13:36 that is the first time in 10 years in America I hear someone American pronounce those names right. What I can he is really good at his pronunciations
We were once speaking the same language then came the difference. Everybody is my family member. I just saw my extended family far from me but we fight base on race. Wish we all understand and leave in peace.
I am curious to know what Dr. Ehret has to say about diversity of vowels and pitch. I am thinking of Celtic dipthongs and Chinese tones which suggest development from Asian protolanguages. Is there greater diversity of vowels and pitch in African languages?
R Hayat. The Khoisan used to live all the way up to the Horn of Africa until recent times. If Amharic is the Ethiopean language then what you say makes perfect sense. I think there is a direct ancestral link between the Ethiopeans and the Khoisan. These two groups are the only light skinned people indigenous to sub-saharan Africa. The Khoisan represent the root heritage of all modern peoples, and I believe the Ethiopeans are the Khoisan's direct modern updated version. I have seen and intertacted with many Ethiopeans. I can see in a given Ethiopean familiy variation among siblings where some have the classic look while other siblings have a distinct Khoisan look and smaller body size as well.
Amharic has no click sounds--and I mean none. What it does have are ejective consonants--which do sometimes sound a bit like click sounds. This it inherited from Proto-Semitic. Akkadian (in Mesopotamia) apparently had them too, and some people have suggested that Hebrew used to have it. It seems to have been the original way of articulating "emphatic consonants". These would contrast with certain syllables: s v. S (could also be ts v. TS) t v. T h v. H ll v. LL (the ll sound is the one in welsh; this used to be widespread, in languages ranging from Ge'ez to Hebrew; Arabic preserved the LL, but shifted ll to sh; LL then merged with DH and in some dialects this became D). k v. q dh v. DH I recommend a channel called ancient semitic: he has readings with the sounds.
Africa thanks you for your immense contribution to our story and truth Mr Ehret.
you know you are a nerd when you know about Christopher Ehret and are excited to watch his videos:🤭🤭🤭
Welp who's here from their class? Definitely confusing me for sure.

clicks in Arabic? I speak arabic, I can't say there are clicks in Arabic at all. Maybe you are referring to one of the languages spoken in Yemen?
He never said there were click consonants in Arabic.
There is - Q and D
@@RandomisedClips Q and D are not click sounds
Arabic cannot be considered an African language. It is Eurasian
@atmoss no, it isn’t. It is related to languages spoken in Arabia and Africa.
Ok young humans
Amharic has a click sound. At least it sounds that way to me.

Wqyanos Hayq. Your tone is absurd. My comment is addressed to R Hayat not you. If you have nothing to agree about keep it to your self.
Wqyanos Hayq,little nasty you are

Sounds about right. Thanks!
He should probably stick to lecturing about European languages which he understands....lots of his facts are wrong
Please elaborate
Yes please elaborate. What do you have to say beside “ his facts are wrong?
Stop that's your feelings bleeding because you can't accept facts.
There is no such ethiopian language may be this about political language it seems new making of Africa scramble into 4countries
Afroasiatic languages originated in the middle east.
