	African Languages - ninemsn Encarta
		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.
		The Nubian alphabet was derived from that of the Coptic language.
		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.

	A Survey Report for the Bantu Languages
		The conventional answer says that a language tends to be the standard variety, be written, have more speakers, have some form of offical status, have prestige, and not be intelligible to speakers of other “languages”.
		That is, assuming that most or all of the members of a language family derive from a common ancestor, a historical classification will represent this, and the various splittings and branchings that occurred since that ancestor.
		They, the majority, see (1) the northwestern languages (those of Zones A, B, C, and parts of D and H) as being clearly distinct from the rest; and (2) thereafter, a split in the rest between western (Zones H, K, R, sometimes L and parts of M) and eastern languages.

	Exerts From "Amharic Verb Morphology: A Generative Approach"
		The eight named languages might be considered the major Ethiopian languages: they account for about 5/6 of the total population, and no other language exceeds 500,000 speakers.
		Not only are the languages spoken by most Ethiopians genetically related, but (as Ferguson 1970 and 1976 has shown) the phenomenon of diffusion of traits over a large area has resulted in even more sharing of common features than one would expect among languages of three coordinate branches of a super-family.
		The conquering Semitic-speakers spoke a language which was perhaps only four to seven centuries removed from a common origin with Giiz, the classical language of the Aksum Empire and of Medieval Ethiopian religion and literature.
