[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: Anybody with eyes and can read a map can see that the proximity of Europe to North Africa makes it prone to mixing of populations from across and along the Mediterranean. you will find many scholars and writers from throughout history who have talked of the mixed populations in parts of North Africa. Who in their right mind would even begin to suggest this is the debate? Of course they are there. [/QUOTE]I agree [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: However, what is not clear and what has not been supported by those making the claim, is that Berber languages originates with Eurasian migrants to North Africa. Whether it be the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Normans, the Vandals, the Sea Peoples, the Turks, the Arabs or anyone else. Berber languages are strictly an African phenomenon not originating from populations outside the continent. Hence it is of no merit to say that because some Berbers are European in phenotype, that means that Berber is a European or Eurasian linguistic and cultural import to Africa. It is not. Cite whoever you want that says this from a scholarly perspective, but I doubt you will find any. [/QUOTE]Berber languages and Berber peoples: genetic and linguistic diversity: Naima Louali Dating Proto-Berber remains a difficult task, and Berber represents a fascinating case for historical linguistic: it is very different from the other families of the Afro-Asiatic phylum which would indicate a very old split (around 8 000 ~ 9 000 years BP). On the other hand, present-day Berber languages are quite homogeneous suggesting that they shared a common ancestor not more than about 3000 years BP by comparison say to other families such as Romance or Germanic. Given this contradiction, it is practically impossible to identify the immediate ancestor of present-day Berber languages with the first stage of differentiation of Berber within the Afro-Asiatic phylum. We propose, on the basis of the lexical reconstruction of livestock-herding, a Proto-Berber 1 (PB1) around 7 000 BP and a Proto-Berber 2 (PB2) the direct ancestor of contemporary Berber languages (Louali & Philippson 2003).
