[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by S.Mohammad: [b] No such language as "American", what pseudo-science. American English is pretty much the same as British English except that American English has received many loan words from other languages, most of which are NOT American in origin.[/b][/QUOTE] Mr. Mohammad, a) you did not answer my questions regarding Usman Dan Fodio and "Sabon gari" b) I am an American, and our language is American. I know this, and it has nothing to do with any science. This will probably throw you, but the people of Mexico speak Mexican, not Spanish. c)Here is a sample reference regarding peoples inhabiting the "linguistic" areas of your "Table of Nations"; namely Syria: The name Syri seems to have extended of old from Babylonia to the gulf of Issus, and from the gulf of Issus to the Euxine (Strabo, p.737). Strabo also says that even in his time both the Cappadocian peoples, both those who were situated about the Taurus and those on the Euxine, were called Leucosyri or White Syrians, as if there were also some Syrians who were black; and these black or dark Syrians are those who are east of the Amanus. (See also Strabo, p.542.) The name Syria, and Assyria, which often means the same in the Greek writers, was the name by which the country along the Pontus and east of the Halys was first known to the Greeks, and it was not forgotten (Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica, ii.948,964; Dionys. Perieg. v.772, and the comment of Eustathius). c) You say that the Sudanese are heavily mixed with the Arabs, do you mean with their language or with their race? d) I have not only read the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, etc., but I have also studied them. e)Semitic is like Semi or half way between two conditions. The Semitic languages are half way between the Black languages and peoples of Africa and that of the White languages and peoples of Asia (for you, Europe, because I'm sure you think that Europe is a continent.) And I have no doubt that you will respond with more silliness...It's fun after all. PS: I have from the beginning been opposed to the label of "Afrocentrism" because it can, as you have so admirably demonstrated, be used as a subterfuge to deny the validity of sound, logical, and irrefutable knowledge of facts. It is used to imply a bias. later... [This message has been edited by Wally (edited 08 June 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
