MSN Encarta - African Languages Languages of the Berber branch of the Afro-Asiatic family are spoken by a substantial portion of the population in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia ; by scattered groups elsewhere in North Africa; and along the southern fringes of the Sahara Desert in western Africa. Languages spoken farther to the south-east, including Maasai in Kenya, have long been called Nilo-Hamitic; recent investigations, however, appear to prove that these tongues have no direct relationship to languages of the Afro-Asiatic family, but are most closely related to the Nilotic languages. The around 200 Nilo-Saharan languages are found in a broken chain from the great bend of the Niger River in West Africa to Ethiopia, throughout most of the upper Nile valley, and in parts of Uganda and Kenya. uk.encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761565449/African_Languages.html

index.html Language documentation is explicit if it enables insightful study of a langauge and culture when the language is extinct and when native speakers are no longer available as sources of creative, operational, structural and interpretative knowledge about the language. However, the language has not been documented at all in the sense of the term used here, and the small amount of initial information in traditional format indicates that the language is very different from any of the surrounding Gur languages or the not-too-distant Kwa languages. The language is at once a potential key to crucial aspects of the linguistic history of West Africa (indeed sub-Saharan Africa generally), but is also the possessor of a number of structural features that are exceedingly rare in African languages. coral.lili.uni-bielefeld.de /LangDoc/EGA/Proposals/Ega-proposal2/index.html
