The paper is a new contribution to revealing the Afro-Asiatic heritage in the lexicon of the Angas-Sura group of Chadic languages by means of interbranch comparison using a.o. the ancient Egypto-Semitic evidence.
The paper represents at once a retarded, albeit detailed review article of the 1989 Bidiya vocabulary by Khalil Alio and a contribution to the etymological analysis of the Dangla-Migama language group (spoken in the western part of the Republic of Chad), where also Bidiya belongs, part of the Chadic language family (and, thus, ultimately, of the vast Afro-Asiatic macrofamily).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
