Furthermore, the substituting inflection generally is selected within the targets paradigm; for example, a verb inflection is substituted by another verb inflection, indicating that subcategorization features of lexical items are not violated. Using that many genes allows the detection of incomplete lineage sorting and simply adds more data. 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)? My point is that I can think of no reason that instead, we see A1147, A1149, A2147, A5147 and a host of other survivals of A, and then no B, C, D, maybe a single E and two languages in F, but then G1113, G2052 and G6457 and a host of other survivals of G. In essence, my issue is that the pattern of survival isnt fractal. Raqa'i. 4) why so many peoples called hedgehog by such a compound? https://www.pnas.org/content/108/2/458. porpoise (Meerschwein. Oy. It was a typo. But compare e.g. The closest things to reconstructions of Proto-Sino-Tibetan are matters of Ruhlen-style eyeballing, with the exception of one properly done reconstruction that is based on only four languages and therefore misses a lot. @John Cowan: Somethings missing between bosque and < Old Occ barriga belly. Which probably means that as things stand, using putative inflectional morphology for comparison would be circular reasoning. It is a paper mentioned in this post. Thus, the noun cattus cat is only attested in late Latin sources. Interestingly, Stewart is actually specifically denying the point made here: It is [. Figure 2 shows Spread of Iran-like ancestry and Semitic languages. All this is way beyond my pay grade, but I expect better-informed Hatters will have useful things to say about it. Sarostins method would (I think) put Proto-Oti-Volta at about 4000 YBP, which seems a bit early given how much of the protolanguage is still fairly easily reconstructable (its nothing like Indo-European levels of difficulty) but is by no means impossible. I have no idea what point you want to make. eLV1"R2223s44BakVCvK vB"LO$]06pQUHjepM 7Vyy-}qcNGBg8F5-gI{ bZjDYdm,4IN $0$wL*kN,FseWCJ+C$}n4n gT>i!|8KP=}Zw4)dm,|][ g+ siXr/ Language production typically starts out with utterances, as behavioral elements which provide the initial basis for expressing relations between semantic content and phonetic form. He regards Chadic and Omotic as the branches of Afroasiatic most remote from the others. What languages families are spoken in Africa? Im working on a Best Preserved Uralic Roots list currently and a checkup comes up with 59/205 verbs; not an especially bad haul per se, but already including e.g. Dikobraz , at least in BCSM, is totally opaque dik- might bring up dika (pride) instead of divlj- (wild) but the real issue is obraz is most likely to be interpreted as cheek or else face/reputation, and while it can mean something like form in some cases, no one would understand X-obraz to mean X-like. Or I do not know, maybe to Germanists it looks easier. Yes: I think he was actually the first to point out that Bangime is not only not Dogon, but probably not provably related to anything. This paper shows how much is yet to be studied. However, freshwater carp, sturgeon, and catfish are important food fishes in certain areas, lthough in the US theres a strong prejudice against carp because they destroy the habitat for sport fishes. Yes. (Faroese is closely-ish related to Icelandic, both historically and modernly.). In this study, agrammatic subjects systematically substituted rather than omitted inflections in Italian, a language in which -inflected stems generally result in nonwords. IIRC English did replace a lot of its Swadesh entries with assorted Frenchy borrowings. Compare and contrast: has any significant research on comparative Indo-European ever come out of Latin America? For one thing, he loves to declassify langauges:)). He also suggests a relation to Proto-West Germanic *-astrij. But the introgression of Levantine/North African DNA into Sudanese populations (seemingly meaning people whose genetics closely resembles people now in Nilotic speaking groups) by 5500 ya is intriguing. ~ German drehen turn, rotate. But could this article on an Old Nubian letter help you believe his assertion that The /g/ is just the development of an ancient *d as aneffect of dissimilation is more than just cherry-picking. 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. or is that just my imagination running away with me? Note that the author isnt simply on a quest to prove Greenberg right. was discussed in these august halls not so long ago.. _ Also, I think without the ability to compare to something like Meroitic, your statement about the age of the NES relationship isnt well-founded. I do wonder to what extent Akkadian, or a direct descendant thereof, was still the spoken language in the Neo-Assyrian and/or Neo-Babylonian empires and if so, how much relation it held to the written language of the contemporary cuneiform tablets. Tom Gldemann thinks that Sandawe may be distantly related to Khoe-Kwadi, and Tuu may turn out to be related to Kxa. In their spontaneous speech, as well as in sentence repetition and reading aloud, subjects resorted to substitutions and never produced nonwords. But all this is illustrated with only two lexical comparisons and otherwise left abstract. Monier-Williams Sanskrit Dictionary TITUS: Thesaurus Indogermanischer Text- und Sprachmaterialien The word Bantu means "the people" and is made up of the stem -ntu ( "person" ) and the plural prefix ba -. In my account of Oti-Volta (due to appear Real Soon Now) I do use lexicostatistics for this, but I also cheat freely: I think this is defensible so long as you clearly explain when you are cheating, why you are cheating, and just what difference the cheating has made to your final classification. Hausa (the usual market language thereabouts) is completely unrelated and very different (but then you wouldnt really expect those dodgy merchant types to talk like us salt-of-the-earth farmers anyhow.). tg baobab, tog baobab fruit; duan dawadawa, dng dawadawa fruit., And ethnonyms make regularly make place names and language names this way: Ksaas Kusaasi people, Ksaal Kusaal language, Ksag Kusaasiland; Ms Mossi people, Ml Moor language, Mg Mossi kingdom.. The same with David L. Gold and Rodger C., (does pescada extend to all meanings?). As if we had a reconstructable IE word for Ghoti, @de, AntC Level 3, Syria. For example, children do not need to learn that there are two main kinds of sound segments, consonants and vowels; that propositions distinguish between predicates and arguments; or that there are intransitive and transitive clauses, with one-, two-, or three-place predicates. [piscis-ask-fisk] [ikhths-uvis-jukn] [mtsya] Tocharian laks (cf. Im starting to wonder whether its Eastern Sudanic. Proto-Mande is certainly doable. As for Nilo-Saharan, earlier this month I managed to present something making the case for Songhay and Saharan being related, Is it available anywhere? Perhaps not even Ehret. Here, we generated 137 high-coverage physically phased genome sequences from eight Middle Eastern populations using linked-read sequencing. Wikipedia defines it as a coastal, supratidal mudflat or sandflat in which evaporite-saline minerals accumulate as the result of semiarid to arid climate, but in Arabic it is a salt flat that is not necessarily supratidal. This helped me get a ground sense of how the grouping may not be as strong as some would have it, DE. Does that mean that Germanic nature of English is barely visible (and if not Old English documents it would be highly qestionable)? The paddlefish is a commercial food fish in all 3 areas (American paddlefish were introduced in China), but not an important one. Gray & Atkinson used the cognate sets as characters and presence/absence thereof as the states. Consider examples la and lb below. *, (Though Mande is by no means the only group in contention when it comes to the limits of the Niger-Congo phylum, of course, and is probably the least likely to ever turn out to be demonstrably related to Volta-Congo of all Greenbergs major candidates.). * The reason that the branch between Sinitic and the rest of the tree is the longest could of course be that Sinitic and Tibeto-Burman really are sister-groups, but it could also be that Sinitic is just lexically innovative (e.g. However, the term is pretty common in American cultureespecially, as I indicated, but not entirely, in the West. But in the Levant and Mesopotamia, aside from Sumerian, we have Semitic dialects popping up whenever writing shows up, in cities at a distance from each other, that were not subject to the same kind of pre-historic central rule as along the Nile. American paddlefish are found as far inland as the Dakotas and weigh as much as 200 pounds. WebThe Semitic languages originated in Africa and was disseminated outside Africa through the corridor of the Arabian peninsula. Hes in good company. In general, more history is hidden than is visible. This reminds me of the large number of metallurgical and agricultural words in Sumerian and Akkadian that are loan words from unknown origins. Weirs are a pretty ancient technology for channeling river fish in order to catch them, and I believe there were very early neolithic fishing settlements in places like the Iron Gates on the Danube and in the Pontic steppe on rivers leading into the Black Sea. bratn, maigre, e. Of all these proposals, the most controversial is what may be called the Inter-Saharan Hypothesis. MacBains Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language (1911 edition) If there were any, before their barbarian hordes raided Africa and amazed with what they saw began showing their first interest in civilisation. First: The uncertain, unsettled condition of this science of Cetology is in the very vestibule attested by the fact, that in some quarters it still remains a moot point whether a whale be a fish. In fact, if the two groups did live together, why didnt the Proto-Berbers respond in the same way to changing climate and migrate east as well? Go for Osteichthyes, ironically. Thanks for the Melchert paper, drasvi. I know that the Comanche plundered Texas and Mexico on an ongoing basis, but these were populous and relatively wealthy societies. Cham languages in Nigeria have borrowed heavily fundamental lexicon from neighbouring unrelated Chadic languages (Tangale) so much so that lexical counts make them closer to Chadic than Adamawa. Is it? The Ugaritic writing system, however, departs markedly from the other Canaanite scripts in that its symbols are of cuneiform shape. I guess, it is when sakana is written as , because it can be written with . Strangely, WOLD has sakana, not uo for Japanese fish. Emmon Bach, Wynn Chao, in Philosophy of Linguistics, 2012. Within Volta-Congo, Bantu is quite a good illustration of the traps involved, as I ceaselessly reiterate. If we had no Indo-European languages to compare apart from the modern ones, along with just Old Welsh (doing duty for Old Nubian), the Gaulish remains would be of some value but not a lot. But each article is heavily footnoted, so you can test their assertions easily. Bantu contains hundreds of languages that are spoken by 120 million Africans in the Congo Basin, Angola, the Republic of South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Kenya. His Historical-Comparative Reconstruction of Nilo-Saharan has a version on p. 66 (maybe it was this book). Lizoks Bookshelf Mitochondrial and Y-chromosome haplogroups in these samples are prominently found in Anatolian and European Neolithic samples. Diccionari catal The majority of the J1 haplogroup chromosomes in our dataset coalesce around 5.6 (95% CI, 4.86.5) kya, agreeing with a potential Bronze Age expansion; however, we did find rarer earlier diverged lineages coalescing 17 kya (Figure S2). 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). : >the chief interest naturally lies in the gutturals. Its striking how few African names show up in the footnotes of African linguistics papers, even in works published in 2016. Dictionary of the Scots Language Here (West Eurasia) I know cities where cats approach humans and humans treat them and cities where cats would ran from you if you approach them. The really striking thing about the paper for me was how overwhelmingly Natufian the ancestry of Arabian Arabs is. Blench doesnt go round finding spurious traces of noun classes in Dogon in order to make it fit Niger-Congo better. Semitic, Egyptian, Cushitic, Berber, Chadic. So does his fathers, but his mothers first name looks Norwegian. Or appalling. Nobody really says that. The Macro-Sudan belt: towards identifying a linguistic area in northern sub-Saharan Africa. Because the complaint was ONLY about this specific claim. Googling an issue raised in the paper, the probably spurious Oropom language, I wound up with a reference to a paper by Lameen. Naked Translations Rather, its a Germanic *ruz or *raz aurochs, and ochs was added in German. 33003050 B.C.) Kusaal has triple vowels too, though expected three-mora monophthongs are reduced to two everywere except in maaa only; this is probably an exception on account of the change from *aaa to aaa (overlong glottalised vowel) being fairly recent (it was not complete in Toende Kusaal until after the 1970s.). Etymologically the u is long, so an actual Modern English cognate might have become ourox. litva 1. some 20% of the most basic vocabulary of this outlier language, and a bit of the grammar, is AA, https://www.oocities.org/gdvbqz/ling/eafricamap2.gif, Id say contact with AA is rather more plausible than contact with Khoe-San. In fact, contact with AA is an absolute certainty , (though Maarten Mous grammar of Iraqw, to be fair, says that currently, at any rate, there is little contact between these two groups apart from the Iraqw obtaining honey from the Hadza in exchange for tobacco.). As shown by the unfortunate typos, this issue is not necessarily breathtakingly groundbreaking and worthy of Nature. More specifically, Chilean Cachai? Clickable IPA chart (by Weston Ruter) The headline is The dying fish swims in water. (The article itself is behind a paywall.). Evidence that the internet is not as idiotic as it often looks. On the other hand, WOV as a whole has some suggestive features, like what appears to be a radically simplified verbal system, and (judging by diversity) the centre of gravity of Oti-Volta is well to the east, in Benin, so that WOV and Buli/Konni may well be historical intrusions from the east. Kmmel has been collecting evidence that the same holds for *h. Ramage It would thus be normal to ask, say, a waiter, Qu pescados tiene de agua salada? What salt-water fish do you have? Lista de pescados means fish menu. It is in the dictionary of XVIII century. . I doubt whether Kitchen et al* even know why real historical linguists think that shared innovations matter. Theres an analogous question with Volta-Congo and Bantu: Bantu easily takes the prize overall for most complicated verbal agreement morphology*, and the Traditional View (boo! This suggests one of two possibilities: either the word for fish entered Proto-Albanian from Latin in Imperial times, as fish was an imported item, or was later borrowed from Adriatic Romance varieties in post-imperial times as Proto-Albanian was expanding at the expense of Romance. There are so many fundamental things wrong with this reasoning that one hardly knows where to begin. This is why some people find it important, but it also evolves differently. I feel I should make a small defence of computers, along the lines of Garbage-in Garbage-out. Durch die Jonas-Legende bedingt ist es im MSA speziell der Walfisch und mit dieser Sonderbedeutung im arabischen Osten blich. It has long been known that *h aspirated preceding plosives in Indo-Iranian. WebBantu languages, a group of some 500 languages belonging to the Bantoid subgroup of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. Anyway: textbooks claim that Mande is N-K, Wikipedia does, this paper does NOT say it. Vydrin admits the evidence isnt definitive, but then rails against the extremes represented by the overly rigorous approaches of splitters and the too lax approaches of lumpers. On the other hand, Hanga, which is so similar to Dagbani and Mampruli grammatically and phonologically that you could pretty much use a Mampruli grammar for it (if there was one), has half a dozen words in the Swadesh 100 list which are completely unrelated to anything in Oti-Volta, so Swadeshing would falsely classify it as farther from Mampruli than Kusaal is. This will permit us to evaluate the taxonomic identities of the better known specimens assigned to [] and may assist in clarifying the basal [] condition, thereby shedding light on recent conflicting hypotheses of [] phylogeny [of a larger taxon]. and mtsya. Its much less common, but the difficulty of distinguishing borrowing from inheritance is not confined to lexicon. list for which it is diminutive. You may well have good answers to them.). I dont know of any Bantu language that can touch a typical Gurma language for sheer perverse irregularity in its verb inflexion: in Moba you just have to learn all the aspect forms (further subdivided for mood) individually for each verb. **Domestication is a somewhat misleading word. Meinhofs model was widely supported in the 1940s. If the former, then why such similarity to Germanic? The first evidence of the script, called Proto-Sinaitic, came to light in the early twentieth century with Sir Flinders Petrie's excavations of Egyptian turquoise mines at Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai; hence the name. Poemas del ro Wang "Does anyone have a decent idea of how and where Chadic separated from AA and spread? It seems to me that the linguistic argument from diversity has always been that AA developed in the areas of diversity, and thats what I dont see supported by other lines of evidence. Comanche, Apaches, and Navajo would eventually have overwhelmed the sedentary earth lodge peoples in the north (the Arikara, Mandan, and Hidatsa, who were seriously weakened already by the middle of the XIXc) and maybe the Pueblo tribes in the south (Zuni, Hopi, et al). Any cat, however, who jumps on my lap finds herself instantly on the floor, so I at least dont get bitten. Additional grammatical meanings can be added through prefixes and suffixes. 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). There is nothing keeping a linguistic river in the same channel. 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. Omitting the vocalic base would result in unpronounceable nonwords, that is, forms that are both phonologically and morphologically illegal. S4: a tree based on what they call multistate representation of data. There are also Romance porc-pic, porcospino / porco-espinho / puercoespn, Bolgarian and Sorbian, Irish (torcn) etc.) I still think that collective/mass is a different meaning. P.S. The former is fisu, following this varietys general trend of by default getting all the content words from Swedish (including a majority of the Swadesh list); the latter is *erig > Udm. Is it important that they ignore Old South Arabian completely (Im guessing because there isnt enough data about vowels to be useful in this kind of thing)? Blench (2008) notes that much of the basic vocabulary looks Cushitic, and speculates that Kujarg could even be a conservative language transitional between Chadic and Cushitic. 2) what is the English cognate of Stachel/stekel? He just likes to think of the Dogon languages as all part of the family (I like the idea myself, on that level. So you may be on to something. Previous studies showed that this ancestry was not present in the Levant during the Neolithic period but appeared in the Bronze Age where 50% of the local ancestry was replaced by a population carrying ancient Iran-related ancestry (Lazaridis et al., 2016). However, it has been shown that in Icelandic (Magnsdttir & Thrinsson, 1990), bare stems are almost never produced, even when a -affixed form exists in the language, as is the case with the imperative and the typical first person singular present form of verbs. Theres some circular reasoning in using his cognate table as proof of a relationship between proto-Nubian and Meroitic, since this is his reworked table and the best proof he has for the meanings of the Meroitic words is their correspondence with his sense of proto-Nubian. Stewart went on to try to prove his point by comparisons between his Proto-Potou-Akanic-Bantu and Fulfulde, but its a very weak paper. Thats not the part that astonished me, only the rest if it as far as I know, the common understanding is that Semitic spread into the Levant and Mesopotamia from the South. [After all, the list was drawn up to work for European languages, so it ought not to give bizarre results for English.]. Somehow I think its hard to do better than Carleton Hodge, IndoEuropeans in the Near East, Anthropological Linguistics 23 (1981) 227 244 : We are now in a position to address ourselves to the problem of the IE homeland. @January First-of-May: The Biblical Aramaic date was the other one that jumped out at me as clearly wrong, but Y explained above what happened there. 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) There are not many linguists anywhere. In this regard, also compare the side-by-side existence of Spanish pez fish (as a animal) and pescado caught fish, fish (considered as food), where we might see the sort of situation that existed in Brittonic when the inherited Brittonic word (still in the River Usk, probably) was pushed out by the loanword from Latin pisctus. They offered an interpretation that neolithic tech was first pirated by Morrocans brought to Morocco by diffusion and then more tech came with migration of rights owners. Though given todays news, it might have been more topical for me to find new scholarship on Kehf el-Boroud! Dick & Garlick Language Log LBG (Lexikon zur byzantinischen Grzitt = Lexicon of Byzantine Greek) This has been demonstrated, for example, for how children acquire the semantics, morphology, and syntax of causative verbs in three typologically distinct languages: English at the more analytic or syntactic end of the scale, Hebrew with relatively synthetic bound morphology, and Inuktitut as a polysynthetic language which marks causativity by both morphological and lexical means (Allen, in Lieven, 1998). 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. Glottolog does not accept that the inclusion or even unity of Omotic has been established, nor that of Ongota or the unclassified Kujarge. for someone interested, a reconstruction might come easier if they had internalized two distantly related languages at an early age. I though aha! and apparently ! The Calvert Journal (a daily briefing on the culture and creativity of modern Russia), Linguablogs: Perhaps it can be generalized to any sociolects and dialects to an extent (just to an extent): they can be shaped by decisions, not mere action of some language machine that obeys language laws. But as I said, the coincidence is very suspicious. etymologiebank.nl (Dutch etymology) geographically isolated populations, who retain a feature that a time-traveller could observe in the common ancestor I dont know that this is tremendously perplexing, though: Blench doesnt seem surprised that much of Eurasia is even less diverse (at that high a level) and he, of all people, should know that it is stupid to imagine African prehistory in terms of lots of tribal bands largely isolated from any long-distance networking. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/dik%D1%8A. In 2b, subjects did not substitute the future form of the verb with the present form (/v/, a -infiected form) as in 2a. the most recent common ancestor of Semitic is in the ME. Mande syntax is both weird and strikingly well maintained in its weirdness throughout most of a pretty diverse family, but that has no bearing on the wider genetic relationships of the family at all. That Im not certain of. Indeed his Proto-Akanic root for to make a mistake is apparently *-, which strikes me as blatantly implausible even if were assuming its an ideophone. And skrdderi = tailor shop and work perfomed by tailors). 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. The tree they give isnt bad. 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. This should of course not be true, but it is. But maximizing impact by creating spinoffs goes against this logic, Was wondering about the conflicting claims of studies from 2016 (ancient Levantine Y-DNA in Chadic speakers) and 2018 (Y-DNA in Chadic speakers all came from Baggara intrusions in historic times), then realized Dmitry Pruss had trumped some of this with a mid-2019 post in this thread. Erich Neu argued in his seminal Das hethitische Mediopassiv und seine indogermanischen Grundlagen, where he analysed how the r-endings spread during the attested history of Hittite texts and how that pathway differed from those in Italic and Celtic.
