Fun fact: Chad means lake in Kanuri. Making Lake Chad to literally mean Lake Lake.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

This is common. When people of one language ask what is that called and the natives asnwer its a lake or a river or what not and thus river river or lake lake are quite common names where different people have interacted sharply and not gradually.

In Strasbourg is a lake called "Baggersee" in German (Excavation Lake) but "Lac Baggersee" in French (Lake Excavation Lake).

[@unanec]

This is so much common

[@MausOfTheHouse]

Nice argument, however, I have depicted myself as the Chad and you as the Yoruba

[@SockAccount111]

Fun fact, in italian "Yoruba" sounds like "I steal stuff" said with an heavy African accent, and since a lot of Nigerian immigrants to Italy are of Yoruba background, this often leads to funny misunderstandings

[@MausOfTheHouse]

@@SockAccount111 It's okay, Italians are basically black anyway

People: “What kind of language are you speaking?” Real men: “Chadic.”

Chad Chadic language Vs Virgin Arabic language

[@Xanthas998]

Everyone should develop their Chadic accent

[@Trolligi]

I guess all hausa speakers are automatically gigachads

[@ikengaspirit3063]

The fewness of Chadic Languages in Chad is disappointing.

[@deathlydashi]

They have saharan languages

[@Finti-jg1jj]

People from chad that actually do speak an Chadic language:🗿

[@Xanthas998]

They should change their name to Not Chad

[@iroquoianmapper]

Amazing video, but the first part of the video may not be entirely accurate, because Lake Chad used to be several times larger than it is now.

[@CostasMelas]

Thank you

[@anthrosapien3784]

Amazing! Can you do a video about the history and spread of Sikhism?

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

very chad-like language indeed

[@ikengaspirit3063]

You know, I would have expected there to still be some Chadic in the Sahara in late prehistory. Guess I was wrong.

[@CostasMelas]

They probably existed, quite sparse populations in their original cradle, but left no evidence of the language type they spoke

[@ikengaspirit3063]

How do they know where proto Chadic language was ? How do they know that different Chadic languages existed back in 3000 bce, before writting was even invented? From which date Chadic languages are attested?

[@АндрейБогуславский-б9о]

Apparently, the Chadian languages originated in the Sahara, when it was no longer a desert, but a blooming savannah. The video clearly shows how the Proto-Chadian peoples moved south-towards the retreating savannah

@@ikengaspirit3063 There is such a thing as " extrapolation" in linguistics. And there is also such a thing as cultural continuity. In short, it has its own science. Yes, there are probably certain assumptions here, but it's still interesting

Wasn't the lake Chad bigger in the past?

[@CostasMelas]

After 1970 the lake has become even smaller. It has been confined to the borders of Chad and Cameroon

[@ikengaspirit3063]

Wait, how do we know that Chadic languages originated North in the Sahara?.

[@CostasMelas]

Mainly by association with the Afroasiatic group but its true cradle remains in doubt

[@ikengaspirit3063]

@@CostasMelas I would have assumed AfroAsiatic connection would mean equally possible origin from the East. Or has it been proven to be closer to Berber than to Cushitic?. is there like any archeological culture it's associated with?.
