[QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] I actually have this book and it is excellent. Here is Mboli's reconstruction and new language models. [IMG]http://www.asarimhotep.com/images/stories/10008393_10201531091614427_357859812_n.jpg[/IMG] It is totally different from what you will read in most linguistic literature. He keeps Obenga's Negro-Egyptian, but Proto-Negro-Egyptian breaks up into two dialects: bere and beer. These are based on how the vowels are treated by each group, as well as the prefixes and suffixes. Excellent work. He also reaffirms something I've been saying on this very forum for a number of years now, that Coptic is not the last stage of Egyptian. It is a totally different language. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb] In addition to Obenga's new book,L'égyptien pharaonique: une langue négro-africaine, mentioned in this thread by Asar Imhotep. Here's another book which also built on his pioneer work: [IMG]http://portail.izibook.com/images/thumbnails/0002/3720/9782296540866r_large.jpg[/IMG] Origine des langues africaines: essai d'application de la méthode by Jean-Claude Mboli I don't have the book, only read some excerpt off the web, but after explaining the comparative methodology, debunking Greenberg classification among other things. He use the comparative method to compare Middle Egyptian, Copte, Sango (his native language), Zande, Hausa, Somali. Proving that they are genetically linked. Combined with Obenga's new book in which he compares Ancient Egyptian with Niger-Congo family languages (and Bahr El-Ghazal language which I don't know their family). This should provides another fundamental entry into African comparative linguistic and history. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
