[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by S.Mohammad: [b] Thats what I'm trying to tell homeylu, that there is no sense trying to prove blackness using sources which tried to categorically deny blackness. I really don't understand why homeylu and wally are so insistent on Wolof as opposed to Chadic, Cushitic, Omotic, and even some Nilo-Saharan tongues, being more related to AE. Its not like the latter four being more related negates the Africaness of AE, they simply emphasize its Africaness even more. Moreover as the pdf I posted said, Diop excluded these languages when he did his mass comparison. Had he included them, he no doubt would have found they have a closer relationship to AE than Wolof.[/b][/QUOTE] You misunderstand. We use Wolof as well as Yoruba to reconfirm the need to redefine African languages and how they relate to each other. There has not yet appeared a Hausa scholar to my knowledge who has done the type of research that Cheikh Anta Diop and J. Olumide Lucas has done on this subject. These languages aren't "superior" to or closer to Pharaonic Egyptian. You must remember that one of Professor Diop's earliest writings was "The Origin of the Wolof Language and Race." And you, yourself a Hausa speaker has not added a single comparative study between Hausa and Pharaonic Egyptian. Let's get on it man! And another problem that I have with some posts here is a seeming desire to throw out the baby with the bathwater - the word Hamitic. The etymology of this word is African, it refers to African people. There is no need to discard this word or put it in quotes, simply because Europeans expropriated it in order to further the myth of a "White Egypt." We should simply reclaim it and give it a proper scientific status. There are Hamitic speaking peoples you know--Beja; Hausa; Oromo; Ancient Egyptians; etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
