[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] WHAT HAPPENED TO THE "ETHIOPIANS" OF COASTAL NORTH AFRICA SPREAD TO DARIS MENTIONED BY STRABO AND EUPHORAS, i.e. Mauri? A 19th c. reference to the Aulimmeden (Lamtuna/Lamta/Kelowi Tuareg groups) of Niger: 1896 - "The name of Aurighia is indeed given to one of the principal dialects of the Tamashek language, and from the Aouragh Ibn Khaldun, traces the great Berber divisions of Sanhadja and Lamta. This powerful race anciently inhabited the sea coast, and may have given their name to the country around Carthage... Nachtigal tells us that the Kelowi of Air...belong at least so far as the noble part of them is concerned to the Auragha and hence their dialect is called Auraghey even at the present day. In the days of Abu-Obeid el Bekri(Description de L'Afrique Septentrionale, ed. Slane, pp. 13,44) the Auraghas inhabited the shores of the Gulf of Syrtis and the districts of Kabes and Barca." found in Vol 1, The History and Description of Africa: And the Notable Things Therein Contained - authored by Leo Africanus Published by the Hakluyt Society of London, translation by John Pory, 1896, p. 193. Of course, the Tuareg if we are to believe African manuscripts of Bornu mixed "with Turks and Tartars" among other peoples, before settling in Sahel. [/QB][/QUOTE]
