southwest Nigeria, Benin, Togo, the UK, Brazil and the USA.

YORUBA AND MDW NTR HAS MANY LINGUISTIC SIMILARITIES. LOOK HOW THE WORDS OF THE YORUBAN NIGER-CONGO LANGUAGE FAMILIES IS GENETICALY RELATED,

ACCORDING TO COMPARITIVE LINGUISTICS.

Since Ferdinand de Saussure, the surest way to prove a cultural contact between peoples is to adduce linguistic evidence (Ferdinand de Saussure, 1972, General HISTORY Of Africa).

Walaf, 62 a Senegalese language spoken in the extreme west of Africa on the

Atlantic Ocean, is perhaps as close to ancient Egyptian as Coptic. An exhaustive study of this question has recently been carried out. 63 In this

chapter enough is presented to show that the kinship between ancient Egyptian and the languages of Africa is not hypothetical but a demonstrable

fact which it is impossible for modern scholarship to thrust aside.

As we shall see, the kinship is genealogical in nature.

CHINESE DICTIONARY

The different varieties of Chinese are known as 方言 (fāngyán), which is translated as 'regional languages', 'toplects', 'dialects' or 'varieties'. The English term dialect normally

refers to more or less mutually intelligible varieties of a single language, though the distinction between dialects and languages is often for sociological and political reasons rather than linguistics ones. Chinese people generally refer to Chinese as a

single language with a number of different dialects or varieties.

AMHARIC LANGUAGE

Amharic is a Semitic language and the national language of Ethiopia (ኢትዮጵያ). The majority of the 25 million or so speakers of Amharic can be found in Ethiopia,

but there are also speakers in a number of other countries, particularly Eritrea (ኤርትራ), Canada, the USA and Sweden.

The name Amharic (ኣማርኛ - amarəñña) comes from the district of Amhara (አማራ) in Northern Ethiopia, which is thought to be the historic centre of the language.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

“The reason I put together this extensive but small corpus of dictionaries is for the scholar to have easy access in his/her comparative work or research. Actually I find it very useful

in my work & studies as well. I tried to get the best credible sources as I could find for free use and I hope you find that this is an powerful tool.”
