[QUOTE]Originally posted by Please call me MIDOGBE: [QB] Actually, that's not how I'm looking at things. If I want to find a genetic relationship between two languages, then I'll first start looking at linguistic facts only (vs extra-linguistic) and look for genetic features (vs typological features). If I find genetic features between language and that this can be supported by other disciplines (as I did so far), then it's fine, but if it definitely cannot, I'll have to take a new look at genetic/typological features (hasn't happened to me yet). The only factor I considered here to claim that Japanese/Yoruba toponyms isn't proof of anything is linguistics. Now, my question was about what you actually mentioned, namely the Eastern Libyans of Egyptian records, the Mshwsh, Lbw, Spd, Osorkon, Shoshenq, etc. Do these names have actually been shown to be related to modern Berber languages? I'm asking that because while I don't deny that those people are among the ancestors of modern North Africans, I wonder how "Africanized" were those people at the time, if they still had an Euro-like culture like Babacar SALL claimed relying only on archeology. BTW, do you agree that the pics I posted from BATES in another thread were actually of "Tehenu"? [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] My god man, Yorubaland and Japan are separated by 1000's of miles. Of course any similarities by that example is just wishful thinking. In North Africa we have this continuity in the M-Z-GH root in writings extending from Herodotus right up to now. In North Africa we have obvious related peoples whereas that far fetched comparison is between two peoples not remotely related in the least. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Please call me MIDOGBE: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri~: What do you think about the Eastern Libyans (of the Egyptian records) and the Maghrebi Imazighen being related by language but more loosely related as far as geneaology?[/QUOTE]Is there actually substantial evidence supporting the claim of a linguistic relationship between the two? Are these conclusions only based on sound similarities of ethnonyms and anthroponyms? If yes do they share a meaning? Perhaps could they only be explained by phonological distribution and are not any more relevant than BAIYE(?)'s Yoruba & Japanese toponyms. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
