South Cushitic languages

The South Cushitic or Rift languages of Tanzania belong to the Afro-Asiatic family. The most numerous is Iraqw, with half a million speakers. These languages are believed to have been originally spoken by Southern Cushite agro-pastoralists from Ethiopia, who in the third millennium BC began migrating southward into the Great Rift Valley.

Classification

The Rift languages are named after the Great Rift Valley of Tanzania, where they are found.

Hetzron (1980:70ff) suggested that the Rift languages (South Cushitic) are a part of Lowland East Cushitic. Kießling & Mous (2003) have proposed more specifically that they be linked to a Southern Lowland branch, together with Oromo, Somali, and Yaaku–Dullay. It is possible that the great lexical divergence of Rift from East Cushitic is due to Rift being partially relexified through contact with Khoisan languages, as perhaps evidenced by the unusually high frequency of the ejective affricates /tsʼ/ and /tɬʼ/, which outnumber pulmonary consonants like /p, f, w, ɬ, x/. Kießling & Mous suggest that these ejectives may be remnants of clicks from the source language.

Cushitic languages

The Cushitic languages are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family spoken primarily in the Horn of Africa (Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Ethiopia), as well as the Nile Valley (Sudan and Egypt), and parts of the African Great Lakes region (Tanzania and Kenya). The branch is named after the Biblical character Cush, who is identified as an ancestor of the speakers of these specific languages as early as 947 CE (in Al-Masudi's Arabic history Meadows of Gold).

The most populous Cushitic language is Oromo (including all its variations) with about 35 million speakers, followed by Somali with about 18 million speakers, and Sidamo with about 3 million speakers. Other Cushitic languages with more than one million speakers are Afar (1.5 million) and Beja (1.2 million). Somali, one of the official languages of Somalia, is the only Cushitic language accorded official status in any country. Along with Afar, it is also one of the recognized national languages of Djibouti.

Additionally, the languages spoken in the ancient Kerma Culture in present-day southern Egypt and northern Sudan and in the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic culture in the Great Lakes area are believed to have belonged to the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family.

#cushites #oromo #somali The Iraqw People. Welcome to Afroartista Films. In today's video, we investigate the Iraqw, a Southern Cushitic ethnic group living in Tanzania. The following are ten remarkable facts about these people. 1. The Iraqw are a Cushitic-speaking ethnic group who live in northern Tanzania. They are a prominent group that formed in the north-central Tanzanian districts of southern Arusha and northwestern Manyara, near the Rift Valley. 2. The Iraqw have long been thought to be descendants of Afro-Asiatic peoples who practiced agricultural and animal husbandry in the Great Lakes region. The Iraqw are said to have originated in Ethiopia, namely in the Oromia region near Harar and Dire Dawa. 3. The Iraqw speak the Iraqw language as their mother tongue, which is part of the Afro-Asian family's South Cushitic branch. Iraqw speakers are also fluent in Swahili, Tanzania's native language. 4. A thorough anthropological examination of the ethnic Iraqw reveals that they have strong similarities with other Cushitic-speaking groups in general. The Iraqw, however, have some phenotypic linkages with local Bantu communities due to intermarriage with the neighboring Tanzanian populations. 5. Recent developments in genetic studies have thrown some insight on the Iraqw people's ethno genesis. The E1b1b haplogroup has been shown to be present in 56% of Iraqis. This indicates that they are mostly Cushitic in origin. The Iraqw's second most common paternal lineage was Haplogroup B, which is typical in Nilotic groups. It is observed in 22% of Iraqi males. The E1b1a haplogroup, which is very common among Bantus and is found in 11% of the Iraqw, was the third most frequently observed paternal DNA marker. 6. According to current estimates, the Iraqw number around 1,000,000 people. Their primary habitat is in the Mbulu Highlands of the northern Manyara Region. It has long been noted for its intense farming and has been referred to as a "island" inside a matrix of less intensive farming. The Iraqw also dominate in the areas surrounding Karatu town in the Arusha region. 7. The Iraqw may be Afro-Asian Neolithic populations who settled in Northern Kenya and later moved south due to clashes with Nilotic and Bantu peoples; this hypothesis has been confirmed by remains discovered in Kenya's Kerio Valley that testify to the presence of Neolithic farmers who used complex irrigation systems similar to those still in use in Iraqw fields. The area was subsequently abandoned due to an epidemic pestilence, which may have been the cause of the Iraqw migration south. 8. Many foreign groups have been assimilated into Iraqi culture. The majority of the latter are Nilotic (particularly Datoga) and Bantu in ancestry. 9. The Iraqw, like the Maasai and the Datoga, measure their wealth in terms of the number of livestock they own, but unlike the other two groups, they are large-scale farmers as well as livestock keepers. 10. The Iraqw are predominantly Christian, due to the efforts of Western missionaries. A small minority is Muslim and the rest adhere to various animist beliefs. They celebrate a number of rites, the most prominent of which is male circumcision, which symbolizes the journey to adulthood and involves youngsters aged 3 to 10 years. Thanks for watching.

Stay happy! Please support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=16809442. Please support me on Ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/otipeps0124 The Afroasiatic languages are a language family of about 400 languages spoken predominantly in Western Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of the Sahara and Sahel. Over 500 million people are native speakers of an Afroasiatic language, constituting the fourth-largest language family after Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, and Niger–Congo. Most linguists divide the family into six branches: Berber, Chadic, Cushitic, Egyptian, Semitic, and Omotic. The vast majority of Afroasiatic languages are considered indigenous to the African continent, including all those not belonging to the Semitic branch.

South Cushitic languages

The South Cushitic or Rift languages of Tanzania belong to the Afro-Asiatic family. The most numerous is Iraqw, with half a million speakers. These languages are believed to have been originally spoken by Southern Cushite agro-pastoralists from Ethiopia, who in the third millennium BC began migrating southward into the Great Rift Valley.

Classification

The Rift languages are named after the Great Rift Valley of Tanzania, where they are found.

Hetzron (1980:70ff) suggested that the Rift languages (South Cushitic) are a part of Lowland East Cushitic. Kießling & Mous (2003) have proposed more specifically that they be linked to a Southern Lowland branch, together with Oromo, Somali, and Yaaku–Dullay. It is possible that the great lexical divergence of Rift from East Cushitic is due to Rift being partially relexified through contact with Khoisan languages, as perhaps evidenced by the unusually high frequency of the ejective affricates /tsʼ/ and /tɬʼ/, which outnumber pulmonary consonants like /p, f, w, ɬ, x/. Kießling & Mous suggest that these ejectives may be remnants of clicks from the source language.
