>These aren't real™ african writing scripts because....THEY JUST AREN'T OK
Why are chuds like this?

>>17867383 (OP)
What's the script on the left?

>>17867383 (OP)
they think all culture is formed in a vacuum and that only Europeans had culture for some reason, except even by their own logic this isn't true because even in Europe the only real civilization and culture for 90 percent of its history happened along the Mediterranean city-states

>>17867384
Meriotic script in Sudan, is in the Nilo-Saharan branch within the Afro-Asiatic language family

>>17867388
It's clearly Latins that brought it down there.

>>17867412
Latin script comes from Phoenician

>>17867388
Nilo-Saharan and Afroasiatic are two separate language families.

>>17867415
Highly debatable. Romans said it came from Cadmus, but Ovid puts Cadmus as an Anatolian. Others say it's literally a Greek invention- that's the Byzantine version through the Souda.

>>17867450
And that greeks are secretly not africans

>>17867383 (OP)
People without domesticated animals or metallurgy have no need of script to make records of trade.

What were they supposed to trade, "my cool rock I found" for "my cool seashell I found"?

At least with the SAs knots it makes sense, alpacas for silver etc.

>>17867456
Ok this will take a post

They had all those things, as an egyptian ruler you were allowed to just go around africa and civilize anything, they sure kept pets from all over the place

Africa was their playground and school and records of it, as well as the domesticated animals themselves exist today

Now both of this informations exist in your brain, yet you go hur duracell muh racism

>>17867456
They used memorization and memorization tools to keep track of things in Africa.

White Ethiopians definitely aren't black Bantus.

>>17867479
Africa as in the home of africans is a geographical location not a skin color, not because when left among their color peers blacks play basketball it means basketball is racist

>>17867450
Didn’t the Greeks say Cadmus was a Phoenician?

>>17867383 (OP)
Because their view is the only authentic African is the Bantu hunter gatherer in iron age villages anything else isn't a real African in their view

>>17867385
Hell, Europeans never invented writing, the Greeks got their alphabet from the Phoenicians.
>>17867450
The Greek alphabet is very obviously derived from the Phoenician alphabet if you look at them side-by-side. The letter names also have no clear meaning in Greek but sound very much like the Phoenician names.

>>17867680
>the Greeks got their alphabet from the Phoenicians.
Wrong, Phoeniciants didn't use any alphabet, it was an abjad, they could only write consonants.
>t's s f ws wrtng n sch a wy
It's as if I was writing in such a way
Greek invented alphabet and we can't deny it

>>17867730
Anon, an abjad is a type of aphabet, more specifically it's a consonantal alphabet. At best you can argue the Greeks invented vowels. In fact, the earliest form of the Greek Alphabet WAS just the Phoenician alphabet but with vowels added to it.

>>17867730
The use of the term "alphabet" as exclusive of abjads and abugidas is fairly recent and specific to linguistics, you can find lots of references historically and even now to e.g. "the Hebrew alphabet". But granted that the Greeks innovated the concept of having distinct letters for vowels, representing an advance on the previous state of the art. (Apparently Phoenician didn't really need to because of its linguistic structure.)

>>17867735
>Apparently Phoenician didn't really need to because of its linguistic structure
this keeps baffling me
>hey, our languages form words by having consonantal roots for a general meaning, which we then specialize into actual different words by inserting wovels between them. if arabic or assyrian, we even express plurals by changing those wovels.
>let's not write wovels at all
>oh shit, it does not work. you know what, let sometimes alef mean A, yod mean I and wav mean U. but only sometimes and there shall not be any rhyme or reason to it.
abjads are inferior to alphabets. those people simply stopped innovating as soon as a rudimentary writing system was in place. greek or indeed any indo-european language would be much better suited for abjads than the afroasiatic ones.

>>17868397
To my understanding, the way the structure of it works is such that homographs are usually different parts of speech or otherwise grammatically different, such that it's pretty easy to tell by the grammatical structure of the surrounding sentence, like how we can tell whether "lead" in English is pronounced "leed" or "led" because one is a verb and one is a noun.

>>17867680
>The Greek alphabet is very obviously derived from the Phoenician alphabet if you look at them side-by-side
They're related- I'm saying they're not originally from the region of Phoenicia, but there are three other theories. Two of those theories is that they're from the Egyptians, based on two written sources (unsure if they're authentic), or that it's derived from linear Elamite (which precedes the earliest Canaanite by two centuries). What you're saying is that Canaanites invented it, but that seems unlikely because the language family spreads like wildfire among IE speakers, not Egyptians or Canaanites and the Mesopotamians are late to receive it.
>The letter names also have no clear meaning in Greek but sound very much like the Phoenician names
I'd like to see where this is ultimately sourced from. Greeks had different names for the letters based on dialect. Doric's called their sigma "san" for example.

>>17867383 (OP)
Anything anywhere near the red sea can safely be assumed to have been done by whites. And let's not forget the white lake Chad civilization whose products are often misatributed to blacks.

>>17868444
Well, yes, it's all ultimately from Egyptian, but it's pretty uncontroversial that the Greeks got it via the Phoenicians.

>>17868461
Reformed* Egyptian

*Book of Mormon is from Ethiopia

>>17867383 (OP)
Is it a coincidence Eritreans have the most Eurasian DNA (55~%) amount sub saharoids? I wonder oh I wonder.

>>17869188
The Book of Mormon is a forgery and there is no such language as "Reformed Egyptian".

>>17869200
Lmao imagine trying to whitewash Africans in 2025. Shirs getting old. More so when you throw out numbers totally out of context.

>>17868397
>abjads are inferior to alphabets
That sounds like you couldnt understand them so you hrrw a bitch fit same way people here complain a out Chinese script.

>>17867385
The Carolingian script the Renaissance Italians wrote in was invented in Germany

>>17869315
The issue with Chinese script is mainly that it takes way more time and effort to learn.

>>17869444
That doesn't matter what they already have the vast majority of the population literate.
>that it takes way more time and effort to learn.
Literally does NOT matter, there is no stopping point to it regardless of script.

>>17869529
What do you mean "no stopping point"? Once you know all the letters in, say, Finnish you can sound out any word reliably.

>>17867680
Retard alert. Greeks had writing before alphabet.

>>17869572
And then they lost it and reacquired it from the Phoenician. (Also the writing they had before they got from the Minoans.)

>>17869574
>Also the writing they had before they got from the Minoans
And?

>>17869307
Cope more blackie. It was southern Arabians that brought the script to the other side of the Red Sea. Look up any g25 chart to see the proof.

>>17869211
It is a forgery in the same sense that Jesus Christ was the "forger" of our faith (per the Bible).
