[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] I wasn't around at the time and reconstructed proto languages at a family stage are all only guesses. I have to have some stock in African born linguists who by necessity speak at least two African languages all their lives. Born and raised African linguists have an advantage, they think and dream in (an) African language(s). Questioning [URL=http://userwww.sfsu.edu/afrs/obenga.html]Obenga's qualifications (link)[/URL] -- the opposite of accepting non-African linguists no questions asked -- shows forgetfulness of what "esteemed non-African specialist" J. Devisse concluded 39 years ago after UNESCO's symposium of 18 "esteemed Arab and Euro specialist" and 2 "presumed knucklehead negroes" not of the "I'll take your word for it old boy" network.

The white country club academia days are finished. Credentialed Africans are recognized authorities on things African. The era of out of hand rejecting Africans' theories about themselves is over and not ever returning. So enough with Obenga ad homina. Only linguistic evidence is evidence for linguistic refutation. All dissenters must rationally address Obenga's linguistic demonstrations against Afrisan as [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008390;p=1#000035]posted on this thread's previous page[/URL], please. I'm far from a linguist. Qualified African and non African linquists present opposing cases for the once Hamito-Semitic language family. To me they are both possibilities. In the non-African camp some doubt Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Kordofanian are distinct phyla and others separate at least Semitic, if not all Afrasian, from African roots. Lkewise African linguists have their differences about current and proposed phylum assignments. [/QB][/QUOTE]
