102. Dravidian, Mande And Elamite Attempt at showing a genetic relationship among four language groups not normally thought of as related. http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bay/7051/elam2.htm

Dravidian, Mande and Elamite By Clyde Winters In this Web page we learn about the linguistic relationship between the Dravdian, Mande, Elamite and Sumerian languages. THE GENETIC UNITY OF BLACK AFRICAN ,ELAMITE, DRAVIDIAN AND SUMERIAN LANGUAGES by Clyde A. Winters A genealogical relationship exist between the Black African, Dravidian, Elamite and Sumerian languages. This is not surprising because African languages were used by Rawlinson, to decipher the cuneiform script. We must consider the historical link between languages assumed to possess a genealogical relationship, although they are separated by thousands of miles. The anthropological factors involved in determining a genealogical relationship is the scientific study of the cognate origin, and the physical, social and cultural development and behavior of related groups. This has already been done in the earlier chapters in regards to the Black African, Puntite and Dravidian languages. We have already shown that there is a connection between the basic vocabularies and identical constituent structures and grammatical categories. The Elamites, Dravidians, Sumerians and Manding are all of

105. Sango Language Page - Handbook Of African Language Resources (ASC)(MSU) This page has information and facts on the Sango languages, such as where it is spoken, and by whom. http://www.isp.msu.edu/AfrLang/Sango_root.html

Sango Language Page 1 CLASSIFICATION AND WHERE SPOKEN Sango, the lingua franca related to Ngbandi of Adamawa Eastern, is spoken primarily in the Central African Republic, where it is widespread. In addition, one finds some limited usage in border areas of neighboring countries, especially Chad. 2 NUMBER OF SPEAKERS Grimes (1996; citing UBS 1995) gives a figure of 4.9 million speakers. Earlier estimates ranged from one million (Voegelin and Voegelin 1977) and 1.5 million (Thomas 1981) to 1.8 million UBS (1982), including first- and second-language speakers. 3 DIALECT SURVEY Samarin considers the relationship between Sango and Ngbandi to be analogous to that of African Pidgin English, while Thomas (1981) is content to say that Sango and Ngbandi are similar enough to be considered dialects. 4 USAGE Sango is a national language of the Central African Republic and has great importance as a commercial language on the Ubangi River throughout this area. Sango is frequently broadcast on radio and television by Radio-Television Centrafricaine. 5 ORTHOGRAPHIC STATUS Since January 28, 1984, the government of the Central African Republic has codified by law the official orthography of Sango based on research by l'Institut National d'Éducation de Formation and l'Institut de Linguistique Appliquée, University of Bangui, Ministry of Education and Educational Reform (Diki-Kidiri, personal communication, 1985). Current orthographic work by these institutions involves elaborating an orthographic dictionary and developing materials using the new official orthography.

119. Contact Languages In The Bantu Area A paper on africanbased pidgins and creoles. http://humanities.uchicago.edu/faculty/mufwene/mufw_bantucon.html

CONTACT LANGUAGES IN THE BANTU AREA Salikoko S. Mufwene University of Chicago 1. INTRODUCTION It is possible to interpret the phrase ìcontact languageî synonymously with ìlingua franca,î viz., as that variety that enables two or more (groups of) individuals speaking different vernaculars to communicate when they come in contact with each other. The fact that, consistent with its title, Status and use of African lingua francas, Heine (1970) includes several traditional African languages whose morphosyntax is not significantly restructured may encourage this interpretation. However, this essay is only on a subset of that long list, focusing on varieties that have been identified misguidedly as pidgins or creoles (see below). This essay is primarily on (Kikongo-) Kituba and on Lingala, both spoken in the two Congo Republics, as well as on Fanakalo (also spelled Fanagalo), spoken primarily in South Africa today but formerly also in the mining belt stretching all the way north to the Shaba province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and on Pidgin Ewondo , spoken in Cameroon. (See Map 1) These are the most commonly cited contact languages in the literature in relation to the Bantu area. The reason for this practice may be their highly simplified morphosyntaxes relative to their lexifiers (those languages from which they have inherited most of their vocabularies). Below, I refer to them as a group with the acronym KILIFAPE.
