	Chad Chadic Languages - Flags, Maps, Economy, History, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, International ...
		Chadic languages stretch from the western borders of Nigeria to Ouaddaï Prefecture, and Arabic-speaking populations are scattered throughout the Sahel.
		The peculiar east-west distribution of Chadic along the southern fringe of the Sahara from western Nigeria to eastern Chad has led some experts to suggest that ancestral Chadic languages were spoken by peoples living along the southern shores of the Paleochadian Sea.
		In the second cluster, Chadic speakers are descended from refugee populations who perhaps sought shelter in the highlands when the contraction of the sea and the increased aridity of the region allowed the penetration of more aggressive herding populations.

	Studies in Chadic Morphology and Syntax (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Chadic languages are the largest and the most diversified branch of the Afroasiatic family.
		Among the issues discussed in the volume are the underlying forms of verbs in West Chadic, nominal and verbal plurality, ergative characteristics, coding of grammatical relations in proto-Chadic, double coding of the subject (also known as «intransitive copy pronouns»).
		The volume concludes with a discussion of the implications of Chadic for the theory and methodology of diachronic syntax.

	Chadic languages
		The Chadic languages are a member of the Afroasiatic phylum, together with Semitic, Ancient Egyptian, Berber and Cushitic.
		Chadic languages are spoken mostly in the Chad Republic, Northern Cameroon and Northern Nigeria.
		Languages of the Chadic family make up for about 25% of the total number of languages spoken in Nigeria.

	Chadic Branch
		The Chadic branch consists of about 150 languages spoken south of the Sahara desert and stretching from the south of Niger, across northern Nigeria, northern Cameroon and south-central Chad.
		Chadic languages are distinguished by the presence of
		Chadic nouns and pronouns distinguish masculine and feminine genders in the singular but have only a single plural that does not distinguish gender.

		This thesis examines the reference systems of the Chadic language group, with the goal of providing a preliminary typology of deixis, anaphora and the relationship between subject coding and discourse functions.
		The scope of this study includes eight Chadic languages: Hausa (Newman 2000), Miya (Schuh 1998) and Ron (Seibert 1997) from West Chadic, Gidar (Frajzyngier forthcoming), Hdi (Frajzyngier and Shay 2002) and Gude (Hoskison 1983) from Central Chadic, and East Dangla (Shay 1999) and Lele (Frajzyngier 2001) from East Chadic.
		This chapter demonstrates the problem of "definiteness" in Chadic grammars, the varied and imprecise functions attributed to various anaphoric markers, the anaphoric role of pronouns, and the patterns and points of interest that are open to examination in the Chadic languages.

		The term ‘Chadic Languages’ nowadays mostly describes the more than 140 individual languages and dialects spoken in the geographical area of northern Nigeria, northern Cameroon and the south of the Chad.
		The Chadic languages belong to the Afro-Asiatic (formerly: Hamito-Semitic) language family.
		By far the most important language of this group is Hausa, which is spoken by between 40 to 50 million people and is the most important vehicular language used in western and central Africa.

		The reconstruction in this study is based on data from twenty-one languages across the four branches of the Chadic language family.
		Among the four branches of Chadic languages, there are basically two types of syntactic structures in the complement clauses of the verbs of wanting.
		The choice of the two structures appears to be overwhelmingly affected by the referential status of the grammatical subjects in the main clause and the complement clause.

		He added that others, such as public and university educators and commercial trainers, will have access to the center for training and to sample assistive devices.
		The SACT team has benefited greatly, said Chadic, from recent graduates who voiced their frustrations during fact-finding interviews and were instrumental in forming the basic concept for the CATAT Center.
		Chadic said his team’s next goal is to establish and provide national certification for educators in the field of assistive technology training (a certification that is not currently available).

		The volume consists of papers prepared for the International Symposium of Chadic Linguistics (Boulder, Colorado, May 1-2, 1987).
		Although the papers are representative of the current work being done in the field of Chadic linguistics, they also reflect the current and past interests and methodologies of general linguistics.
		The papers included in the volume should therefore be of interest to a general linguist as much as to the Chadicist or a specialist in some other Afroasiatic branch.

		This project looks at focus phenomena (wh-questions, the distinction into focus and background, presentational and contrastive focus etc.) in Hausa and other Chadic languages.
		As tonal languages, the Chadic languages form an interesting subject for research into focus because a commonly used means for marking focus in indogermanic languages, namely intonational/ tonal marking, is not available in the same degree due to potential conflicts with lexical tone.
		As a result, Chadic languages often resort to alternative means for marking focus.

		Languages in which the labial flap is definitely incorporated into the phonological system are surrounded by a double-box, probably by a single box, and possibly by an oval.
		The labial flap is attested in fourteen Chadic languages.

		The general objective of this study is a systematic examination of the processes involved in the formation and evolution of complex sentence constructions in a group of genetically related languages.
		The Chadic language group, at about 140 languages, constitutes the largest and most diversified branch of the Afroasiatic family.
		One of the findings of the present work is that languages starting from the same base may develop quite different morphological and syntactic structures.

		Hausa is a Chadic language belonging to the larger family of Afroasiatic languages, which, alongside Chadic, has four other main branches: Semitic, Egyptian, Berber and Cushitic.
		The Chadic group has been subject to various classifications; the one assumed here is based on Newman's (1977) classification of the Chadic group as detailed in Barreteau and Newman (1978).
		Hausa is without question the most widely spoken Chadic language; in fact Schuh (1982) describes it as coming second only to Arabic in terms of the number of native speakers on the African continent.

		Her main research interests lie in lexical semantics, in the relationship between language and cognition, and in various aspects of language documentation, in particular: field methodology, the integration of semantics into grammar writing, and in the technological side of documentation.
