Many thanks, costas.. very informative presentation. ..... But some observations: - Oromo -somali split is much younger than the age you gave as the Middle bronze period. The split happened, perhaps, around iron age II period or later. The Rendile-boni cluster is no longer a valid category. Rendile is pre-hawiye somali while Bonis were somalized koisan hunter gatherers. Ancient somalis migrated wholesale to Kenya first, and then, re-migrated into somalia in small waves at a later period.

The oromo only came into the picture when they migrated into the area in the 1500s and wedged themselves in between the somalis and the rest of the groups. Somalis don't consider themselves ethiopian but neither did any of the other groups until ethiopias imperial expansion in the 1800/1900s. The only group that didn't fall to it and was always outside the influence or power of the amharas was the somalis.

I never liked the name "Cushitic" for our language family as it is a misnomer that implies that related to the Kushites AKA Nubians. When really, it should have been called "Eritrean" or "Erythrian" since it originated in the Red Sea coast and it is still present there. Hell, even "Puntite" or "Puntic" woulda more appropriate than Cushitic smh.😮‍💨

You Imperialist Amhara have no rights to call another Cushitic tribe that was present in the horn before you Semitics came down from southern Arabia. So sit back and keep eating your raw meat. Stop worrying about the original tribes of the horn.

@@Land_of_Punt kush is Sudan. Stop stealing history. You're not indigenous to this land. Go back to your tropical moqadisho Abeed. Desperate xomali still looking for allies 😄😄 where are your Arab masters?

[@Land_of_Punt]

@@Zeyede_Seyum just shows how uneducated you are. Is Mogadishu not in the Horn of Africa? First of all Kush and Cushitic are different. Kush was an empire made up of ethnic Nilotic tribes whereas Cushitic is a family tribe comprising of Somalis, Oromos, Afars, Saho, Beja etc. I don’t really care about the name Cushitic it can be called anything it wouldn’t matter. But if Somalis are not indigenous to the horn then please tell me how we share so much similarities with other Cushitic tribes when it comes to language and culture. And why is it that Amharic and Tigrinya are both Semitic languages which means you share more similarities with the Arabic and Hebrew languages than that of your neighbouring tribes isn’t that strange? Before you impose your own habesha history on Somalis it’s you guys that were driven out by the Arabs we been here and always will. Maybe you should put down the raw meat and pick up a book you might learn a thing or two.

It ends up in the main branches, not in the languages which are too many. Dullay for example includes nine languages (Ale, Dihina, Dobase, Gaba, Gergere, Gollango, Gorrose, Harso and Tsamai). The Maay belong to the Somali branch.

[@teddyissak2720]

There is absolutely no evidence for this theory. Beja originated from Paleolithic red sea region, and they are native to Egypt and Sudan. Agaw languages is isolated, also there is no proof of Somali being spoken in 1800 B.C. The origin inhabitant of that land were the Harlas and their language doba and geysinan which used spoken up until 900 A.D.

[@rarelife1]

There is ample evidence to show that the Cushitic languages are related and existed for thousands of years, which is why it is accepted by most academics. And the Somali language is an ancient language spoken by the Somali people for thousands of years. Everything else you said is nonsense and false.

[@teddyissak2720]

@@rarelife1 If there is any evidence for this claim then show me ? I am talking about Historical proof. not some layman opinion. From what archeologists have discovered, the people called "Cushites" and the place called "Cush" is a kingdom which flourished in Sudan (around the east bank of the Nile river). What is the evidence Somalis or Oromos coming from there ?
