e/Paranilotic languages

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The Eastern and Southern Nilotic languages were formerly widely believed to constitute a single Paranilotic (or, earlier, "Nilo-Hamitic") grouping; they were believed to have arisen as a sort of "mixed language" combining Nilotic (modern Western Nilotic) and "Hamitic" (in particular, modern Cushitic) elements. The theory was most strongly associated with the work of Carl Meinhof. However, ever since Joseph Greenberg's reclassification of African languages, they have been considered to be two out of the three independent branches of Nilotic.
