To be honest though, so many Nigerians look exactly like what you see on those pics, without bleaching or make up. There are lots of very beautiful southern Nigerian women as well on average. But l'm not telling you, rather l'm talking to the Ethiopians here.

Hahah ah Nigerians an looks..man ya killing it

If pidgin evolves into a new language, it would be a Germanic language with a Germanic structure just like English. Meanwhile Swahili is a Bantu language with a Bantu structure. I hope you got me.

Kk.
Holly just like Kaylinda asked, i also want to ask, do swahili people identify as Bantu people? I really doubt they do. Cos their looks n culture appear very arabic.

***Pidgin would now be native to black africans if it evolves, but swahili a bantu language, is it native to people who identify as bantus/black africans?

NairobiWalker:


That literally translates to 'Father Vagina' in Swahili.

The father is dsame but d latter though kumawood

Actually Swahili people is a very unclear term that generally refers to a group of coastal people who have Swahili as a first language and yes, they do identify as Bantus.

That aside, languages are not classified based on what the speakers identify as but based on the structure. Just a random question though, why are you guys trying so hard to prove Swahili is not Bantu? Lol, it just sounds weird.

Pidgin will still be a Germanic language unless it evolves into something just super-different from what it is now. Just like Creole.

PissedYagami:
ArtanK, what do you think about this map?

This map was made by a Somali person almost 10 years ago. It feeds into the fears of every Somali that they're nation will be absorbed by its neighbours. It's not realistic. It's supposed to serve as a wake up call for Somalis to get their shit together.

And yes, I'm from the extreme north eastern corner of Somalia, literally the tip of the horn.

Lol. He sometimes looks that way.
Here is his latest music with the beautiful Tanzanian star singer Vanessa Mdee. The song is a hit and ranking among top African charts

***D banj even looks older in that picture (with those side beards) if you ask me. Often, he doesn't keep side beards which makes him look younger.
Do you follow Nigerian music in ET?

I will watch it when I'm on WIFI, since it's very expensive on cellular.

I often listen 4-5 Nigerian songs as far as I remember. My favorite is D-banj song for African cup of nations 2013 called "Top of the world".

Nigeria musics are very great, but most of I listened and the clips I saw show western characters than Nigerian culture. Am I correct?

Listen 13 songs from the newly album of Teddy Afro. Track 14 is missing. you will not going to understand the language, but I guess music has no language boundaries.

Naaah, i don't think am trying hard to prove swahili is not Bantu.
>>>The language is of bantu structure but too many words in it are not bantu and not just that, the evolution of the language was made possible by the arab traders which formed the identity n culture of the swahili natives.
****From what i have read just now about the swahili people, there is absolutely no way they can identify proudly as Bantu people. Many/most of them take pride in their arab ancestry and arabic origin of their cultures. Of course, this is easy, courtesy to islam.
Apparently, most swahili people identified as Arab during Kenyan colonialism n were given special status.

@Hati13, thank you so much.

***Sincerely, i love Horn african music so much. I accidentally came across amharic musics on a tv channel some time ago and i loved them so much. I love the way they danced, the cultural displays et al.

I wish i could understand amharic

When are Ethiopian artistes going to make their music more international? We other africans would love your musics n patronize your artistes if you make your music more international.

My goodness, I just realized the sort of low life I been dealing with all this time. Nowenuse, can you maybe tell us what you did at school? You dont sound intelligent. Nigerian footballers are ugly because they train in the scorching sun!!! You need to write a book about that, also explaining that they are dark skinned.
Meanwhile, am a football fan and Kanu is a favorite, you can guess my team now
And I love Iwobi

I'm glad you love Habesha culture(I hate to say the word Habesha).

You should definitely learn Amharegn/Amharic even if it's difficult. Amharic is a language formed from the mix of Semitic/Cushitic/Omotic/Nilo-Sharan, so it's has all the characteristics of all Ethiopian language and can tell more than any other language about Ethiopia.

Actually, the Album I posted was ranked 1st in the Billboard world albums chart for May 20. It sold 600,000 copies in the first week worldwide. But like you said, most of our artists aren't known internationally, so huge advertisements needs to be done.

Nubians of Sudan-Egypt, most people in the Gambela region of Ethiopia, and most South Sudanese and Kunama and Nara of Eritrea are Nilo-Saharan not Cushitic. Even Bantus in East Africa most likely have Nilotic ancestry.

In regards to language family in regards of ancient meroitic language in antiquity, it is unclassified by modern scholars.

The classification of Meroitic is uncertain due to the scarcity of data and difficulty in interpreting it. Since the alphabet was deciphered in 1909, it has been proposed that Meroitic is related to the Nubian languages and similar languages of the Nilo-Saharan phylum. Claude Rilly is the most recent proponent of the Nilo-Saharan idea: he proposes that it is Eastern Sudanic, the Nilo-Saharan family that includes Nubian (Rilly 2004, 2007, 2012). Rowan (2006, 2011), on the other hand, notes that the Meroitic sound inventory and phonotactics (the only aspects of the language which are secure) are similar to those of the Afroasiatic languages, and dissimilar from Nilo-Saharan languages. For example, very rarely does one find the sequence CVC, where the consonants (C) are both labials or both velars. This is similar to consonant restrictions found throughout the Afroasiatic language family, suggesting that Meroitic might have been an Afroasiatic language like Egyptian. The issue is unresolved and most classifications list Meroitic either as questionably Nilo-Saharan or as unclassified (as Joseph Greenberg did).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meroitic_language

According to Peter Behrens (1981) and Marianne Bechaus-Gerst (2000), linguistic evidence indicates that the Kerma peoples spoke Afro-Asiatic languages of the Cushitic branch.[12][13] The Nilo-Saharan Nobiin language today contains a number of key pastoralism related loanwords that are of proto-Highland East Cushitic origin, including the terms for sheep/goatskin, hen/cock, livestock enclosure, butter and milk. This in turn suggests that the Kerma population — which, along with the C-Group Culture, inhabited the Nile Valley immediately before the arrival of the[b] first Nubian speakers — spoke Afro-Asiatic language[/b]

Linguistically it has always been a mixture of two groups
