[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] The linguistic evidence makes it clear that Romans , Greeks and other Europeans have influenced the Berbers. [/qb][/QUOTE]That may well be true of the littoral Berbers of the coasts but what of the hinterland Berbers of the Sahara who have been isolated from any Europeans?? What of the Tuareg, Haratin, or Siwa?? [QUOTE][qb] Obenga made it clear that AfroAsiatic does not exist and you can not reconstruct the Proto-language.[/qb][/QUOTE]Yet this runs contrary to virtually all other linguists who are able to reconstruct the proto-language. You like Obenga still have yet to prove how Egyptian is related to Mande but not Semtic or Berber even though the latter two share the same syntax and grammar as well as vocabulary especially the farther back you go with their respective archaisms. [QUOTE][qb]There is no such thing as AfroAsiatic. [/qb][/QUOTE]So says you-- the same man who excludes Berber as 'European' even though Berber languages are spoken exclusively in Africa, yet you include Dravidian as African even though no Dravidian tongue is to be found anywhere near Africa, not even in Southwest Asia. :rolleyes: You are indeed the par-examplar of an Afronut.
