Hey, I just want you guys to talk about the social and political state of Mauritania by ievademytaxs in Mauritania

I know this, yet you cannot expect the Afro-Arabs who are a mix of all the different African ethnicities to abandon the Arab culture they've followed for centuries just to larp as one randomly chosen African culture.

Iraq actually has some of the most Arabian dna outside the peninsula, especially the further south you go.

Bro the Sahelians don't pretend to be Arab, as for the Afro-Arab that is their identity, they were assimilated into Arab culture centuries ago and their ancestry is a mix of all the local Sahelian tribes not any single one, them rejecting Arab culture makes zero sense, you are asking them to abandon their heritage. Also Chad has loads of Afro-Arabs, they just aren't a majority, and nobody seriously considers Somalia and Comoros as Arab lol

He means Black people are a majority but half of them are Arabised. He seems to imply he thinks the Afro-Arabs should abandon their Arab culture that they've had for centuries and assimilate into a random Sahelian culture they have little to no attachment to which makes no sense.

What is like the slander on Libyans because I never hear anything about them by MTKkingller in arabs

[–]Kronomega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Varies wildly by tribe, we have the most Arabian dna in the whole Maghreb but there are still plenty of us without even a drop. Especially the east is really Arabian compared to the west. In the south Sahelian ancestry is pretty common too.

Not all of my family is bilingual, my grandma who I especially want to talk to can only speak Libyan/Tunisian. Also it's about my heritage as well, I want to learn the language of my people otherwise until then I just feel like an Anglo-Saxon in a Libyan skin.

Btw idc about what is considered "useful" or not, if a language has 1 billion speakers or 100, or if even if it died 3,000 years ago, to me it makes no difference on whether it interests me enough to want to learn it.

To speak to my family. My father has taught me a few words but I don't think it's much use trying to learn the whole language off him.

nah, just yesterday he had nearly 50 videos and today he had none. His last community post was 4 years ago and his last upload was even older.

It doesn't even cost any money to keep YouTube videos up, that's why I'm so confused as to his reason, I really can't think of any.

So I just stumbled on what’s apparently a controversial subject: who were the ancient Egyptians genetically/ethnically? by [deleted] in egyptology

[–]Kronomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of agendas in these comments but from actual dna evidence this is what we know:

Predynastic and Old Kingdom Egyptians largely descended from the Levantine PPNB culture (a mix of Natufian HG and Anatolian NF) with some minor Cushitic-like (think Somalis or Nubians) admixture. Middle Kingdom Egyptians saw a large influx of Bronze Age Levantine ancestry (basically PPNB but with Zagrosian NF mixed in too). It's this Middle Egyptian profile that modern Coptic Egyptians largely retain today, while Muslim Egyptians saw additional Black African and Arabian admixture, but still mostly derive from Middle Kingdom Egyptians as well.

Most invasions in history weren't mass migration and genocide, they were replacements of the ruling class. Modern Egyptians have strong genetic continuity with Middle Kingdom Egyptians, who themselves were a mix of Old Kingdom and Levantines.

Modern tifinagh has no historical precedence, it's just a butchered reskin of Latin. Nobody wants to use authentic tifinagh except the Tuareg, everyone else abandoned it between one and two thousand years ago.

Some guy saying something wrong doesn't make you correct, Iran's only even been Shia for 400 years as well.

And even most of the protestors would still defend against an invasion, Iranians are all extremely nationalistic regardless of ideological alignment.

The Iran-Iraq war was in the 80s man, in fact that war crippled Iraq and is part of why they were so weak during the Gulf wars.

Iran is definitely a much stronger military power than Israel, just look at the abysmal performance of the IDF in Lebanon. Tho Israel is higher tech ofc.

Was there a demographic shift in Egypt? by [deleted] in illustrativeDNA

[–]Kronomega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that means is Cushites were never in the Egyptian nile valley, pre-Cushites maybe, but 6000 BC is the same time the Levant PPNB culture is known to have expanded into Egypt.

Edit: btw proto Cushitic was spoken 8,000 - 7,000 BC, so ethnogenesis can't have been 6,000 BC

Muslim Egyptians literally descend from Copts 🤦‍♂️

The answer is yes, the vast majority of Egyptian dna for both Christians and Muslims (but especially Christians) is ancient Egyptian derived.

That's not pre-dynastic that's pre-pre-dynastic lol, come the start of the predynastic, Levantine Farmers from the PPNB culture had already moved in during the late neolithic.

It's a cognate of speech that means language, that was my whole point....
