Did "Nubians" really speak a Nilo-Saharan language?

Tigrinya is as distinct to Amhara as Somali is to Afan-Oromo. I hope they are not lumping it with Amhara, it deserves its own space under semetic languages. Supercar most of us don't read all threads on this forum, so i'm sorry if you see this as "ad nauseam". So you say The Meoretic language has been partially identified as Nilo-Saharan. And if that's true don't you think then the Egyptians being lingustically different from "Nubians" validate the early anthropologists claim of two distinct societies? [/QB][/QUOTE]
