Date Digitized: 2009
Map Description:
This maps illustrates the dispersal of Nilo-Saharan languages between 18.000 BP and 2.000 BP. With the gradual migration of groups, the language family split into many different languages and is now one of the four main groupings found in Africa today.

The Inter-Saharan Hypothesis (Blench)
The Inter-Saharan Hypothesis
Source: Blench, Roger. 2006. Archeology, Language, and the African Past. Lanham: AltaMira Press. 162.
Date Digitized: 2009
Map Description:
This map illustrates the Inter-Saharan Hypothesis proposed by Roger Blench. This model emphasizes that the common agripastoral vocabulary shared by Cushitic pastoralists and Chadic speakers, along with the widespread archeological evidence of Cushitic migrations, explains their influence on the Afroasiatic language family. It differs from other postulations surrounding Afroasiatic because it focuses on east to west movement and its consequences, rather than exclusively on those which stemmed from North Africa and moved south, for which much more evidence is documented.
