[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yom: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Rameses the Grea: [qb] The ancient Egyptian language although lacking in African roots was from the Afro-Asiatic family. It relates with the Berber language more than anything else. It depends on the time periods. [/qb][/QUOTE]Lacking in African roots??? Did you read anything that was addressed to you? The Afro-Asiatic family [b]originated in [i]Africa[/i][/b]. Egyptian is [b]not[/b] closer to Berber than other branches. The branches are relatively relatively equal in distance. However, there are suggestions (as per ausar), that Ancient Egyptian is closest to Beja of the other branches (if Beja is considered distinct from Cushitic, otherwise I assume closeness with Cushitic). Semitic is much closer to Berber than Egyptian. According to Zaborski, Egyptian is more distinct from Semitic, Berber, and Cushitic as a whole, than the three are from each other. [/QB][/QUOTE]
