[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] I hope you pay attention to the examples he provide for Proto-African terms you will note that most proto-African terms are*-vcv, *cvcv , and very little evidence of aspiration. After reviewing the proto-African terms cited in the text you may recognize my concern about oboli's Negro-Egyptian reconstructions. [/qb][/QUOTE]I can't discuss much the validity of books I don't have. Just to make it clear, since it seems you're talking to me. I didn't read Mboli's book so I know almost nothing about his reconstruction. I also have some interrogations about the little I read about it. What I support is [URL=http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6195/tableaunegroegyptienthe.png]Obenga's Negro-Egyptian classification[/URL] . What is proposed seems to be in line with other bio(genetic)-archeological line of evidence (E-P2,etc). It is also somewhat very close to the mainstream viewpoints about African languages classification. It only add a common ancestor language at the top of well known African language families. Considering all African languages families are said to have originated in the same approximate area in Eastern Africa by mainstream linguistic, it seems to make sense those African people shared a common language further back in time ("Niger-Saharan" is already proposed by other linguists). They also share common ancestor genes like E-P2. [/qb][/QUOTE]Sorry, I thought you had said you had read the pages from Mboli's work at Google books. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
