[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: The irony here is that they speak of a people who apparently came from the South of Northeast Africa (modern Sudan-Egypt border). And if I am not [b]mistaking E-V68 is said to have originated at region of Lake Nubia.[/b] If you ask me, I'd say it's even coherent with the Halfan industry. [/QUOTE]Which source maintains this? [QUOTE] From what I have read, the Beja are older to the Tuareg. Which is another irony.[/QUOTE]Why is that an irony? The Beja are not Tamazight-speakers; their language is more closely aligned with Cushitic, though listening to some observers, there is an impression that the Beja language is something of a somewhat intermediary between the "northern" Afro-Asiatic African language groups (ancient Egyptian, Semitic and Tamazight) and the southern "Afro-Asiatic" group (Cushitic, and perhaps Chadic). [QUOTE]The Tuareg come closest, therefor I propose them as the candidate. Of course it needs further inspection.[/QUOTE]The "Tuareg" came closest in terms of what, and involving whom else? In all honesty, I'm not convinced, just going by everything that you've posted so far, that the Tamasheq/"Tuareg" serve as the best representation of an ancestral Tamazight-speaking group. It seems to me you are trying to make a [b]genetic[/b] case for an ancestral Tamazight-speaking group, which I take it, you do not consider the Siwa as possibly the best example--among contemporary Tamazight-speaker--of a group preserving an ancestral proto-Tamazight gene pool? We'll get to the genetic issue later, in terms of how it can relate to the linguistic issue, but I want to get to the bottom of the linguist matter first. [/QB][/QUOTE]
