[QUOTE] "The Ancient Kemetic Language The Ancient Kemetic language has always been considered to be a branch of the African-Asiatic family of languages called Afro-Asiatic which spans Africa and Western Asia. Without going too deeply into the classification of the Afro-Asiatic language, according to Greenberg, the individual branches of the Afro-Asiatic family of languages include the following: (1) Semitic, the largest branch of the Afro-Asiatic language which is spoken since ancient times in most of Western Asia, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Syria, Arabia and Africa. The Semitic language has its origins in Africa. (2) Berber, a group of related languages currently spoken by approximately five million speakers in Northern Africa from the Atlantic coast to the oasis of Siwa in Kemet and from the Mediterranean Sea to Mali and Niger. (3) Cushitic, a family of languages spoken by approximately fifteen million people in Eastern Africa from the Kemetic border in North East Sudan to Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya and Northern Tanzania. Martin Bernal in his book, Black Athena, sees the spread of the Afro-Asiatic language as the expansion of a culture which was long established in the East African Rift Valley at the end of the last ice age in the 10th and 9th millennia B.C.E. During the last ice ages water was locked up in the polar icecaps and rainfall was considerably less than it is today. The Sahara and Arabian Deserts were even larger. During the increase of heat and rainfall in the centuries that followed, much of these regions became savannah, into which neighbouring peoples flocked. The most successful of these were speakers of Proto-Afro-Asiatic language from the African rift valley. Going through the savannah, the Chadic speakers reached Lake Chad while the Berbers, the Maghreb and the Proto-Kemite arrived in Upper Kemet. [b]However Martin Bernal did not consider speakers of Proto-Bantu in his analysis. It is the author’s contention, from the linguistic contents, that speakers of Proto-Bantu played an active part at the time of the expansion of Proto-Afro-Asiatic speakers in the Rift Valley of East Africa.These Proto-Bantu speakers going through the savannah formed part of the migration to Kemet. The Bantu languages together with other indigenous languages fused together and became embedded to form the Proto-Kemetic language. It is for this reason that the Ancient Kemetic language contains a substantial amount of Proto-Bantu or Bantu roots.[/b] [b]However Guthrie speculated that before the Proto-Bantu expansion from Zaire, there had been several pre-Bantu stages, at which time the Bantu ancestors lived far to the north around Lake Chad. One group from this area made its way to Zaire and became the Proto-Bantu.The Proto-Bantu speakers and Proto-Afro-Asiatic speakers lived along side each other. They traded together, shared and exchanged common vocabularies of words"[/b] [/QUOTE][IMG]http://oi63.tinypic.com/34h6ss2.jpg[/IMG] The Niger-Congo speakers are the only people on Earth with the "true Negroid" cranial morphology referenced by both Ricaut and Brace, and are the only population on Earth that could have also spread those sickle cell haplotypes (since our people's bloodline are the only way to pass it to offsprings). [IMG]http://www.languagesgulper.com/eng/Niger_files/droppedImage.jpg[/IMG] It's really not a mystery...Niger-Congo speakers once dominated Northeast Africa and including that African-Asian corridor where the Natufians resided....
