[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: Sometimes populations migrate and carry languages with them, and sometimes populations migrate and the languages aren't carried. However a population that migrates must carry their genes with them. A good example of this is African Americans. It would be very difficult to trace AA origins thru the langauges they speak. However the genetic signature of the their African origin is very strong. [/QUOTE]Put it this way: most of the time, people migrate and carry their 'pre-existing' languages with them; they don't just cease to speak it upon arrival. In some cases, due to acculturation, motivated by the socio-political/cultural environment in which the migrants arrived, this language may or may not change. African captives who were brought to the Americas likely came with their pre-existing languages, until over time lost it, because of pressure of the need to assimilate into the predominating socio-cultural organizations which they were confronted with, while others had decided to work with fusion of various languages/dialects of the heterogenous African migrants to be able to communicate with another, essentially giving rise to a new common language.
