[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ I don't understand what you mean here by Afroasiatic origin. Are you referring to the actual populations who spread the languages as opposed to the languages themselves? Language like any other cultural feature can be transmitted between populations without any actual genetic exchange. If you are suggesting that there was an exchange in clothing style as well as body art between the Lebou and Niger-Congo speakers like the Wodaabe, it is very possible. In fact, even linguistic influence is also plausible considering the striking similarity between the Wolof language and that of ancient Egyptian as first cited by Chiek Diop. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think it was a matter of exchange. I think some Woodabe, Futa-be or Lebou got mixed with other people during the time between the Intermediate period of Egypt and Seti. Yes - I am referring to the people that spread the Afro-Asiatic or "semitic" language group into Arabia and the Near East. [/QB][/QUOTE]
