This is the sequel to my video showing a hypothetical expansion of Afroasiatic languages based on differenet classification models.
In this video I include a recent classification with some controversial components, e.g. the AA homeland being in the Levante rather than in Northeastern Africa, the classification of Omotic as (West) Cushitic and the classification of Sabaic as Northwest Semitic (close to Aramaic) being the result of a migration from the Fertile Crescent to South Arabia.
The video is based on the works of Blažek and Militarev.
Rendille is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's speakers mainly occupy Kenya and have an interesting culture that displays Nilotic influences.
Within Cushitic itself; Rendille is classified as an "East Cushitic" language of that subbranch's "Lowland East Cushitic" subbranch and is considered to have a strong relationship with languages such as Maay, Tunni and Standard/ North Somali where it is in some circles considered part of a "Macro-Somali" or "Somaloid" subbranch of Lowland East Cushitic. Though there are classifications where this is not entirely the case but it is still ultimately a Lowland East Cushitic language.

The video footage/ the images alongside the recordings are entirely the work of folks over at "The Global Recordings Network" who made them for proselytizing purposes/ to aid in the spreading of Christianity. I on the other hand am sharing them for more educational purposes/ for people interested to hear what various Cushitic languages sound like.

There is hardly any much significant difference between Somalis and Afar. We are both Sunni Muslims, nomadic herders, speak the same Cushitic language and both are under suppression, illegal occupation by the habashi highlanders - Tigray!
Lets make a stand and stand shoulder to shoulder!

The Hadiya language is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's native speakers are the Hadiya people of Ethiopia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadiya_people
Within Cushitic Hadiya is classified as an "East Cushitic" language of East Cushitic's "Highland East" subbranch alongside languages such as Sidamo, Gedeo and Kambaata (this subbranch is also at times called "Sidamic" or "Sidaama"). It's native speakers are typically sedentary agriculturalists of the Ethiopian Highlands, they mostly inhabit the Southern Nations, Nationalisties and Peoples Region of Ethiopia.

Saho is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's spoken by the Saho people who mostly inhabit Eritrea with a small presence in Ethiopia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saho_people
Within the Cushitic branch of Afro-Asiatic; Saho is part of the East Cushitic subbranch and goes further down into what is for now classified as the Lowland East Cushitic subbranch of East Cushitic. It is very closely related to Afar with whom it forms a subbranch of Lowland East Cushitic dubbed "Saho-Afar". Other Lowland East Cushitic languages would be languages such as Somali, Maay, Oromo etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saho_language
Sahos are mostly nomadic pastoralists and coast residing people while the Saho in Ethiopia who seem to mostly or entirely be of a subgroup called "The Irob" are sedentary agriculturalists.

I had no part in the recording of this video nor did I have any part in the production of the recordings in it (I did however add the images in it). I owe these recordings to "The Global Recordings Network": http://globalrecordings.net/en/program/C01571
They were created for proselytizing purposes but I'm merely uploading recordings of various Cushitic languages for "educational" purposes: they're basically meant for anyone interested in the Cushitic language branch and what many of its languages sound like.
As for the images, here's me giving credit to the great artists responsible for them:
1. "An Arab Encampment" by Edward Lear
2. "In The Harem" by Juan Gimenez Martin
3. "Salome and the Tigers" by Rudolph Ernst
4. "Caravan on the Nile, The Gulf of Aqaba" by Jean-Leon Gerome,
5. "Danger in the Desert" by Haag Carl Danger
6. "Arab street scene" by Arthur Bridgman
7. "Market Day Outside the Walls of Tangiers, Morocco (1873)" by Louis Comfort Tiffany
8. "Carpet Menders" Rudolph Swoboda
9. "Rest in Syrian Desert" by Eugen Bracht
10. "The Banks of the Nile" by Charles Theodore Frere
11. "A Bazaar in Beirut" by Charles Theodore Frere
12. "Camels at the Fountain" by Jean-Leon Gerome
None of them have anything to do with what's being said in the video, I just thought they looked nice + I'm a fan of orientalist art.

Libido is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's native speakers are reside in Ethiopia.
Within Cushitic itself; Libido is considered part of the "East Cushitic" subbranch and further goes down into East Cushitic's "Highland East" subbranch (sometimes also called "Sidamic" or "Sidaama"). It's native speakers are typically Ethiopian Highland sedentary agriculturalists. Their language is extremely similar to Hadiya with which it is grouped with "Hadiya-Libido" and according to Ethnologue their lexical similarity is as high as ~82% suggesting to me that they're mutually intelligible?

The Awgni language is a language of what is classified as the Central Cushitic subbranch of the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaw_languages
It's spoken by the Awi, a sedentary agriculturalist "Agaw / Agew" people who live along Northwestern Ethiopia.
http://oi62.tinypic.com/34q4ryw.jpg
A historically well known "Agaw / Agew" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaw_people) / Central Cushitic speaking people were the rulers of the Zagwe Dynasty; responsible for the construction of Lalibela's famous rock-hewn churches.
Awi people on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awi_people
The original recording/ dubbing was made for "religious purposes" / basically aiding in the spread of Christianity amogn various ethnic groups across the world. I don't own the original content nor did I partake in its production in anyway; I'm sharing this mostly for educational reasons. Those interested in hearing what various Cushitic languages sound like can hopefully have a good point of reference via these videos.

The Cushitic languages are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family spoken in the Horn of Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan and Egypt. They are named after the Biblical character Cush, who was identified as an ancestor of the speakers of these specific languages as early as AD 947 (in Masudi's Arabic history Meadows of Gold). The most populous Cushitic language is Oromo with about 35 million speakers, followed by Somali with about 18 million speakers, and Sidamo in Ethiopia with about 2 million speakers. Other languages with more than one million speakers are Hadia (1.6 million), Kambata (1.4 million), and Afar (1.5 million).
There are eight clearly valid groups of languages which are or have been included in the Cushitic family, and there is a wide range of opinions as to how they are interrelated.
The Beja language, or North Cushitic, is sometimes placed outside Cushitic proper, though there is no evidence that the rest of Cushitic forms a valid group.
The positions of the small Dullay languages and Yaaku are uncertain. These have traditionally been assigned to an East Cushitic branch along with Highland (Sidamic) and Lowland East Cushitic. However, Richard Hayward believes East Cushitic may not be a valid node and breaks it into three well-supported families: Highlands, a diverse Lowlands family (with Afar, Somalic, and Oromic branches), and Dullay (he apparently leaves Yaaku unclassified), which he believes should be considered separately when attempting to work out the internal relationships of Cushitic.

Saho is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's spoken by the Saho people who mostly inhabit Eritrea with a small presence in Ethiopia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saho_people Within the Cushitic branch of Afro-Asiatic; Saho is part of the East Cushitic subbranch and goes further down into what is for now classified as the Lowland East Cushitic subbranch of East Cushitic. It is very closely related to Afar with whom it forms a subbranch of Lowland East Cushitic dubbed "Saho-Afar". Other Lowland East Cushitic languages would be languages such as Somali, Maay, Oromo etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saho_language Sahos are mostly nomadic pastoralists and coast residing people while the Saho in Ethiopia who seem to mostly or entirely be of a subgroup called "The Irob" are sedentary agriculturalists. http://oi61.tinypic.com/346u69i.jpg http://oi62.tinypic.com/fcl277.jpg I had no part in the recording of this video nor did I have any part in the production of the recordings in it (I did however add the images in it). I owe these recordings to "The Global Recordings Network": http://globalrecordings.net/en/program/C01571 They were created for proselytizing purposes but I'm merely uploading recordings of various Cushitic languages for "educational" purposes: they're basically meant for anyone interested in the Cushitic language branch and what many of its languages sound like. As for the images, here's me giving credit to the great artists responsible for them: 1. "An Arab Encampment" by Edward Lear 2. "In The Harem" by Juan Gimenez Martin 3. "Salome and the Tigers" by Rudolph Ernst 4. "Caravan on the Nile, The Gulf of Aqaba" by Jean-Leon Gerome, 5. "Danger in the Desert" by Haag Carl Danger 6. "Arab street scene" by Arthur Bridgman 7. "Market Day Outside the Walls of Tangiers, Morocco (1873)" by Louis Comfort Tiffany 8. "Carpet Menders" Rudolph Swoboda 9. "Rest in Syrian Desert" by Eugen Bracht 10. "The Banks of the Nile" by Charles Theodore Frere 11. "A Bazaar in Beirut" by Charles Theodore Frere 12. "Camels at the Fountain" by Jean-Leon Gerome None of them have anything to do with what's being said in the video, I just thought they looked nice + I'm a fan of orientalist art. Enjoy... -

The Expansion of Afroasiatic Languages II
This is the sequel to my video showing a hypothetical expansion of Afroasiatic languages based on differenet classification models. In this video I include a recent classification with some controversial components, e.g. the AA homeland being in the Levante rather than in Northeastern Africa, the classification of Omotic as (West) Cushitic and the classification of Sabaic as Northwest Semitic (close to Aramaic) being the result of a migration from the Fertile Crescent to South Arabia. The video is based on the works of Blažek and Militarev. -

This is the sequel to my video showing a hypothetical expansion of Afroasiatic languages based on differenet classification models.
In this video I include a recent classification with some controversial components, e.g. the AA homeland being in the Levante rather than in Northeastern Africa, the classification of Omotic as (West) Cushitic and the classification of Sabaic as Northwest Semitic (close to Aramaic) being the result of a migration from the Fertile Crescent to South Arabia.
The video is based on the works of Blažek and Militarev.

Within Cushitic itself; Rendille is classified as an "East Cushitic" language of that subbranch's "Lowland East Cushitic" subbranch and is considered to have a strong relationship with languages such as Maay, Tunni and Standard/ North Somali where it is in some circles considered part of a "Macro-Somali" or "Somaloid" subbranch of Lowland East Cushitic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saho_people
Within the Cushitic branch of Afro-Asiatic; Saho is part of the East Cushitic subbranch and goes further down into what is for now classified as the Lowland East Cushitic subbranch of East Cushitic. It is very closely related to Afar with whom it forms a subbranch of Lowland East Cushitic dubbed "Saho-Afar". Other Lowland East Cushitic languages would be languages such as Somali, Maay, Oromo etc.

Iraqw is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's speakers mainly inhabit Tanzania.
Within the Cushitic branch itself; Iraqw is classified as a "South Cushitic" language and further as a member of South Cushitic's "West Rift" subbranch and then of West Rift's "Northwest" subbranch. Its native speakers number up to almost half a million people in Tanzania.

Libido is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's native speakers are reside in Ethiopia.
Within Cushitic itself; Libido is considered part of the "East Cushitic" subbranch and further goes down into East Cushitic's "Highland East" subbranch (sometimes also called "Sidamic" or "Sidaama").

This is essentially supposed to be a recording of the Beni-Amer dialect/ variant of the Beja language; a North Cushitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family/ the Beja language itself constitutes what is for now classified as the "Northern branch" of the Cushitic languages.
I don't own the original video nor did I record the man who's speaking. It's a series of "Bible Lesson" recordings in the Beni Amer dialect of Beja recorded for the following:
"Audio Bible lessons with optional pictures, with Bible overview from creation to Christ, and teaching on the Christian Life. For evangelism and church planting."
I acquired it from the Global Recording Network: http://globalrecordings.net
I'm merely sharing this so people interested in hearing what various Cushitic languages sound like can have an easy point of reference. I'll be uploading other Cushitic languages in the future.
The Beni-Amer are a pastoral nomadic people found across Northern Eritrea and Northeastern Sudan, they often intermix or strongly interact with their Ethiopian Semitic speaking neighbors who are also pastoral nomads; the Tigre. They also often speak Tigre in conjunction with Beja or Sudanese Arabic if they reside in Sudan.

Oromo is the most widely spoken Cushitic language in East Africa and the entire world, it's an East Cushitic language of what is for now classified as the subbranch of Cushitic's "Lowland East" branch alongside languages such as Somali, Saho and Afar.
This video was originally created to aid in spreading stories about Jesus or generally about the Christian faith for proselytizing purposes. I do not own the actual video or any of its content nor did I take any part in its production. I'm merely sharing this for "educational" purposes; for anyone interested in hearing what various Cushitic languages sound like.
Oromo is seemingly capable of being divided into various sublanguages. For example:
Ethnologue (2013) divides Oromo into five languages:
* Borana–Arsi–Guji Oromo (Southern Oromo, incl. Gabra and Sakuye dialects)
* Eastern Oromo (Harar)
* Orma (Munyo, Orma, Waata/Sanye)
* West–Central Oromo (Western Oromo and Central Oromo, incl. Mecha/Wollega, Raya, Wello, Tulema/Shewa)
* Waata (Sanye)"
Roger Blench (2006), a linguist, divides Oromo into four languages:
* Western Oromo (Maca)
* Shewa (Tuulama, Arsi)
* Eastern Oromo (Harar)
* Southern Oromo (Ajuran, Borana, Gabra, Garreh, Munyo, Orma, Sakuye, Waata)
These recordings were originally compiled by: http://globalrecordings.net/en/
And they seemed to list the videos in ways like:
Oromo: Harar People
Oromo: Jimma People
I couldn't entirely be sure about the correct way to designate these languages as I myself am not some expert on Oromo so I just divided it the way you see in the video in a way that assumes for example that "Oromo: Jimma" is how people in and around the town/ city of Jimma speak Oromo. If any Oromo speakers have anything to add like mentioning if one of these variants of Oromo is a dialect or a sublanguage then go ahead. F.e. I assume what global recordings lists as "Oromo: Harar People" is essentially what Ethnologue and Blench classify as "Eastern Oromo"?

Burji is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch, it's native speakers mainly inhabit Ethiopia and Kenya.
Burji is part of Cushitic's "East Cushitic" subbranch and is of that subbranch's "Highland East Cushitic" subbranch (sometimes called "Sidamic" or "Sidaama"), it's apparently considered somewhat more divergent from the other Sidamic language like Sidamo, Hadiya, Libido etc. which group together more neatly. But according to Ethnologue it's lexicon is 41% similar to Sidamo but lexicon isn't entirely that important when grouping languages but instead qualities like morphology from what I know.

Burji is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch, it's native speakers mainly inhabit Ethiopia and Kenya.
Burji is part of Cushitic's "East Cushitic" subbranch and is of that subbranch's "Highland East Cushitic" subbranch (sometimes called "Sidamic" or "Sidaama"), it's apparently considered somewhat more divergent from the other Sidamic language like Sidamo, Hadiya, Libido etc. which group together more neatly. But according to Ethnologue it's lexicon is 41% similar to Sidamo but lexicon isn't entirely that important when grouping languages but instead qualities like morphology from what I know.

Much like the Beja recording, this was originally recorded for religious "Christianity spreading" purposes and I don't at all own this video nor did I have any part in its recording.
I'm uploading this much like with the Beja video I've uploaded so that people interested in hearing what the Xamtanga/ Xamir language sounds like can listen to it.
The Xamtanga language is spoken by Xamir people who are an "Agaw / Agew" people from the Northern Ethiopian Highlands.
http://oi57.tinypic.com/28befwo.jpg
They and other Agaws are related to people of the Zagwe Dynasty (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me2onCyMxJQ) who were also Agaws / Central-Cushitic speakers. Xamirs and other Agaws are typically sedentary agriculturalists and are genetically quite similar to Habeshas whose ancestors prior to about ~1000 BCE used to be Central Cushitic languages.

The Sidamo language is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's spoken by the Sidama people of Ethiopia.
Within Cushitic, Sidamo is classified as a member of the "East Cushitic" subbranch. It is further classified as a member of the "Highland East Cushitic" subbranch of East Cushitic (a subbranch that is sometimes also called "Sidamic" or "Sidaama").
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidamo_language
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_East_Cushitic_languages
It's speakers are typically sedentary agriculturalists who used to inhabit areas of Eastern Ethiopia alongside the southern areas they now inhabit, they also had a greater spread that made them reach father North into Ethiopia once but they're now mostly constrained to the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region. Sidamo's native speakers number up to about ~3 million people or more.

I got these recordings from "The Global Recordings Network" but oddly they'd listed this language as "Ago" but somehow a variant of "Awngi". I really don't get that as Awngi's only listed dialect is "Kunfäl" from what I've noticed from looking around but this does seem to the Awngi language is some other dialect or not.
