[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] [QUOTE][i] Linguistic evidence has also been used to refute the tradition that the Fulani people originated from Arabia. There is virtually zero similarity between Fulfulde and Arabic. On the contrary Fulfulde is closely related to [URL=http://www.]Wolof[/URL] and [URL=http://www.]Serer[/URL] both of which belong to the West Atlantic language family which is a branch of Niger – Kordofanian. Thus the [b]Fulani people should trace their origin to the Senegal valley[/b] rather than to the Middle East.[/i] op. cit. pp.58-59[/QUOTE]Jaja fails to back the thread header [i]The Egyptian Origin of the Fulani[/i]. Jaja supports local origins. [/qb][/QUOTE]What linguistic evidence does Jaja provide to support this view? This is circular reasoning. You admit that Diop has presented hundreds of Wolof terms that are related to Egyptian. If we use Jaja's reasoning we must declare that since Fula is related to Wolof, and Wolof is related to Egyptian, Fula is related to Egyptian. In this thread we have not made this silly argument. We have presented linguistic and other data supporting the Egyptian origin of the Fula and that the Fula did not originate in West Africa. In fact, none of the West Atlantic languages originated in West Africa. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
