[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Dr. Winters First I'd appreciate the respect of capitalizing my ethnic geonomen, thank you. Second please only reply here to the language aspect and relating disciplines supporting this thread's subject header. I don't want the topic distracted and obfuscated by tangential matter. I will broach a new topic to cover the remainder of the queries below. Now for your reply: The real question is which if any [b]modern[/b] linguists have you actually studied in regard to Tamazight/Berber language? A corollary to that would be what [b]current[/b] archeaologists, anthropologists (physical, cultural, genetic, etc.) historians, etc., specializing in North Africa, the Sahara/Sahel, and Amazigh people have you read? It seems that outside of Diop, whose opinions on Berbers are colored by the ethnopolitical friction between Senegal and Mauritania, Berber studies are outside the fields of knowledge you specialize in. A detailed answer to your questions is in [b]Roger Blench[/b] [i]Types of language spread and their archaeological correlates: the example of Berber[/i] Origini, XXIII: 169-190 (2001) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Who were the people the HAW NBW associated with upon arrival in Cyrenaica and Sirte? How many centuries were the two in association before hatching the invasions of KM.t? Did Kmtyw artists depict any of various people of the invading coalition and under what single name or various names? Why did the Vandals come to the five provinces of Roman ruled North Africa? What relationships did they have with the people they found already there? How long did they rule the North African littoral and how far inland was their influence (if any influence they had)? What went on in North Africa between the arrival of the Sea People and the Vandals? Were any institutions formed by or any cultural contributions coming from the indigenees of North Africa? What, if any, polities did they constitute? Why do any people with long cultural continuities (your Mande eg.) use the Julian calendar and how does such use negate the fact of their cultural continuity? [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] Given your knowledge of the Tmazight and awareness of the evidence supporting their origin in Africa, instead of coming to Africa first as part of the Peoples of the Sea Invasion and later supplemented by the Vamdals, please answer the following questions: What tool kit is associated with the Berbers? What archaeological assemblages are associated with these Proto-Tamazight? What dates do archaeologists give the cultural items you claim are associated with these Proto-Tamazight? What items in the Proto-lexicon of Tamazight is of Berber origin and not an Egyptian, Germanic, Latin or Semitic loan word into Berber? Also if the Tamazight have such a long cultural history why do they use a Latin calendar to record their chronology? Please respond [/b] . [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
