[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ So far linguistic evidence seems to correlate the domestication of cattle in Africa with Nilo-Saharan speakers as opposed to Afro-asiatic/Afrisian speakers. This was discussed [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=007331]here[/URL] and [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=003965]here[/URL]. Though I do question whether Nilo-Saharan was the only language phylum spoken in the Saharan region, especially in the Central Sahara. Many linguists tend to group Songhai as Nilo-Saharan yet that language as well as a few others possess peculiarities that at best make them distant relatives. And a couple of languages (I forgot which) that are spoken by small groups are considered isolates.

I've seen them featured in a lecture by Keita and I point to the fact that the first settlements in the Delta are in the southwest as opposed to the northeast which throws a big wrench into the idea that the Delta folk are of Asiatic origin.
