Home›Other Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan Languages›All Other Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesBrowse ByAll Other Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesReference and ClassificationDevelopingA residual African bucket combining three genealogically distinct groups because each is represented by only one or two live entities in this atlas: the non-Semitic Afro-Asiatic branches (Berber Languages, Ancient Egyptian and its later stage Coptic, the Chadic language Hausa, and the Cushitic languages Oromo and Somali), the Nilo-Saharan family (Zarma), and the Khoisan family (Khoekhoe). Grouping them together is a browsing convenience, not a genetic claim. Does not belong here: a Semitic language, grouped under Semitic Languages, or a Niger-Congo language, grouped under Bantu Languages or Other Niger-Congo Languages; despite all being African, these are separate families with no closer relation to this bucket's members than to each other.All Other Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)All Other Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesFilter Results11 entriesLanguage Family (Classification)AllAfro-Asiatic (4)Berber languages (1)Cushitic (2)Khoisan (1)Macro-Somali languages (1)Nilo-Saharan (1)Nilotic (2)Oromoid languages (1)RegionAllAncient Egypt, along the Nile Valley (1)Horn of Africa (1)Namibia, Botswana and South Africa (1)North Africa and Berber diaspora (1)Oromia (1)West Africa (1)StatusAllExtinct (1)Liturgical / Learned Use Only (1)Living (9)Speaker Count BandAll0.000000 (1)200000.000000 (1)900000.000000 (1)6000000.000000 (1)13800000.000000 (1)24000000.000000 (1)45500000.000000 (1)94000000.000000 (1)Script UsedAllArabic Script (2)Coptic Alphabet (1)Egyptian Hieroglyphs (1)Latin Script (5)Libyco-Berber Alphabet (1)Tifinagh (1)Period Start YearAll-3200 (1)300 (1)1201 (1)1601 (1)Language KindAllExtinct (2)Safe (5)Vulnerable (1)Official StatusAllCo-Official Language (2)No Official Status (2)Official Language (2)Recognized Regional or Minority Language (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 11Ancient EgyptianOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesBerber LanguagesOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesCopticOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesDinka languageOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesHausaOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesKhoekhoeOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesNuer languageOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesOromoOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesSomaliOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesTamasheq languageOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesZarmaOther Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Khoisan LanguagesComments (0)No comments yet.
