[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] Rameses you have done nothing but make false statements without even making any attempts to back them up. It has been shown decades ago when linguists were still using the 'Hamito-Semitic' name for the phylum, that Egyptian was indeed 'Hamitic' [read: African] and NOT Semitic. Such findings were most notably made by E.A. Wallis Budge who shows that the Egyptian language was words that are monosyllabic in root like many African languages and not triliteral like Semitic languages. Of course years later, mor accurate linguistic classifications show that there was no division between 'Hamitic' and 'Semitic' so much as there being different branches or subfamilies. The relations between these subfamilies is still in debate, but what IS certain is that the whole phylum of Afrasian as it is called now, originated in Africa. Most scholars agree it is somewhere in the vicinity of Northeast Africa. Even proto-Semitic originated in Africa before it spread to southwestern Asia as noted by Afrasian experts like Christopher Ehret. Either way, Egyptian is NOT Semtic and it IS African. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
