NILO-SAHARAN LANGUAGES

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
The Nilo-Saharan languages constitute a proposed language family spoken by about 70 million people, primarily along the upper regions of the Chari and Nile rivers, including historical Nubia. These languages are spread across 17 countries in northern Africa, from Algeria to Benin in the west, Libya to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the center, and Egypt to Tanzania in the east. Nilo-Saharan encompasses diverse linguistic divisions, with eight of them located in present-day Sudan and South Sudan, areas through which the Nile River passes. However, not all linguists accept this classification system.

It’s so impressive, and btw I didn’t expect there would be speakers in Algeria 🤩

Based on what I found, about 800 years ago, some Songhay speakers moved across 1500 km of desert to the small oasis of Tabelbala. The reasons are not really known from the quick searches I did, but conflicts in their homeland and droughts may have had a hand in it.

@@h1k0usen13like I said it did a quick search if you do a quick google search you can find what I found and I’d double check all websites that seem to talk about this language say the same the thing is because it’s not a big enough language there isn’t much known about it besides that from what I found and also stuff on linguistics like how 20% of its vocabulary comes from Berber and Arabic

0:48 "not all linguistis accept this classification" is what I call an understatement😅. I've heard this "family" being called "Joseph Greenberg's trash can". The English Wikipedia is even mentioning that (calling it wastebasket, which, maybe, sounds somewhat friendlier...)

Thank you for sharing.

This is really isn't a language family but rather languages that are neither Afro-Asiatic nor Niger-Congo, lumped together. "Nilotic" is a legit ethnolinguistic group but the hypothesised "Nilo-Saharan language family" is a much broader classification than what people refer to as "Nilotic" in Eastern Africa.

I was surprised to see Datooga here, I always read that it is a hunter-gatherer Cushitic language, even Mangbetu, I read that it is pretty much a language isolate that some grouped with Nilotic languages while others placed it with Niger-Congo, however some cannot classify it.

The Logorik language seems very original with numbers 6-9. The 6 is 3+3, 7 is 4+3, 8 is 4+4 and 9 is 5+4. Very unusual.

Seems often a base 5. In some languages, from the very start making 6 a 5+1 (or mathematical 10, base 5). I see this in the Songhai-languages only occurring with higher numbers... so 1111 would be 2x500 2x50, ten and one.
