| | Afro-Asiatic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tonal languages appear in the Omotic, Chadic, and South and East Cushitic branches of Afro-Asiatic, according to Ehret (1996). | | | The Afro-Asiatic languages constitute a language family with about 240 languages and over 307 million speakers spread throughout North Africa, East Africa, the Sahel, and Southwest Asia. | | | Many people regard the Ongota language as Afro-Asiatic, but its classification within the family remains controversial, partly for lack of data. |

| | Berber languages: Information From Answers.com |
| | Tamazight (the Berber language/s) is a member of the Afro-Asiatic language family (formerly called Hamito-Semitic.) Traditional genealogists often considered the Berbers as Arabs that immigrated from Yemen; for this reason, some considered Tamazight to derive from Arabic. | | | Among the Berber languages are Tarifit or Riffi (northern Morocco), Kabyle (Algeria) and Tachelhit (central Morocco). | | | After independence, all the Maghreb countries to varying degrees pursued a policy of "Arabization", aimed primarily at displacing French from its colonial position as the dominant language of education and literacy, but under which teaching, and use in certain highly public spheres, of both Berber languages and Maghrebi Arabic dialect have been suppressed as well. |

| | African Languages - ninemsn Encarta |
| | Languages spoken farther to the south-east, including Maasai in Kenya, have long been called Nilo-Hamitic; recent investigations, however, appear to prove that these tongues have no direct relationship to languages of the Afro-Asiatic family, but are most closely related to the Nilotic languages. | | | Languages of the Berber branch of the Afro-Asiatic family are spoken by a substantial portion of the population in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia; by scattered groups elsewhere in North Africa; and along the southern fringes of the Sahara Desert in western Africa. | | | The ancient Egyptian language, which has no living descendant, forms another branch of the Afro-Asiatic family on its own (see Coptic Language). |

| | Chad - Afro-Asiatic Languages |
| | Chadic languages stretch from the western borders of Nigeria to Ouaddaï Prefecture, and Arabic-speaking populations are scattered throughout the Sahel. | | | The first cluster of languages is closely associated with water--the lake, the delta, the Chari and Logone rivers, and their adjacent floodplains. | | | The numbers of speakers of these languages are small, probably because their peoples have been absorbed by more numerous neighbors through intermarriage or emigration. |
