[QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: []It is clear from the article that he believes the Niger-Congo speakers originated in the Sudan. It is also clear that the Mande, who spoke a Niger-Congo language, would have been in the Sudan with the other Niger-Congo speakers. . [/QB][/QUOTE]I'll just repeat the point again. yes, in 1995 Blench proposed that a Niger-Saharan family existed in the Sudan. Even in 1995, Blench stated that this family had been widely dispersed [b]before the formation of the Mande branch[/b] , i.e. the Mande dispersal did not begin in the Sudan. More importantly, Blench is [b]not[/b] saying this in 2006. The way scholars work is to cite the latest view not one that is eleven years old and may represent something Blench no longer believes.
