we share the same culture and same concept of life. we are from the same stock .saying we only share language similarities is bogus to say the least . at what period are those trades? agai i'm talking prior-during the migration, besides Igbos are Bantu. Black Kenichi:in few words Bantu didn't go south and east because they feared West Af, as u early assumed. |

Igbos are not Bantus, they are Igboids (w/e that is) they do not speak a Bantu language. The only Bantu group currently in Nigeria are the TIV and they are considered Semi-Bantu 2 Likes 1 Share |

Fulaman198:language classifications are not always accurate ,and can't really b used to determine the origin or nature of a group of people. livin int the mids of different and many languages esp in a country like Nigeria can create a lot of alterationsin the way people speak their own languages, what i'm saying is a lot of languages today were different 200 years ago. if u were a white men trying to classify pidgin what would say? anglo saxoid? how do u say advertisement in hausa? |

onila: we dont have wide, round faces Let us not act like Ayanle/Somali now, There are bantu people who do not have wide, round faces as well. All your Congolese singers are Bantu.

CAMEROONPRIDE: Pidgin is a language that is a Germanic language, it is derived from English (it is a dialect of English), however there is no such thing as a Pidgin ethnic group because Pidgin is spoken by most people in Anglophone West Africa. Even Patois which is what Jamaicans speak is classified as a Germanic English language. Talla I believe is how you say advertisement in Hausa (but it means Promotion like to promote a product). |

Fulaman198: The only Nilotes we have in West Africa are the Kanuri (Beri-beri), and the various Songhai groups (Djerma/Zarma, Dendi, Sonrai Korya chinni, etc).Technically they're not Nilotic. They're Nilo-Saharan. Nilotic is a branch of the Nilo-Saharan Language Phylum. Also Nilotics and Chadic/Central Saharan look different from each other. Fulaman198: Wodabe Fulani like all Mbororo roots Fulani like myself (those who have always reared-cattle) are of Senegambian origin with roots also in Northern West Africa pre-Arabs. Touaregs are original Berbers who also have roots in North Africa.That's true. However many West Africans have their origins further north as well. You gotta remember that the Sahara area only stated to become a desert about 8-9 kya. Fulaman198: We are not related to Cushitic people but share some cultural similarities with them.I'll take your word for it. Fulaman198: I still believe that all west Africans though must have some root in present day Sudan. Sudan like Nigeria is one country that contains all the language groups of Africa.I think the origins of Niger-Kordofanian West Africans is around Chad and the Darfur Area. The fact that most West African men are y-DNA Haplogroup E-M2/E1b1a seems to be that it was a founder effect. Also scientists have found out that the Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1c/E-M329 is actually part of the E-M2. Thus E-M2 is now being called E-V38. Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1c/E-M329 is found mainly amongst Omotic speaking men. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E1b1a I'd say that Niger-Kordofanian West Africans were originally a highly bottlenecked Central Saharan group. This bottlenecking (inbreeding) caused them to form their own African genetic cluster! |

Black Kenichi: Chadic is a sub-division of Afro-Asiatic languages, Chadic languages are almost all Afro-Asiatic. Hausa is a Chadic Afro-Asiatic language for example. Also the Songhai do resemble Nilotic people as do the Kanuri who are also of the Nilo-Saharan group as well. |

CAMEROONPRIDE: so u agree me with that the origins of pidgin don't make the west Af pidgin speakers saxon or germans right? This is a different philosophy though. I understand where you are coming from though. What you are saying is that just because someone is of a particular ethnic group does not make them officially part of that ethnic group. You are saying that it is possible a Bantu became assimilated into Igboid culture or w/e right? The same way the Tukulors of Senegal/Mauritania became "Fulbenized" (Fulani influenced and only can identify with Fulani today but they are not ethnically Fulani). |
