[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Ehret's spelling is Afr[b][i]a[/i][/b]san which to me still has too much Asia in it and why I proposed Afr[b][i]i[/i][/b]san as a spelling that injects more of the sound of AFRIca into the descriptor. [QUOTE]The development of Afrisan 1530 - kinship noted between Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic 1702 - Ludolf notes affinity of Ethiosemitic with [the above listed] languages 1887 - Muller links Egyptian, Semitic, Berber, Cushitic, and Hausa 1963 - Greenberg introduces Afroasiatic to replace Hamito-Semitic name 1988 - Diakonoff coins Afrasian a short form for Afroasiatic 2002 - Ehret proposed Afrasan to take Asia out of superphylum's name I use Afrisan to inject more of the sound of AFRIca into the name Outside of the far northeast tectonic extension of Africa now known as the Mid-East, this language family is spoken nowhere in Asia out side of religious introduction.

[/QUOTE]Agreed, Christopher Ehret has tried one approach of calling the language Afrisan, as he is trying to remove the term "Asia" from a language group that consists of African familes only.
