[QUOTE]Originally posted by basicbows: [QB] My knowledge or ignorance of linguistics is beside the point. I'm not making any claims, whatsoever: I'm not here to pontificate when I have no opinion on an issue, or when I don't know enough to make an intelligent judgment. You're the one making the assertions, and you appear to be annoyed because I have the gall to question them. And what has this to do with Afrocentrism, Eurocentrism et al? I was asking you questions about your assertions re the relationships between various languages. You appear to be making the claim that Meroitic is related to Tocharian. The mainstream view is that Tocharian is an IE language, and that Meroitic is probably Nilo-Saharan. You've come to different conclusions. Why are you right and "they" wrong? You also claim to have deciphered Meroitic and the language of the Harrappans? Am I correct? Has anyone written in support of these claims? I mean, one can assert anything. Ok, I assert that Kerma was built by little green mice who lived in little cheese castles on the dark side of the moon, invented interstellar travel and created all earthly civilizations? I'll cite my own work as evidence. Can you prove me wrong? Let's use some common sense here. [/QB][/QUOTE]
