[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bettyboo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bettyboo: [qb] Dinks aren't related to the Nubians you idiot. Dinkas are related to groups like the shilluk, Masaai, Luo, and other "nilotic" groups. [/qb][/QUOTE]First of all, the 'Nubians' were diverse and consisted of various groups of people. Second of all, even though we don't know exactly what language the most prominent group from Middle Kingdom times onward-- the Kushites-- spoke, is it not possible they were Nilo-Saharan speakers as well and therefore 'Nilotic'?!! Even today, in northern Sudan the so-called Nubian languages are classified as Nilo-Saharan! [/qb][/QUOTE]The Dinkas are not related to the real nubians of Sudan. The have a different way of life, different language, and they look differently. Nubian language is 'classied' as Nilo-Saharan which the Dinka languages are not. The Dinka is related to the Shilluk, Luo, and Masaai. [/QB][/QUOTE]
