Pygmoid/Twa Populations (Blench)
Pygmoid/Twa Populations
Map Creator: Roger Blench
Source: 2006. Archaeology, Language, and the African Past. Lanham: AltaMira Press. 175.
Date Created: 2006
Map Description:
The shaded regions of this map outline areas of scattered Pygmoid and Twa populations. These groups often dwell in rainforest or remote swamp areas, and many speak Bantu languages. Roger Blench cites Serge Bahuchet who argues that they may have once spoken a language unique from those of their surrounding groups, but that over time, they absorbed the surrounding languages due to the relationships formed with the incoming Bantu cultivators. This information is part of a larger work which describes the history and current status of various language groups throughout the continent in order to reconstruct the African past.
