[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlessedbyHorus: [QB] I remember when Keita said this. [i]"Haplotype IV (M2), as noted, is found in high frequencies in West, Central, Sub-equatorial Africa in speakers of Niger-Congo-which may have special relationship with Nilo-Saharan--spoken by Nubians; together they might form a super phylum called Kongo-Saharan or Niger-Saharan (see Gregerson 1972, Blench 1995),but this is not fully supported."[/i] --S.O.Y Keita 2005 Since African linguists and even mainstream linguists have made this connection I am starting to believe these language families maybe related. Bantu languages and Niger-Congo as a whole is a very understudied language family which is why I am so curious about the origins and why I take into account oral history. Not because I wanna say "we wuz kangs and shiet!!!" like certain characters in this thread BUT because like I said it's origin story is not given much work or effort as let's say Nilo-Saharan and Afro-Asiatic with obvious reasons for the fact Nilo-Saharan is centered in the Northeast African region bedded by Egypt and Afro-Asiatic covers a range of Northeastern African as well as Southwestern Asian regional diversities and it has been a hot button debate for a century whether it originated inside Africa or outside with the obvious evidence pointing within. I believe including the Niger-Congo family can add to the clue/puzzles of Northeast Africa. I mean the Nuba people of Sudan(though I believe are Nilo-Saharan autosomal wise) speak a Niger-Congo language. And like I mentioned linguistics mentioned similarities between Ancient Egyptian and Bantu words. But to make it CLEAR! I am NOT saying that the Egyptian language was Bantu, it is proven it was Afro-Asiatic(though I think more similar to Chadic imo) but it may have contained "Bantu-like" words. And to make it even clearer I don't want people to claim I am some hardcore afronut trying to steal Ancient Egyptian history. For one I am not even from a group that speaks a Bantu language nor do I have any interest claiming I descend from Ancient Egypt. Now Ancient Mali is a different story. ;) lol. [/QB][/QUOTE]
