Amsterdam/Philadelphia: John Benjamins. It is just the first version, but I do not think he was interested in IE studies. I dont suppose there are any old *k > y changes in Kusaal? Of course this would predict being able to find some semantically divergent verb comparisons. Yes, I just figured thered be some intermarriage. Ha! Primarily the method of shared innovations. How much less amateur cognacy judgments. Because of this divergence, it has been hypothesized that there was a third domestication of cattle in Africa [32][36]. What he class hyper-rigorous is actually just what Indo-Europeanists, Uralicists, Algonquianists etc call rigorous: standard practice for real comparativists. Yes, thats what I meant: with such an abundance of, hedge, pike, spike, pin, spine, tine, brod, iron, sea urchin, hengehog and other But for the system to work you need mass/collective nouns. Typology on the basis of just two language families seems to me to continue to be a poor idea. Dikobraz seems like a good spiky word. This of course goes with their different position over against Bantu: the difference goes back, not to morphology but to a difference of word order. I just typed this postscriptum in a hurry. Character converter, Visual pleasures And the author who studied in Kiev still worked in Petersburg. The supposed ouster is limited to colloquial registers in all dialects Im familiar with. That is not currently testable, though. Clothing can be masculine or feminine depending on who is wearing it , In Turkana, masculine, feminine and neuter are generally fixed properties of nouns, again with no obvious motivation in the case of sexless referents, but masculine can mean bigger and neuter smaller, while feminine in the case of normally-masculine vegetable referents can mean dead., but feminine can replace masculine for bigger things Aha! Vasmers etymological dictionary(Russian) Merriam-Webster was very systematic about finding and eliminating WNIs. If you cant find a formal reason to not find two forms cognate, score them as cognate in your dataset. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3128r3sw. There is no comparable data set in linguistics. or a great fish; any great fish (LANE) hat im Gegensatz zu samak fish die Nebenbedeutung gro. Arak-29 (Armenian links) 3 correctly, but it looks as if theyre saying the (South Nilotic) Maasai are genetically basically half Eastern Sudanic and half Afro-Asiatic (if we approximate EN1 and EN2 with linguistic labels despite their being genetic categories) in contrast to the (Surmic) Mursi or (West Nilotic) Dinka, who are predominantly Eastern Sudanic. ", Well, lexically it's strikingly close to Berber, but orders of magnitude more diverse, and the inherited complex morphology seems to get restructured as you go south, so my guess would be 2; but it can only be a guess. American Heritage Dictionary https://www.academia.edu/41113915/Chabu_and_Kadu_two_orphan_branches_of_Nilo_Saharan. All comments are copyright their original posters. This Proto-Canaanite script is the immediate ancestor of the Phoenician script (appearing in the eleventh century BC), which is in turn the source of the ancient Hebrew (c.ninth century) and Aramaic (c.eighth century) writing systems (the Hebrew language began to be written with the Aramaic script during the sixth century BC, although the Samaritan sect continued to use the old Hebrew letters). He must have had a good reason to pick Amorite as representing West Semitic, but I cant find it. Could be similar to what happened to African hunter-gatherers when they saw cattle, sheep and goats for the first time. (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. To Khoisan he also added the Tanzanian Hadza and Sandawe, though this view has been discredited as linguists working on these languages consider them to be linguistic isolates. Dictionnaire de lAcadmie francaise Slovopedia (links to Russian dictionaries; sidebar has links to comparable pages for German, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Georgian, and Kazakh) Our tree has some major disagreements with the standard trees. For example, he (elsewhere) takes it for granted that its up to splitters to prove than Mande is not part of Niger-Congo, on the sole grounds (as far as I can see) that this relationship has been accepted by many people for a long time, without addressing how weak the evidence was from the beginning. Yes, its about all but three Uralic languages being threatened to various extents. Both sentences would imply that the speaker had dead fish in mind. lexical evidence is the main basis. In Modern English, out of 18 verbs in the 100 Swadesh list, two are Norse borrowings (die, kill), and one is a semantic usurpation (walk). Wordorigins It probably means that foxes are not everyday familiar animals to the Kusaasi, though. But they can be indistinguishable in your representation of data. But to put it more concretely in Rillys terms, Northern East Sudanic.) * And all this, within a single group of undoubtedly closely related languages. Y Geiriadur Mawr misleadingly glosses this math o bisgodyn mawr syn llamu or dr, mr-fochyn a kind of big fish [sic] which leaps out of the water, sea-pig, but doesnt actually define mr-fochyn sea-pig anywhere. If the maximalist claim has been made and is widely believed in, and we disagree with the maximalist formulation, he is right to call if hyper-[.] @lameen It should be noted that some of the Bantu languages (such as Swahili) are influenced by Arabic, which in turn is a Semitic language related to Hebrew. in Oti-Volta () there is very noticeably more agreement among nouns than verbs, just as nouns are more borrowable than verbs, it might well be the case that if vocabulary remains from a substratum, verbs might be more liable to survive than nouns. 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. In: Geographical typology and Linguistic areas. Can the qpAdm software(35,36), distinguish between these scenarios? The stupid thing with those families is that you can draw a picture and then people know: Hausa is an Afroasiatic language (thank to Meinhof) even if they dont know a word in it. @LH, so apparently you think that without morphology a genetic relationship cant be established. The general idea has been that for establishing a linguistic area, the more shared features, the better. prost. eLV1"R2223s44BakVCvK vB"LO$]06pQUHjepM 7Vyy-}qcNGBg8F5-gI{ bZjDYdm,4IN $0$wL*kN,FseWCJ+C$}n4n gT>i!|8KP=}Zw4)dm,|][ g+ siXr/ 2) what is the English cognate of Stachel/stekel?

No. You can still find textbooks that mention Ural-Altaic. Monier-Williams Sanskrit Dictionary Proto-Sinaitic is one particular form (the earliest by theinterpretation of an origin within Egypt) of a more broadly, if meagerly, attested consonantal script called Proto-Canaanite, found at several sites in SyriaPalestine. Historically, these actually are derived from three-mora sequences (Proto-WOV *n:ga hen), but synchronically they could be tidied away by regarding the final-mora prologation as a prosodic feature rather than a segment. @DE, wait, primitive peoples can use the same word as an adjective, noun and verb and can only express relations between words by (primitively) placing them in different positions in an utterance with respect to each other. This needs to be qualified for a verb-final language like Turkish, where the unmarked means of clause linkage is by nonfinite, nominalized constructions. Why did the editors themselves not pick up on this?). However, the great majority of the wonderful Bantu system cannot be matched outside the family (and to some extent, Bantoid.) There is no evidence for reconstructing most classes back even to Proto-Volta-Congo, with the exception of the two semantically most coherent classes (human and liquid) and one or perhaps two others. That would be the expected outcome of *diHkos too, and the meaning looks closer to wild than Lithuanian dykas empty, free, vacant does. It has been claimed that there is some kind of matchup between the 5 species and the various names, but I believe that the various names are just local and that the mapping is many-to-many. Perhaps he has no need and space to do that, he notes himself that the area remains diverse even if Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan both are families and related. This he takes to imply that the two were together in the Sahara when it was still wet (55003500 BC). If there were any, before their barbarian hordes raided Africa and amazed with what they saw began showing their first interest in civilisation. Finally, we identify variants that show evidence of selection, including polygenic selection. In some varieties of colloquial Latin American Spanish, I am not sure if pescado wouldnt be substituted in all of your examples. I was being too snarky about Swadesh, and got carried away. By contrast, in French, uninflected verbs surface to the level of the word, as is the case in English. (Not without complications of course OC *-s is a megamerger with several different cognates.). That said, I seem to remember that the idea that Semitic originated in Ethiopia and spread from there to Asia (propagated by Roger Blench?) Motic!!! 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.). What helped me is that silly discussion about Meinhof. For the sex-trade sense they only give one country and I have not looked for a text to support the entry. pull < ME to pluck apparently ~ Low German pulen to shell, husk, while ziehen < PG *teuha- has no well-known ModE cognate; or throw < OE to twist, turn (transitivity??) 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. For that matter, what is the Proto-Permic one? In Melchert, Western Affinities of Anatolian. Kloekhorst, take the diverging meaning as confirmation for the view that Anatolian split off first, which seems reasonable to me. Everything is the way it is because it got that way. -Most verb/noun roots consist of 3 consonants. ), [At one stage I actually thought that WOV as a subgroup was particularly aberrent lexically within Oti-Volta, and wondered about substrates and the like to explain it, until it eventually dawned on me that this was yet another point-of-view illusion: I noticed the cases where WOV had a peculiar lexeme compared with the rest of Oti-Volta without any particular effort, and it was only when I actually started counting the innovated lexemes in other branches I realised that they were all about the same in this overall: they just had different lexical innovations from WOV.]. They understand that perfectly well, and their method is designed to discover them in the dataset, i.e. sometimes used as a generic fish word West-Indo-European affinities of Anatolian. From which it follows that the Germanic languages originated in the North Sea. The relevant Berber forms, such as Siwi yttus, arent even reconstructible for proto-Berber, and are mainly attested in Tunisia and eastward, in areas where Latin had a particularly strong presence; they are much more likely to be loans from Latin into Berber (and are treated as such in Kossmanns The Arabic Influence on Northern Berber, the most recent general study of loanwords in Berber). Epigrues But piling up small dialects and koine is a bad idea. WEST-AFRICAN ORIGIN OF LANGUAGE: THE CASE OF IGBO. A kindly man, and serious The non-r branches all have *i instead Thai has one of the most elaborate systems of classifiers, with several hundred. l k to lick (Hebrew ). Evidence from outside Oti-Volta shows that Gurma preserves the original tones, and the WOV/Buli/Konni/Yom/Nawdm branch has somehow managed to swap H and L tones throughout. Interesting. Thai: (bplaa), (miin). Also modern sites are terribly heavy. Empirically, its really far from correct. Comparativist heaven. Jfr almnninga-, laxafiskeri. Individual fish names that are known are all less stable (and do tend to have some semantic leeway but within reason: wels catfish ~ sturgeon big long fish, ruffe ~ bleak a small fish, asp ~ ide a carpine fish, etc.) But better. I advise you to take care about your portraits! , Wiktionary among the proto-Slavic meanings of the wild part (dik-) lists wild animal, especially wild boar, Evidently a loanword from the Kusaal dg warthog.. However, administrative documents described fishers according to where they fished. Using that many genes allows the detection of incomplete lineage sorting and simply adds more data. That was deliberate. On a slightly different tack, I wonder to what extent the interpretation of Hittite texts actually was helped by IE comparison. Just for convenience, another link to Kitchen et al. 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. But the usual word for jackal is wbaa bush-dog.. Roger, on the other hand, seems to think Nilo-Saharan is not only real but obviously real, in which case the observed similarities would be evidence for subgrouping. 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. , . . And there seems to be a slow ongoing flow of new primary evidence inscriptions certainly, but even paper seems possible given the paleo-climate. He makes a goodish case for lexicostatistics having some value if kept firmly under control. I apologise to his win. Just that for someone interested, a reconstruction might come easier if they had internalized two distantly related languages at an early age. Arabic, Hebrew), a word consists of a three-consonant root (e.g. Das Deutsche Wrterbuch von Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm Those were the times lo these onescore years ago. I wonder if the errors are just in the published paper or were actually in the study itself. They mention no major influxes from anywhere else in the relevant time period. But maybe Enlgish-speaking linguists felt differently. Infixes are inserted within a root. 100% of African population was influenced by/partially descended from the same Eurasian populations which brought agriculture to Europe. Thats a bit misleading; the *i is there, as expected, only in the so-called primary stems, while the *r is there in both the secondary and primary stems. pigs, swines, boars, pork, and what not. it is possible that the author of the Russian word meant a pig (even if I do not know this meaning from Russian texts as such, only from Polish). Perusing Wrights grammar, I was surprised to discover that the Windhill Yorkshirese is a guttural language. Redescription of [further taxa] is an obvious step towards discriminating between these starkly different hypotheses. You might find the frozen rabbit alongside frozen whole squid, rattlesnake, or maybe even goosebut not more conventional poultry like chicken or turkey (or probably even duck). Ethiopian Semitic languages exhibit a number of areal traits diffused from neighboring Cushitic languages. with cards. I have no idea what point you want to make. But compare e.g. Maybe if your always starts at a time posterior to securely ocean-worthy boat technology (which, sure, is relatively early in the Mediterranean). There is an abundance of both contemporary tribal and ancient East African DNA now, most recently in a large study of Prendergast et al. There is or used to be an important commercial whitefish fishery on Lake Superior and other large lakes in that area. : ? Anyway, they became Russian nobility (at the moment a branch of that family with a slightly different family name Politkovskie are more noticeable). WebThe noun classes of Bantu languages fall under this type as well, again with a very loose correlation with semantic categories. The practical question is whether we have suitable material for comparative work. Yes. 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. PDF and references are for 19.50 pounds. .] In North Germanic all this stuff happened in historical times and is documented. I like to think well of Blench. Akkadian WS split does not look very useful for classification:(. Their presence in Ethiopian Semitic languages (some of the languages having all of these, others fewer) might seem to reflect several different diffused traits (SOV counted as one, Noun-Postposition as another, and so on), and might be taken as several independent pieces of evidence supporting the linguistic area. Some of the subgroups have it, but they might have invented it themselves. This is the most typical pattern, where languages within the core of an area may share many features, but the geographical extent of the individual traits may vary considerably one from another. MacBains Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language (1911 edition) Scholars generally treat the Afroasiatic language family as including the following five branches, whereas Omotic is disputed: Although there is general agreement on these six families, linguists who study Afroasiatic raise some points of disagreement, in particular: In the 9th century, the Hebrew grammarian Judah ibn Quraysh of Tiaret in Algeria was the first to link two branches of Afroasiatic together; he perceived a relationship between Berber and Semitic. That classification is getting on for fifty years old, and dates from a period where most of these languages were known, if at all, as short word lists. I love the fact that it can be used Meton., of a hero, champion the way falcon can in Russian. 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. Mehri and Harsusi kob dog form a cognate set (distinct from kalb). 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oti%E2%80%93Volta_languages, Buli-Konni, far from being the first branch, is in fact particularly close to Western Oti-Volta (vastly closer than any of Eastern Oti-Volta.) This is like saying that Dutch is a primary branch of Indo-European, parallel to Germanic, Italic and Celtic. Or d fish', fish: samaka / asmk / d in Coastal Dhofr Arabic: a sketch grammar. The single substative basis for the subgrouping of langauges is the identification in them of shared innovations that are unlikely to have been borrowed from one to another. There are systematic cases too, for example trees and their fruits, e.g. ystervark ironpig (also German Stachelschwein, Dutch stekelvarken, Finnish piikkisika etc.). Thanks, looks good. Andras Rajkis Etymological Dictionary of Arabic Id bet the first example would not have seen print if Pgina/12 still had an actual editing staff. 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). [ylho] But I suppose thats what you meant by dissimilation. The language spoken by the Bantu people is known as a Bantu language. I withdraw my unworthy insinuation. Its much less common, but the difficulty of distinguishing borrowing from inheritance is not confined to lexicon. When we formulate questions as related or not? we may actually confuse the matter. While I suppose one should not dismiss this out of hand (Ive no access to it) this would appear to be exactly the sort of thing that geneticists are rather too prone to take as established science. I thought more about it may be there are not that many -ka/-ik froms that are motivated by a mass noun. Catherine Obianuju Acholonu & Erich Fred Legner Review of a paper presented at the Conference on Indigenous Knowledge and the Challenges of the 21 st Century, Institute of African Studies, UNN, Nsukka. In the same way, in groceries rabbits are poultry and tomatoes are not fruit but vegetables. This is probably why the more common name for it nowadays is bodljikavo prase (spiky pig). Ill have to see if I can find reflexes of it in some known language. I didnt think to make further enquiries Its not in the dictionaries. Therefore were off to a good start and need to continue refining our method. Ive just discovered that Roger Blenchs Archaeology, Language and African Past, that drasvi kindly pointed to above, contains the following words from Samuel Johnson himself, no less: There is no tracing the connection of ancient nations but by language; and therefore I am always sorry when any language is lost, because languages are the pedigree of nations. Without such reconstruction any polemics on the limits of the NigerCongo phylum is barren.. The picture in the booklet would do for a jackal (its not exactly photorealistic.) The likening of language development to the evolution of species is a metaphor. I take it that the standard languages are meant. Drehen is transitive, to make it intransitive you need sich drehen; etymologically its *drjan with the famous causative/more-or-less transitivizing suffix, explaining the Bavarian /a/ (< MHG // < Proto-West-Gmc /aj/). ] but I suppose thats what you meant by dissimilation 100 % African.
