Bantu Colonization of the Interior Mosiac of Africa

Date Digitized: 2009
Map Description:
According to James L. Newman, the interior of East Africa is one of the most complex ethnolinguistic regions on the continent due to the continuous movement of groups, including Khoisan, Cushitic, Nilotic and Bantu peoples. Bantu advancement, as shown on this map, disrupted the groups that had already settled in these areas and continued until the seventeenth century. The displacement of the previous inhabitants was not complete, however; two Khoisan groups (the Hadza and the Sandawe) along with some Southern Cushites remained in Tanzania (Newman).

The Countries of Dadog History (Ehret)
The Countries of Dadog History
Source:
Ehret, Christopher. 1971. Southern Nilotic History. Evanston: Northwestern University Press. 57.
Date Digitized: 2009
Map Description:
In his book Southern Nilotic History, Christopher Ehret discusses a number of possible settlements and linguistic interactions of the Dadog of the Masai. He uses loanword evidence to support his hypothesis that they expanded mainly southward, eventually living as far south as central Masailand. They influenced many peoples that they encountered; the linguistic affects seen in Sonjo are particularly strong, and Ehret suggests that this may indicate that the Sonjo live in much the same way and location today as they did in the past.
