  Nemadi language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to a few sources, the small Nemadi hunting tribe of eastern Mauritania speak a separate language of their own; however, most sources agree that they speak a dialect of Hassaniyya, or in some cases perhaps Azer.
The Ethnologue's former description of their language appears to be based solely on this source; however, its latest edition says that "The 'Nemadi' (Ikoku) are an ethnic group of 200 (1967) that speak Hassaniyya, but they have special morphemes for dogs, hunting, and houses"[1]
Hermans' verdict is that "the language spoken by the Nemadi in general (there may remain some Azer-speaking Nemadi) is Hassaniyya.

 Hassaniya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though clearly a western dialect, Ḥassānīya is relatively distant from other North African variants of Arabic; its geographical isolation exposed it to influence from Zenaga and Wolof, and insulated it from the influence of northern Berber languages and Romance languages.
Some of the "classicizing" forms are easily explained as recent loans from the literary language (such as /qaːnuːn/ 'law') or from sedentary dialects in case of concepts pertaining to the sedentary way of life (such as /mqass/ 'scissors' above).
Still one emphatic phoneme /zˤ/ is acquired from the neighbouring Zenaga Berber language along with a whole palatal series /c ɟ ɲ/ from Niger-Congo languages of the south.

 Ethnologue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Ethnologue: Languages of the World is a web and print publication of SIL International (formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics), a Christian linguistic service organization which studies lesser-known languages primarily to provide the speakers with native language biblical texts.
It contains statistics for 6,809 languages (2000 edition) and gives the number of speakers, location, dialects, linguistic affiliations, availability of the Bible, etc. It is currently the most comprehensive existing language inventory, along with the Linguasphere Register.
The neutrality of Ethnologue as a scientific institution is sometimes disputed, particularly in areas of language classification associated with the Bible and Abrahamic religion.

We are given clear discussions of them; the author quotes pertinently from the philosophers Vico and Heidegger, the poet Rilke and others about the relationships between singing, land, being and walking.
Yet he has not given us any aboriginal poetry itself or described even one of the languages it is written in at any length.
To do so would have been risky and difficult; such poetry tends to be repetitious, as well as incomprehensible outside its ritual context; the attempt to transcribe the sounds of an aboriginal language might have degenerated into academic parody.

 nthposition online magazine: Born to be wild
Those were the most beautiful days I had ever experienced." So wrote Misha Defonseca, a Jewish orphan who, from the ages of seven to 11, wandered through occupied Europe in World War II, living on wild berries, raw meat and food stolen from farmhouses, and occasionally teaming up with wolves.
Another child who had learned language before his life with wolves was Marcos Pantoja, "the wild child of the Sierra Morena", who was about seven when he was abandoned in the desolate mountainous forests of southwest Spain in 1953.
Investigations showed that a two-year-old child had disappeared from a nearby village 14 years earlier, and it was presumed that a bear had adopted her.
