Africa is so diverse that it takes bitesize chunks of regions to explore. In this video we look at the languages of Northwest Africa, its native languages not Arabic, which fall broadly in to Nilo-Sarahan, Berber and Songhay groups, and stretch from the Maghreb south of Spain to the Sahel beyond the Sahara Desert. This is a vast region, with a long, fascinating history which has shaped its languages and cultures.

Can't wait for Americas! There aren't so mich languages, so it would be better to make a big video with all America, not dividing it in South and North. Anyway, you're one of the best linguists. Your series about Pictish helped me with my Pictish project. Thank you, and continue this series, please!

9:31 the real poignant tragedy in my eyes is the total loss of Christianity and Latinity down there. One thing is accepting a situation like Syria, with Christians a distinct minority, one thing is the total eradication of a culture.

@CastChaos 2 месяца назад

So many languages (and events and places) I never even heard about! :O I spoke sometimes with a person who identified himself as "Berber" and nothing else (so, not a country name from North Africa). Also, the Arabian assault conquest from the Arabian Peninsula through the whole of North Africa, even to the Iberian Peninsula (including the desolation of an empire so iconic and ancient like Egypt) always amazed me. However, as you mentioned, this is genocide looked away, so that also makes me uneasy. And that's an entire different story altogether.

@BenLlywelyn 2 месяца назад

The loss of the Egyptian Language to Arabisation is a tragedy in what we have lost.

@kunatix7033 2 месяца назад

Arabs massacred us in the 8th century but it wasn't a genocide, we massacred the Arabs too during the Great Berber Revolt, most of North Africa is populated by arabized berbers. We are all genetically berbers but the majority got arabized especially during the 20th century in Algeria and Morocco for nationalist purposes.

This series is really good. Waiting for the click sounds languages of Africa and surprisingly i found a click in Europe. Including myself and in Romania, the tsk click wich means no. In Turkey this tsk meaning no its the most widespread. It definatevely comes from the oldest language, Gobleki Tepe people. I assume the Tsk click for no could be celtic as it is in Romania too, maybe Bulgaria also.( in Bulgaria they also shake heads like no, for ies wich is very confusing and same like the bosimani, the San).

My family and I speak Shilha and I know about the phoenician, arabic and spanish influence in our language, but I would like to know examples of hebrew and aramaic influence because I can't see it, do you have any?

@BenLlywelyn 2 месяца назад

We will need to find someone who can speak both Hebrew / Aramaic and Shilha, I would say. The point, however is these two lived with each other for nearly 2,000 years and even created Judeo-Berber Languages - it is near impossible for Hebrew and Aramaic not to have influenced Shilha.

@kunatix7033 2 месяца назад

@@BenLlywelyn I am pretty sure Aramaic has not any influence whatsoever on shilha. Also I think Hebrew has a very little influence, most berber jews didn't speak Hebrew, only berber, so Hebrew couldn't have a lasting influence on berber. Also Jews have been here for more than 2000 years, so they stopped using Hebrew a long time ago.

A Berber language that also was lost is Guanche, the language spoken by the native Berbers of the Canary Islands who had a vibrant culture with songs dresses and Gods and who like the Egyptians had a way to mummify their dead, speakers of Guanche were massacred by the Spanish with the remainder of them becoming spanish, today the Canary Islands are just like any other Spanish region and today the Guanche language is dead

@BenLlywelyn 2 месяца назад

Diolch yn fawr, Ben. The Romans considered only three languages to be civilized: Latin, Greek and Punic (Carthaginian). The Egyptians considered the Libyans - there word for all the Berber peoples - to speak in a way that only made them fit for slavery. And now the Arabs have arrived with an obscure 7th century proto-Arabic from the Peninsula (now called Classical Arabic) that is wreaking linguistic genocide on Africa. Add to that the nutter American Evangelicals who are driving the languages south of the Sahel into extinction through Anglo-Christianization.

@yodesuyo 2 месяца назад

Arabization is pretty recent in Morocco, it only started after the french colonization because france saw that arabs are easier to rule sinc only amazigh tribes fought them to the death. So 70 years of arabization only in Morocco not centuries like many believe. Morocco defeated the omeyyads (assyrians+arabs+egyptians) in 740 and arabs never came back since then. all the so called arabs in Morocco are amazigh people victims of the Arabization process

@BenLlywelyn 2 месяца назад

Fascinating.

@stephenchappell7512 2 месяца назад

That's pretty much the standard story across the MENA nation's as Arabia being an empty land could not overwhelm its subjects genetically nor linguistically resulting in the assimilation process taking centuries

@yodesuyo 2 месяца назад

True, National georgraphic did a DNA study n Tunisia (where historically, omeyyads stayed longer) and found that 88% of tunisians have amazigh DNA and only 4% was from the middle east. Another study in Iberia by Oxford found that 11% of Iberian DNA is Amazigh from Morocco mostly and 0% Arab, which shows that arabs are just a myth in both Morocco and Andalusia. Unfortunately, this cultural appropriation is funded by petrodollars
