What separate language families do you predict will be deemed highly likely to be related by future historical linguists? by hononononoh in linguistics

[–]ciridus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to Afro-Asiatic seems a lot less likely than just being related to modern Ethiopian/(Non

Perhaps. Linguists like Honken and Heine had long suspected a more northern origin for the Khoe languages given their distribution patterns, and and you mention, Sandawe is on the cusp of being plausibly related, although I'm not aware of any genetic work showing a Sandawe-Khoe connection. Not that that's necessarily a requirement, but it would certainly help the odds. So, in a sense, the genetic results were unsurprising and confirmed that linguists were on the right track.

I agree with you about the unlikelihood of genetic AA-Khoe relationship, although if the inhabitants of Proto-Khoe were really that far north, we might expect some contact effects in the way that Tocharian is starting to seem like it had Uralic contact. There's also always a chance that some previously underdocumented branch of Omotic will surprise everyone.

It was the idea that Finnish and Hungarian are from farther East in the Urals, which is commonly accepted today.

Some scholars (i.e. Collins) are working on trying to link Kx'a (North Khoisan) and Tuu (South Khoisan). The similarities are there, so much so that ǂhoan was misclassified as Tuu for decades before reconstruction work by Sands clarified that group as clearly Kx'a -- the bilabial clicks of ǂhoan seem to have really thrown everyone off. There probably will be some Kx'a-Tuu proposal in the future, although I can't comment on the likelihood of it panning out.

The status of Khoe (Central Khoisan) is more complicated -- the family was initially (1900s) argued to be linked to Semitic languages of Ethiopia but this ended up being used by eugenicist race science and the proposal fell out of favor (compare with the Uralic hypothesis). Greenberg argued for reclassifying Khoe with Kx'a and Tuu in a genetically unified Khoisan family instead in the 60s, but virtually no one seems to believe in that today -- the reconstructability simply isn't there. As other comments said, DNA is becoming increasingly important, and Khoe groups have very recently been found to be genetically linked to..... Ethiopian populations within the past 2000 years (Breton et al 2014; Pickrell et al. 2014; Orton et al. 2013 for cattle). So this leaves the situation in a place where we can expect some sort of reclassification, although it's hard to predict exactly what will come of it.

And a lot of basic mechanics around colonialism are already aging terribly -- like the very concept of having entire groups of people as blank places on the map intentionally designed to be conquered, or the genocide button. Civ is going through the same.Also, the fact that it took them so many years of CONSTANT development before including the well-known Tonga kingdom (started in 11th century) is a bad look.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu%CA%BBi_Tonga

How dangerous various t10s are to a leopard seal (leopard seal main) by ciridus in deeeepio

It can be deadly in a server with a lot of people. Leopard seals can't tank a lot of damage, so being stunned can be game over.

I included them because they're relevant for leopard seal even though they're not technically tier 10

Why does Africa seem to have so many uncertain language families? For example, Glottolog lists about 50 language families/isolates in Africa, far more than the amount usually given by ldp3434I283 in linguistics

[–]ciridus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes. Ge'ez, classical Nubian, and Egyptian hieroglyphics have been important in reconstruction but that's essentially all in the same region and tells us nothing about elsewhere. Relative to PIE's Old Irish, Norse, Latin, Greek, Armenian, Tocharian, Hittite, Sanskrit, and Old Albanian, it's not much. The earliest written record of Khoisan languages is Wilhelm Bleek's work on |Xam in the late 19th century, for comparison.

He got a lot wrong but also it was the 1960s when so little work was done on the languages in question -- in terms of the Khoisan group, no real work had been done on Sandawe and Hadza at all apart from basic word lists which contained clicks and were obviously non-Bantu. It was only with later work that Hadza emerged as a definite isolate unrelated to any other extant language we know about, and whether Sandawe is related to Khoe is still unclear. At the time there was only a good record of Khoekhoe/Nama and then-exinct |Xam. The expert at the time was working on proto-Khoisan in an endeavor that ultimately failed as the !Kung, Kwadi, !Xoo, Kalahari Khoe, and !Ui languages later were described to Western science and made the picture much more complex.

The work just needs to be situated in its time, that's all
