Aksum-Ethiosemitic

Yes and what was already posted is "just another theory"- one that is exceedingly old and actually has little proof that Semitic existed as far back as 2000 BC. Kitchen et al. is a linguistic study by various linguists and is MUCH MORE recent (2009...)- it should at least get a mention so as to show any page reader and opposing view; a newer and more credible opposing view, at that.Awale-Abdi (talk) 17:08, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Sabaean theory was already noted. That said, Kitchen et al. (on which Ehret was a co-author) is actually from 2009 [1]. That paper also alludes to Ehret's theories from as far back as 1988. That's when he suggested that the introduction of early Ethiosemitic languages to the Horn of Africa may have been temporally associated with the development of some of the first indigenous complex societies. Of course, this suggestion is no longer tenable given the discoveries of the earlier, Ona culture at Sembel and Gash culture at Agordat. Both of these pre-Axumite civilizations are associated with Afro-Asiatic speakers of other, non-Semitic branches (specifically, Cushitic and Berber).

By the way, did you not say you were Warsangali? Middayexpress (talk) 17:25, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it is still evident that Ethiopian-Semitic via the study's own methods is not old enough to stretch back to 2000 BC. We can erase the part about it's part in the development of the local culture. Ethio-Semitic as the study finds does not go back farther than 1000 BC and that is a relevant part to add.

When did I ever tell you about my clan? Odd... Maybe I did... I don't remember. Was it when we were discussing genetics? I'm Warsangali and Dashishe on my father's side (my dad is the former founder of Netco, Ismail 'Haji' Abdi, if you've heard of the company) and my mother is Majeerteen with some Marehan and Ogaden ancestry (she's a relative of the late Abdullahi Yusuf, she's even met the man several times). I'm mostly just Darod tbh. Why do you ask?
