[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] Besides post dating Obenga, Ehret does not see Egyptic, Tamazight, and Semitic as unrelated. He maintains the Greenberg unity of those three. As a sidebar here's a repost from April 2005 on the evolution of Obenga's Egyptian-BlackAfrican language macrophylum: 1913 - [b]Homburger[/b] formulates theory of commonality of languages from the North-east African Nile to the Atlantic coast, across the swathe of the Sudan, i.e. "Negro-Africa." She excludes North Africa and Berber. 1924 - [b]Delafosse[/b] employs the term Negro-African. He excluded Afrasian (Tamazight, Egyptian, Cushitic, Semitic) and Khoisan from this group. 'Groupe senegalo-guineen' in [b]A. Meillet & M. Cohen[/b] (eds) [i]Langues du Monde[/i] Paris: Champion, 1924 1941 - Homburger proposes Egyptian as the source of Negro-African with Dravidian as the possible source for both language groups. [b]L. Homburger[/b][i] Les langues negro-africaines et le peuples qui le parlent[/i] Paris: Payot, 1941 1974 - [b]Obenga[/b] delineates between Negro-African and Berber. He says Berber shares no typological, morphological, phonemic, lexicological, or syntactic similarities in the least with Egyptian.[i] Report of the symposium on 'The Peopling of Ancient Egypt and the Deciphering of the Meroitic Script' The General History of Africa - Studies and Documents No. 1[/i] Paris: Unesco, 1978 [/QB][/QUOTE]
