>Why do you suppose that this uniformity necessarily arose in deep antiquity, by the way? Let us imagine that in Imperial Roman times Proto-Brythonic was spoken in inland Central/Western England, with coastal Eastern/Southern England being Romance-speaking. I would be surprised to hear a little aquarium fish called pescado, but maybe some speakers would do so. Who viewed me in a thoughtful way, 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). But better. Incidentally, Blenchs snark that splitters are not interested in actual historical linguistics is outright wrong. Jarema and Kehayia (1992) show that, in a constrained sentence production task, French-speaking agrammatic aphasics do omit verb inflections resulting in -inflected, but grammatical, tensed forms. WebHebrew is a Semitic language. singulative I learned this word in a Breton lesson. But each article is heavily footnoted, so you can test their assertions easily. slight reorganization of []) and does not require a hypothesized transitional lineage of []. Plus, independently, the pronouns t or vos can be used for the second person singular, with one of the vos inflections or with the t inflection, making eight voseos in all. But assuming this is the underlying paper: Some is paywalled, but for instance, Ive just searched for one of the titles, Genetic Diversity of the Sudanese, and found a free version. A model that places the ancient Mesopotamian language Akkadian as the most basal lineage of Semitic. Often one trait may spread out and extend across a greater territory than another trait, whose territory may be more limited, so that their boundaries do not coincide (bundle). Playa is a technical term for the local relief feature. This might be a fuss over word use. Japanese, of course, has several words for , the two mentioned in the list are (sakana, uo). in general, im a bit skeptical of explanations of fishy things that seem to only be thinking about saltwater fish. Dogon is way cool. [In passing, I mentioned above an actual instance of this in my own area of interest: the Atakora dpartement in Benin. Also Im going to sing. I know it parses differently, but it seems interesting (and maybe relevant?) Ah. Turns out that Nabta is a nearby local place name, and Playa is a technical term for the local relief feature specifically, a technical term that is typically used in the (south)western USA, and consequently familiar to the University of Colorado archaeologists who discovered the site. There are styles they share. Which probably means that as things stand, using putative inflectional morphology for comparison would be circular reasoning. 1. 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. I just noticed I missed a whole bunch of comments here. Not only this, but this in particular. He implies that the onus is on splitters to show that Mande, Dogon etc are not related to Volta-Congo; that would be a reasonable thing to do if there had ever been any good evidence that they were related, but there really hasnt. However, this is not so. Arnold Zwickys list of blogs and resources It is an area which I wish to see studied more: creative contribution of speakers in the langauge (rather than in a text). There is no similarity between Arabic languages( languages of Assyrian and It seems in Oman these words entered fish territory. remained a mystery for me until you wrote about characters and states. Ordinary WOV speakers are well aware that their various languages are quite similar, especially over against neighbouring non-WOV languages, but like normal non-Hatters in general tend not to wonder about the implications of this. Small lakes have small fish, but the same species in a bigger lake can grow bigger (though there are plenty of small fish in large bodies of water).. @Trond, Y pescada immediately made me think about markets. The modern term is KONGO. Examples are Kusaal siinf bee, siind honey; wd hunter, wog deep bush country; zua friend, zuod friendship; sabua girlfriend, lover, sabuod romantic liaison and lots more. But it matches your description, and this: For figure 2,we chose to present the phylogeny based on the binary dataset following conventions of previous linguistic phylogenetic studies (Gray & Atkinson 2003; Atkinson et al.2005; Gray et al.2009), (G&A 2003: Language-tree divergence times support the Anatolian theory of Indo-European origin (Nature) etymolog.ruslang.ru (Russian etymology and word history links) All other messages and opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily state or reflect those of languagehat.com. Whorf [1945] records such covert categories for English nouns: for example, she referring to boats of a requisite importance or size. and i dont know of languages that do a salt/freshwater fish distinction. The affixes are certainly morphological now, but they show pretty clear evidence of a former life as clitics. Languagehat.com does not endorse any potential defamatory opinions of readers, and readers should post opinions regarding third parties at their own risk. 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. for someone interested, a reconstruction might come easier if they had internalized two distantly related languages at an early age. Its very hard for me to understand what dynamics would allow a trade language to wipe out the preexisting languages in a pre-state setting with only limited trade. Romanian obraz cheek, Makedonian cheek, Serbo-Croatian cheek, honour, face*, and Bulgarian image, shape, face, character). A good many Hausaphones (some pretty eminent) have published on Hausa, for example. As seen earlier, several of the traits in the Mesoamerican linguistic area do have the same boundary, but in many other areas, the core areal traits do not have the same boundaries, offering no bundling and no clearly identifiable outer border of the linguistic area in question. 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.) Wait. 67-82, 1982. In which case there was nothing to be diluted. That looks pretty plausible; and in that case you would presumably expect to see the phenomenon fairly widely across different language families. Ethnologue Strong Language (a sweary blog about swearing), Language resources: https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/funny-animal-names-in-german. Changes in English took centuries. 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. How linguistic areas are defined has been subject to considerable debate. He also suggests a relation to Proto-West Germanic *-astrij.[1]. There are ways to distinguish those things. Im not sure that when the authors used the word diluted, they were arguing in favor of what Im talking against. Welsh is quite fond of making singulatives out of plurals, which then oust the original singular form, as with llygoden mouse 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. @Y: Did you copy some of those dates wrong? My favorite is that they somehow tracked down a 500-word article I wrote in the late 80s about a high school girls badminton game for a local daily newspaper, and theyve asked me at least 100 times to claim its authorship, but I wont give them the satisfaction. Birgit Hellwigs excellent grammar, quite apart from being a very good description, goes into some detail on the wider linguistic relationships, which are the more interesting because the language is part of a Sprachbund, along with other Chadic and also Volta-Congo languages, in Plateau State in Nigeria. hedge, pike, spike, pin, spine, tine, brod, iron, sea urchin, hengehog and other, En. Maybe its just the biorxiv version, which could have been scanned from a paper copy or maybe received in Word and printed for scanning or something. dictionary I cited does not itself contain citations. His suggestion that Gurage langauges stayed where they are without travelling to the ME (and then were Ethiopianized by Ethiopians) does not really change the picture, it just redistributes splits. ScriptSource Blench (1999d), in a study of Cushitic and Chadic livestock terminology, has shown specific links between the two that are not part of common Afroasiatic. The list itself can be based on Mande data. Its beyond my talents and/or commitment to read the studies and be certain of the capabilities of individual software programs, or to be sure that their conclusions are always fully supported by their methods. And though I dont know the work, I can imagine there is a degree of subjectivity there. (His implication that three-term number marking is common in Gur languages is false; there are some forms here and there, which look as if they originated as singulatives in some cases, but thats it; and Welsh has a lot more singulatives than any Gur language I know of, but this is probably not due to Nilo-Saharan influence ). If Africanists cant achieve this they mustnt pretend that they can. Of all these proposals, the most controversial is what may be called the Inter-Saharan Hypothesis. Its precisely by looking at the data from comparison of individual languages that you begin to see how weak the evidence for groups like Gur, for example, really is. I have no idea what point you want to make. Or I do not know, maybe to Germanists it looks easier. (Maybe more controversially: I have a somewhat bleak views on how much value non-paradigmatic and non-semantically-quirky grammatical evidence has for anything in one-or-two-segment comparisons, high odds of chance resemblance quickly dilutes the value of even exact formal identities. Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (Open Access PDF version of volumes A M and O P) Principal component (Figure 1), phylogenetic trees (Figures 2 and 3), and admixture (Figure 6) analyses all reveal the African taurines as being the most diverged of the taurine populations. He knew of Semitic through his study of Arabic, Hebrew, and Aramaic. Unfortunately, I dont think that is all they mean. Die allgemeine Bedeutung Fisch fndet sich jedoch im Westen und im Sden der arabischen Halbinsel: .. So if I strip off a few layers of irony, it will be just they same. . Its my understanding that the lifestyles we refer to as pastoralists today only exist in symbiosis with settled agriculturalists. In the Mossi-Dagomba cultural zone they are very strongly associated with chieftaincy. Seriously, both English and Russian have many pig words. list leaf, listy (a specific register when applied to leaves on a tree, usually applied to paper and then sounds serious) leaves, listva foliage, listya (the most common plural for leaves on a tree but morphologically not quite plural) listik/listok/listochek a leaf listiki, listki, listochki (unserious when applied to paper). 151-185. Different points of departure underlie claims about universals in language acquisition. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of Semitic languages identifies an Early Bronze Age origin of Semitic in the Middle East. Proc. The differences are due to (3.1) drift (3.2) founder effect (3.3) intermarriage with different pre-existing populations of the islands Also, my posts should be taken as conversation-starters; there is no expectation of staying on topic,and some of the best threads have gone in entirely unexpected directions. These emerge relatively early in Turkish compared with European or, First Language Acquisition, Developmental Psychology of, Linguists typically argue in favor of abstract representations for language, but many recent approaches to language within the cognitive science framework have stressed the importance of surface forms. Ethiopic has the same form as in Cushitic. (Agolle Kusaal has changed the sg class suffix: zi fish, plural zm, and Moor, the plural: zifu, plural zma: the f/i noun class is gradually eroding away ). [The stem of arrow often alternates CVC/CVVC, cf Kusaal piim arrow, plural pima, and the vowel quality alternations make sense, as the word originally belonged to the u/i long thin things noun class, obsolete in WOV, where the plural -i causes umlaut of unrounded vowels to /i/ in WOV; this /i/ is then very often backported into the singular form as well, particularly when the plural is commoner than the singular in any case.]. If the expected correlations among these constructions are not taken into account, one might be tempted to count each one of these word orders in different constructions as a separate shared areal trait and their presence in Ethiopian Semitic languages might seem to reflect several different diffused traits (SOV counted as one, NounPostposition as another, and so on), and they could be taken as several independent pieces of evidence defining a linguistic area. If all we had were the contemporary standard languages, though good luck. But Ill leave it as potentially inspiring new conversation even though its an assertion I cant support. He divides Erythrean into Cushitic, comprising Beja, Agaw, and East-South Cushitic, and North Erythrean, comprising Chadic and Boreafrasian. According to his classification, Boreafrasian consists of Egyptian, Berber, and Semitic. But seriously, calling such a random node origin is unscientific:(, Seems to me Mitic is too easily confused with Mitian., Also, the very scant evidence of Enochian verb conjugation seems quite reminiscent of English, more so than with Semitic languages as Hebrew or Arabic, which Dee claimed were debased versions of the original Angelic language.. The earliest Semitic east of the Akkadian core in Mesopotamia that anyone knows about is the Akkadian used by second-millennium scribes in Susa and West Semitic Amorite coming down the eastern edge of the Mesopotamian lowlands from the north towards the end of the third millennium. On semantics-motivated splitting of etymologies, I recommend also Starostin Jr.s 2013 paper on lexicostatistics as a basis for language classification where he discusses e.g. It is based on great diversity of Ethiopian Semitic languages. SD 5: 699 (1347, gammal afskr.). Arabic lisn). Could this Iranian genetic component be connected to hypothetical metallurgists spreading their technical vocabulary across the fertile crescent? Sarostin references in passing Roger Blenchs, https://www.rogerblench.info/Language/World/Blench%20CALL%20Leiden%202011%20ppt.pdf, which produces in me my usual response to Blenchs comparative work, viz that its interesting and thought-provoking, but ultimately not very convincing. and the Egyptian finds in southern Palestine from the Early Bronze period I (ca. That reminds me of this Russian paper on Hadza finding that some 20% of the most basic vocabulary of this outlier language, and a bit of the grammar, is AA. This is one error Gray, Atkinson et omnes have never made. So much of the ancient writing that remains to us is repetitive funerary formulae. These are the ground-truth dates Rabin uses to calibrate his lexicostatistics. In their spontaneous speech, as well as in sentence repetition and reading aloud, subjects resorted to substitutions and never produced nonwords. These nominal classifications make themselves felt 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. I Two occurrences of Nature and two sets of parentheses are unintended result of my, apparently unfinished, attempt to make it less ambiguos:(, The latter two are just spinoffs of the first, created mainly to maximize all impact factors, I found it funny, and at the same time logical and even reassuring that the lightest and more accessible (more pics and less math) journal is on the top of the hierarchy. I dont even like my present cat, but I cant give her away (nobody wants her) nor send her to a shelter (given peoples stupid superstitions about black cats). The word Bantu means "the people" and is made up of the stem -ntu ( "person" ) and the plural prefix ba -. The OED also finds it in Cormac McCarthys All [the] Pretty Horses, and the annual Burning Man festival is famously held on an extremely arid and dusty playa lakebed. leads to a different tree. 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. Ramage An obviously related question is history of domestication**-mutualism-synanthropism-synailourism. I think to understand the growth of NS and NC, we have to consider whether there were similar new forces at play earlier than we are aware of. and it doesnt mean people arent aware of what the live animal looks like. Nobody really says that. http://www.rogerblench.info/Language/Niger-Congo/Dogon/DogOP.htm. Im not really competent to address the idea that a language groups origin should be in the place where it has the greatest diversity of languages and groups. fish. (There is a more indirect reflex of it in word-initial preconsonantal position: an epenthetic vowel *hsti, *hsnti > e-es-ti, a-san-zi and likewise for a bunch of other verbs.). Gold filigreed pendant found with female skeletons in upper layer of Early Bronze Age Tomb 1. The first (and only) non-American cite in the OED for this sense is from a 1939 British textbook on physical geography. There is: you sit down and investigate the slightly different datasets and the decisions to pick up cognacy judgments from prior researchers or use their own, consider grammatical data or only use lexical data, use variations on the methods of calculation etc.. The Calvert Journal (a daily briefing on the culture and creativity of modern Russia), Linguablogs: He thus divided Afroasiatic into two major branches, Omotic and Erythraean, with Erythraean consisting of three sub-branches, Cushitic, Chadic-Berber-Egyptian-Semitic-Beja, and Ongota. Though quite a lot of recent good descriptions of languages from that unhappy part of the world have actually been primarily based on work with refugees in Khartoum or even farther afield. Very interesting. Aridification of Arabia 6 kya in the paper quoted in the original post intrigued me. Arak-29 (Armenian links) So this absence is not a neutral thing to be blithely ignored in comparative work: its a powerful argument against Mande being related to Volta-Congo at all. If someone feels that they are very likely and offers a wager of 10 barrels of guinness to 1, it is her guinness. About English, my point here is that morphology can change very fast. >Since you dont say what your source concludes, Ill just jump in to note that the ur- in aurochs is hardly ur- original. Yoruba eja (where the e, though now invariant, is the relic of an old class prefix) is another that looks like it might be related. Fish is reconstructable for Proto-Oti-Volta, but Gabriel Manessy has only one, very dubious, potential cognate in the Grusi languages, so although he thought it was Gur, I dont think the evidence is really there. 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). Example A SIMBA Ancient Egyptian: snb e t q be healthy Shona-Bantu: SIMBA, be healthy, be strong, powerful ]. Dimmendaal (who splits Niger-Congo) is even less fairly to be characterised as a person with no interest in comparative work, if anything. On reflection, the mediopassive -r would be rather different from the locatives involved in progressive forms: rather than being an integral part of the relevant construction itself, it would be a sort of reinforcement of the meaning already inherent in a mediopassive verb, emphasising that the effect of the action didnt pass over to any other entity apart from the subject. trava grass trav-in-ka Even rural sites (Figure 8) show surprising complexity, for example, monumental architecture (Kashkashu III, Halawa, Raqa'i), hydraulic systems (Umbashi, like nearby Jawa in Jordan). @John Cowan: Somethings missing between bosque and < Old Occ barriga belly. Go to The Use of Reconstructed Proto-Forms and see the 2nd graph on terms for mud, where youll see how g and d and their geminates interact. R.D. There is no evidence for the existence of these prefixes at all: theyre a mere epicycle. (In a good way ). I know that the Comanche plundered Texas and Mexico on an ongoing basis, but these were populous and relatively wealthy societies. 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).
