set me thinking. Full text in HTML is also available. Clickable IPA chart (by Weston Ruter) dubina a club (dub an oak). For example, Yom and Nawdm have always been grouped together, and this seems valid based on shared morphology and distinctive Yom-Nawdm vocabulary (unfortunately though there are very good accessible materials for Nawdm, this is not so for Yom, so I cant be as sure of this as I would like.) The teacher mentioned dual, plural, collective and singulative and said that it is technically possible to make combinations. Hes got lots of papers on academia.edu if you can bear all the spam that results from merely brushing past the site. Here you go (retyped by hand, so Ive used some abbreviations not in the original), from section 7.7 of Transactions of the Philological Society 100 (2002) p. 110ff,, the original Fuluffyan paper: We attempted to find the internal subgrouping of the WGmc family. If a percentage of the 50 was a slender reed, some of the 20 is a blade of grass. This was before the Day of the Trawler. Primarily the method of shared innovations. seems greatly at variance with the actual syllabic structure of any of the languages in question. Are salmon a freshwater or a saltwater fish? Everything is the way it is because it got that way. Overall progression thus involves an evolution in construction types. So maybe not. We are speaking about scales of millenia. Dick & Garlick It would perhaps be right to say that his views are conservative except where they contradict his own data. The Aramaic script gave rise to the writing system of Syriac (c.first century AD, and late enough to be influenced by the Greek alphabet) and, through the particular Aramaic script used by the Arab Nabateans, to the Arabic writing system (c.fourth century AD). I do not know which of these two they meant when they began using the compound. Actually, one famous case of exactly the phenomenon you describe has just occurred to me: the astonishing, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Wright_(linguist). While Im at it, this conference handout from 2016 (in English) compares PIE accent & ablaut categories to PU second-syllable vowels, which looks pretty neat and becomes even more convincing if you side with those that reconstruct the less open one of the only two PU second-syllable vowels as [] instead of the traditional [i] or the classical []. Amsterdam/Philadelphia: John Benjamins. Thats merely an argument against exclusively using lexical data. Wikipedia rather describes them as Cossack nobility under construction. It eases my conscience a bit about my dabbling with Swadesh lists in Oti-Volta, where Ive seen fit to discard inconvenient outcomes when they seem grossly at variance with better evidence for subgrouping, but snuck in lexicostatistics as a help to estimating the relative length of the various branches (as opposed to defining the branching in the first place.) Meinhofs model was widely supported in the 1940s. Anyway: textbooks claim that Mande is N-K, Wikipedia does, this paper does NOT say it. A flat area of silt or sand, free of vegetation and usually characterized by salt deposits, that lies at the bottom of a desert basin and is dry except after rain. Or at least the first that has a name. And then you could also look at the second-person subject pronoun su merced (singular) ~ sus mercedes (plural), still used in southern Colombia and northern Ecuador. Whatever the truth of that, tilting with Chabu and Kadu is his effort to take these issues head on, attacking the proposed isolates himself. Anyway, grammar is not quite the same as lexicon. London: Oxford University Press. 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. Guided by the PCA, we began by using three groups of individualspresent-day Dinka (28), ancient Chalcolithic-period individuals from Israel (25), and the~4500 B.P. Thats exactly why I talked of his strengths (which are many) in my comment. ), For the Blench paper in question, see The westward wanderings of Cushitic pastoralists. And experiential factors of frequency of use in the everyday colloquial speech that constitutes the linguistic input and output of young children explain why certain grammatical categories are acquired relatively late in languages where they constitute high-register or literate constructions. Linguistically, I think thats where Basque, Minoan and in situ Hattic come from. A ukud abak fished in the saltwater sea, while a ukud a dugak fished in rivers and lakes. And I dont think his mud forms support it (even if he can explain the vowel changes.). But each article is heavily footnoted, so you can test their assertions easily. porpoise (Meerschwein. The Migration Period vandalized It therefore splits off the following groups as small families: South Omotic, Mao, Dizoid, GongaGimojan (North Omotic apart from the preceding), Ongota, Kujarge. There are so many fundamental things wrong with this reasoning that one hardly knows where to begin. If someone feels that they are very likely and offers a wager of 10 barrels of guinness to 1, it is her guinness. Gldemann, Tom 2011. 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. Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales 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. was evidently oversimplifying the matter, but not crudely. Plenty of sea (and fish) around Wales/Brythonic territory, so presumably there was a pre-Roman word for it. Jewish Lexicon Project whereas fresh-water fishing is often limited to angling. (Hittite mediopassive -ri seems to be actually droppable, come to that.). we used the qpAdm software(35,36), which provides a flexible framework for testing admixture models and estimating mixture proportions. AA substrate vs. Paleohispanic (as we now know, the Basque are newcomers) The were fighting and then some idiot invited Celts, and Celts wrote back to Hallstatt that the land is rich and people are weak. first century AD, and late enough to be influenced by the Greek alphabet) and, through the particular Aramaic script used by the Arab Nabateans, to the Arabic writing system (ca. The earliest reference there is to a sexalingual dictionary of Poletika a translation of John Rays trilingual nomenclator classicus (he added Russian, French and German glosses to English, greek and Latin). He claims that the principal splitters dont actually engage with the details of the languages theyre disaggregating. (Lameen), But hes not any kind of iconoclast, and his go-and-see-for-myself method, while wholly admirable and enviable, doesnt help when the higher-level classifications have themselves been based on inadequate data and/or inadequate reasoning, because he essentially takes the higher-level framework as given, and sorted out already. The view on phylogeny expressed in Gldemann 2008 is subordinate to his purpose: the area constituted by certain features should display a considerable amount of internal genealogical diversity, so he says Kordofanian, Mande, Atlantic, Dogon, and Ijoid are not recognized as established members (which does not imply that none of them will turn out to be a valid member in the future). Aridification of Arabia 6 kya in the paper quoted in the original post intrigued me. 1. Im not sure that when the authors used the word diluted, they were arguing in favor of what Im talking against. Proto-Oti-Volta seems to have had contrastive vowel nasalisation, though most nasal vowels in the modern languages reflect lost nasal consonants, e.g. I am not familliar with such usage in Russian but the old texts that I read did not deal with boars, and the one that did uses vepr for a boar and koni diki for horses wild. Sino-Tibetan, or Trans-Himalayan to avoid the implication that Sinitic vs. Tibeto-Burman is the basal split, spans the whole typological range. What regulates population of people who live along rivers and sea coasts? 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. Which, yknow, isnt that bad; compare Uralic & Altaic. In most of human history though, the draw of oceanic coasts that they have over freshwater environments has not been fishing, but seal and seabird hunting. Theyre an Israelite ethnic group, like we are. But whereas Jews are from the Judean desert area and its surroundings, Samaritans are from the moun Quite the opposite. This pattern contrasts sharply with the one reported for the more typically studied English-speaking agrammatic aphasics, whose frequent omission of inflections results in the production of lexically well-formed bare stems (e.g., flower instead of flowers, or walk instead of walked). Ah. 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. General view of Early Bronze Age Tomb 1, an elite tomb with multiple burials. Sapirs Language is even olderer, but more fun. I again ask, in pre-state settings with limited trade goods, how would linguistic uniformity across broad areas arise, except through significant population replacement. But I would point out that he also disbelieves in Penutian, and that means his respect for the communis opinio extends to both the positive and negative polarities. As Ive said before, Im always surprised by Gerrit Dimmendaals acceptance of Nilo-Saharan as a genetic unity, when he shows a (very sensible, in my view) caution with other overhasty Greenbergian constructions like Niger-Congo and Khoisan. Both the workshops, filled with quantities of tin, obsidian, lapis lazuli, etc., and the texts document Ebla's control of major trade routes. However, I realize I have no clear idea what to expect for how body sizes should vary among fish. but for some reason dikobraz just didnt sound like a porcupine. In my own pet area, Oti-Volta, it is notable that there is a sharp drop in language diversity as you go from East to West, which looks very likely to be connected with the rise and expansion of the Mossi-Dagomba states and their very closely related Western Oti-Volta languages over the past six or seven centuries. The Proto-Oti-Volta word for fish was (probably) *amf, plural *ami (cf Gulmancma jm, plural jm) which, neatly enough, probably shows a singulative-as-singular; in Western Oti-Volta, the umlaut caused by the plural suffix -i has been introduced into the singular, as often: Toende Kusaal zif, plural zmi. There is the much less productive Old Irish -ne. 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. Vasmers etymological dictionary(Russian) Erythraic elements and patternings: Some East African findings. I mean, at least in the southern part of Russia a hedgehog is an animal you find in your own garden. (Hausa has borrowed two; Thai has borrowed one through ten.). Were deep in the era of phylogenomics, where not necessarily the whole genome (some of the junk is useless at best), but easily hundreds of genes are used, rRNA being just one of them (well, four, IIRC one for each of the two subunits mitochondrial and cytoplasmatic but the classic rRNA trees used just the large cytoplasmatic subunit, I think). 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. 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. Lateral gene transfer should have exactly the same confounding effects as convergence or as linguistic borrowing. He also added (and sub-classified) the Chadic languages, and proposed the new name Afroasiatic for the family. Blench (1999d). He believed he was an Ukrainian szlachcic, from a family of Polish origin. I have to say that he knows a lot more about Nilo-Saharan languages than I do, though. The caliciform culture, mass-produced corrugated cups and bowls, links sites across the region, including the southern Levant (EB IV). Much of the detail of his comparative stuff is obsolete now (it dates from long before Indo-European linguistics was upended by the decipherment of Hittite, for example) but its still a good illustration of how proper comparative linguistics works. Contrary to the common misconception that the Ancient Egyptian spoke a semitic language, the root language of ancient Hebrew is Bantu languages. I was not joking. The Omotic language branch is the most controversial member of Afroasiatic because the grammatical formations to which most linguists have given the greatest weight in classifying languages in the family are either absent or distinctly wobbly (Hayward 1995). He studied in Kiev and worked in SPb. Minority Languages of Russia Cf. I am not sure. And no outflow in the relevant time periods. For example, the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol resembling waves of water and used in the Egyptian system as a monoconsonantal symbol with the value /n/was assigned the value /m/ in the Proto-Sinaitic script, as the word for water in the West Semitic language of that script began with /m/. Her exact location depend on your sample or when you have sampled all people, it depends on the moment when you ask about her location. This reminds me of the large number of metallurgical and agricultural words in Sumerian and Akkadian that are loan words from unknown origins. 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. >> Maybe Ill become a specialist in Eastern Sudanic! The international sense relates to a group of over 300 widely distributed and closely related languages of Black Africa south of a I think it was Militarev who decided that the two phyla were related because of the (evident and entirely real) similarities between Songhay and Mande. 1000 AD apparently did not fish at all, but hunted seals and whales. 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). i think theres no reason to expect fish-words to move inland unless theres no significant relationship to river & lake fish among the inland people (or, i suppose, if theres a coastal fishery that commercially overwhelms inland fisheries, across a language divide). Likely it indeed means image here, but technically ob- is about, around and -raz- is hit, strike, pound (could the meaning come from imprint/impression? Thanks. deyr sjalfr it sama . https://mathildasanthropologyblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/rspb20090408.pdf, The field of Semitic linguistics has generally coalesced around a model that places the ancient Mesopotamian language Akkadian as the most basal lineage of Semitic, Nope. The former was spoken millenia before the later and hardly in the same place. This could leave a relatively random loss-or-retention pattern across daughters, even when there is no major morphology-driven replacement going on. You can stratify vocabulary by the likelihood of borrowing; moreover, you may be able to distinguish borrowed words from inherited on phonological grounds (this works for English to some extent; the poster child for it is Rotuman.). It breaks down rapidly if treated as an actual fact. Vendemos una gran variedad de pescados We sell many kinds of fish (the implication is that they are dead, hence sold as a food) versus Vendemos una gran variedad de peces We sell many kinds of [live] fish (for aquariums, fishbowls, and the like). : That could be wholly unrelated to what I call a blunder; Ill need to check. When some people in your ethnic confederation, like the Khazar Khaganate or the Siberian Khanate, say kala, and some say balk, thats a kalabalik (kalabaliikki). Perhaps the Berbers are the descendants of the stubborn. In fact it strikes me as typologically extremely weird. 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. Bozzones law: in Greek, *hj > h, *hi > hi. Figure 1 is a schematic model of lumpers and splitters Bouba and Kiki! : In the south of the Arabian peninsula a distinct consonantal script had appeared by at least the sixth century BC, and certainly had begun to develop several hundred years earlier. Oh dear. Basic word order emerges very early indeed, first between phrasal constituents, only later within phrases. The Aramaic script gave rise to the writing system of Syriac (ca. 195 0 obj <>stream etymologiebank.nl (Dutch etymology) Fischerei, Du. https://www.academia.edu/41113915/Chabu_and_Kadu_two_orphan_branches_of_Nilo_Saharan. Good to have confirmation of Early European Farmer ancestry in the Maghreb. @Roger C. Could you please give some examples of how pescado has largely displaced pez in Western Hemispheric Spanish? -in- is either less common, To make life even more complicated, the Moor ygempende hedgehog has a variant zgempende (the second element is presumably pende lower abdomen, cognate with Kusaal pn vagina.) It confirms at least that the -d- of Kusaal yugudir hedgehog is some sort of derivational suffix, but that is actually clear in any case from the general principles governing Kusaal noun stem formation. In 1912, Carl Meinhof published Die Sprachen der Hamiten (The Languages of the Hamites), in which he expanded Lepsiuss model, adding the Fula, Maasai, Bari, Nandi, Sandawe and Hadza languages to the Hamitic group.

Derek Elderkin. Then theres an interesting idea I once saw somewhere on academia.edu, that Proto-Semitic was spoken in the Rub al-Khali before it dried out, and East Semitic spread north while West Semitic spread in a semicircle along the coast of Arabia Feminine/masculine of diminution as in Lopit is the same (I think we also need a language where augmentation rather than diminuation is widespread and marked, for collection). In the 19th century, Europeans also began suggesting such relationships. The Adamawa language Samba Leko, for example, has only about half a dozen nouns that inflect for number at all (e.g. No idea about Kusaal digi though. Learn more. It doesnt at all mean that he is devoid of judgment altogether: far from it. 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.
