In Plateau Tonga, stars that Twinkle are Inyenyenzi - which means 'Twinkle Twinkle'. The stars that don't twinkle like the sun are zuba/suba - they always knew the sun was a star. We call the Moon(when it is full) Mwezi and we count by moon days. The length of a moon cycle is Mwezi, which strictly speaking it means ‘We(us)’, ‘Zi(absence) so ‘Absence of Us’ - the Moon is very important from a mythological/spiritual perspective. The Grammar: ‘we’ is the subject of the verb ‘zi’. ‘M’ denotes ‘within’. The difference between 'we' and 'ye' determines which is correct to use. When we reference something familiar such as the moon, we use 'we' which denotes 'us'. But not all stars are familiar to us, so we use 'ye' which denotes 'you' - to describe all stars that twinkle including those unfamiliar to us.
@@inyenyenzi are you from Zim or SA? Have you heard about determinatives in mdw nTr? I'm from the South too and I speak multiple Bantu languages. Please let me know if you've heard about determinatives. You know in r n km.t the sun is Ra and it's written in mdw nTr with a dot circled by a disc and sbA is a star at it's most basic meaning and it's written with a 5 point star. Another meaning for sbA is instructor/teacher and that's the one shown by a man with a stick in hand determinative.
Term Izuba is Kinyarwanda for Sun. The glyphs make even more sense once looked at from a Kinyarwanda language analysis. Unbeknownst to many Africans, Kinyarwanda is the mother language of All the 650 Bantu dialects spoken across Africa. Kinyarwanda stemmed from the ancient Ri language spoken by the Abanyakimari aka the Sumerians. MTW NTR stands for Matwi y'intare meaning voices of the Gods or words for the ears of the Lions[Gods]. I like that she tried to relate the stem MTW to MJW [Majwi meaning Voices] it keeps the research in the right direction.
I would love to learn more about this. I spent a couple of months in Rwanda (almost moved there permanently) and fell in love with the Kinyarwanda language.
Thank you so much for this! It’s very helpful. Can you also do a video about Inzalo Ye Langa if you know of it? It is the oldest stone calendar in the world in South Africa.
But i think "suba. De wa mudjati" as a muganda this might mean "enjuba ya wa makati" meaning that the "middle sun" which in Misiri was known as the middle fire or pyramid 🤔
So if "Nofuli" is a beautiful sound in meaning then would likely mean the description of the Gardner symbol being a "heart and trachea" - which is a newer description from the original - is incorrect. The original description was the "Nofuli" was an upright lute; which is still played throughout Africa. I always gravitated toward it being a lute because it appears on the first coin created by Kemet called the "Nfr Nb" in the 26th Dynasty which contains the gold necklace (nb) of Kushite kings, and the "Nofuli." If in one instance the gold coin has jewelry then it would make sense that the other symbol would be an object of creation versus an inner anatomy of the body.
Thx...how I wish I can learn your bantu/or swahilli language so as to compare it to our own dailect of Nigeria Ka language of Afrika that surely bantu here which is the root of all these languages
You can use Google translate for several so called Bantu languages like Shona, Zulu, Nyanja etc. The problem is standerdised Swahili has too much Omani Arabic vocabulary, so it's not good for tracing so called proto-Bantu vocabulary.

They have the same/similar sounding vowels. For instance: _ana for the child/children -> Mtw-ana, Ngw-ana, Muy-ana, Nw-ana, N-ana etc. Mo_o/ Mu_u (similar sounding) for the person/people -> Mo-th-o / Mu-th-u / Mun-u, Munt-u. _o_e/ _o_i for danger -> kotse/ngozi _a_o for love -> Ler-a-t-o / Th-a-nd-o, r-a-ndz-o. _u_u_lu/_o_o_lo for grandchild -> Motl-o-go-lo, M-u-d-u-h-u-lu, M-u-z-u-k-u-lu, Nt-u-k-u-lu. _ala for cousin -> Mz-ala, Motsw-ala, Muzw-ala etc. Each language has a combination of consonants that supports the vowel rules mentioned, so it is interesting that ancient languages like that have consonants written down without vowels. The correlation is inverted, perhaps for a reason. Finding correlations in our languages might help us map the language. But it seems Tonga is a bit more complex and interesting, a series on the language can really help.
I do agree with you that the 'modern' inserted vowels around the Kamet consonants are mere guesses. And if the ancient Africans could eliminate the vowels and still preserve the correct meaning of words, it can only mean that the language was Extremely Orderly, and most likely NOT ordinary man-concocted language. That is why I inquire of you your reason for claiming that your Proto-Bantu is "revealed" language. Sanskrit is the only language that I know for sure is not man-made, is 'revealed', to use your word. I'm not ruling out the possibility that the Mother of all Bantu languages (Proto-Bantu) is also not man-made: I just want to learn YOUR evidence in support of your "reveal" claim?
@Inyenyenzi, you continue to post amazing claims. I like it. lol However, as you should know 'amazing claims' demand even more 'amazing evidence in support'. As long as you can appreciate and understand the above Principle, as it relates to Valid Knowledge, I for one will certainly be your humble student. lol You never respond to the question about your evidence showing that your 'proto-Bantu Language is so-called "revealed" language'? Revealed by whom, to whom, and when (approximate time period)?
It's a lot to explain because the sources are fragmented but exciting but my hope is to put it all together again. African History is interesting when you take a holistic ethnographic view. Most European writers didn't know, didn't care or were told not to talk about it and hid it. They also had prejudice, which is why it was so hard to believe Ancient Egyptians were Proto-Bantu even when the British have the relics from Southern Africa in the Egyptian Hall at the British Museum. They found Mummies in Southern Africa but you've to look very hard for these buried stories. An Ushabti(Ushabutu) was found in the stone ruins in Southern Africa and it wasn't one that was brought in, it had always been there - this is there in the logs of relics found. Cecil Rhodes is buried on a sacred mountain in the Old Kingdom. Father Moreau a Jesuit Priest received a Tonga Burial Budima(drums used to create the guardian summoning sound) to call the guardians. He asked for this because we don't just do it unless someone asks(we don't evangelize) -- he asked because of what he learned among the BaTonga while he was a Priest, but the Catholic Church learned about this and did their prayers -- he made it though. I have written the research paper on the Linguistic Continuity of Mdw Ntchr/l as Plateau Tonga -- I got burnt out during editing which is why I create the videos in the meantime. But I have a list of the expressions at the Kofi link which show the languages share the same expressions and my paper includes the Proto-Bantu alphabet, which I think makes it easier to understand how they are the same language. i picked this up from a RUclips comment two years ago that simply stated 'The Ancient Egyptians were Bantu' read Fergus Shaman's work. I scoffed at first but followed the link and I found my 'pet name' that my Dad has called me my entire life and it's a level 5 word - like you've to know the culture, native speaker passed on to you through Kin-relations to know this word - then I made the connection that it was the language I speak for a few reasons I mention in the paper. Mdw Ntchr/l(l and r are interchangeable, we use l) -- we have those two words maduwi(sometimes mispelled as majuwi because people didn't understand there is an alphabet and ju and du have different meanings. Netchali is an expression we use in a song at weddings, birthdays and other happy functions. Here's a quick summary. The Kingdom fell in mid-1838 to Mzilikazi(Emil Holub recorded this fall) and Robert Moffat and Mzilikazi's goal was to unalive everyone associated with it, he even asked Moffat for a canon in 1836(william cornwallis harris writes about this), because he like Shaka couldn't successfully siege the stone walls. So they used entrenchment, Moffat told the Matebele were to go exactly and this land was part of the Kingdom, it wasn't free land. The questionable part about all this is Moffat never writes about the interior, reading only his work gives the impression he knew nothing of the interior nor did he have an interest...until you read John Campbell's writings. Moffat never even mentions his 'informant from the interior' which is mentioned by John Campbell and Moffat never mentions he instructed the Matebele to relocate to the area near the Khami ruins, which wasn't free land, it belonged to the Kingdom. So you only see this when you read multiple writers. Moffat's actions brings up the question as to who really created the Mfecane? Cape Colonists? When you read the Boer or Griqua sources of events during this time, it starts to paint a different picture, I mean they accused Moffat of having a baby with an African woman so he could be recalled from Kuruman, which was not just a missionary station but Intelligence too. On 17th September 1828* Shaka signed off a large chunk of land to the British Crown, on 22nd September he was unalived(not that he didn't deserve it). Then archeology shows the BaTonga are the earliest Bantu settlers in Southern Africa(what was called the Kalundu Culture). Then we have the origin myth saying we came from the Nile(they knew about the Nile), we always wore cloth not animal skins and the cloth was color coded - blue, red, yellow and white, mined gold and we call the best of men 'Abalombwana' - this term is found in J.Stuart's The Ancient Gold Fields of Africa: From the Gold Coast to Mashonaland misspelled as 'Abbalamba' but is also present on maps close to Inhambana Mozambique 'Abalombwa'. When we apply ethnology we start to identify people. The Zulu traditional homes for example are the same as the ***Galla Confederation and they came from a group that painted themselves with red ochre, women had tufts on their crowns and wore brass neck bangles - that is close to the Masai and related groups. But wait, the men were nomadic raiders who had cattle but didn't farm, the wore animal skins, drank blood and drank directly from the udders of cows - now who does this in Africa? The Nilo Saharan people. Then there is the very obvious render of Shaka by Nathaniel Isaacs - in this image Shaka looks very much Nilo Saharan(Nathaniel Isaacs and Henry Francis Flynn give us first hand accounts of the Zulu Nation during Shaka's terror) and modern writers love to forget to mention that Shaka's advisor and interpreter as Jacob the Swimmer - Xhosa man who spoke English and almost ended British gaining land in Natal. The Proto-Bantu in Southern Africa were invaded by the Nilo-Saharans out of Delagoa Bay and this came to be known as the Zulu. The thing that made it difficult to ascertain who was who was the Nilo-Saharans-West and Central Africans had at this point adopted Bantu derived language names and spoke versions of the Proto-Bantu Language, which made it difficult to ascertain their true origins but kept important aspects of their culture - Bantu built with stone, until we apply ethnology and date their presence. So in 1547* the Portuguese were defeated by Muzimba(J. Stuart's Gold Mines, pg 87) and his approach was very Mzilikazi and Shaka. Shaka's Grandfather came into Natal from Delagoa Bay - you don't learn that in school and it's very important because these were Muzimba's descendants after he allied with the Portuguese and became their 'man'. We know Muzimba wasn't Bantu because the Proto-Bantu looked like the Abalombwana or Abyssinian, this physical presentation was still distinctly present until 1930s. Personal experience, my Grandfather's Grandmother was born in 1884, she was described as very tall, having very light brown skin and long hair. Now, the Subiya who are now in Namibia are called Subiya because they were distinctly tall, with light brown skin and the women were abducted because of this - this in part is why African History is so fragmented. The Proto Bantu were invaded and often unalived because their Kingdom was the gold controlling Kingdom. So now when we go to the origins of the name Abyssinia according to go to A Voyage to Abyssinia by Jerónimo Lobo pg 65, he describes the Kingdom of Abyssinia as '...extended formerly from the Red Sea to the Kingdom of the Congo, from Egypt to the Indian Sea' - it was a Greek word...when we look at illustrations they've shared dress among the Proto-Bantu in Southern Africa, Ethiopia and Ancient Egypt. And the Proto-Bantu wore gold not plastic beads, and there are other changes for example the use of cow dung for building is a Nilo-Saharan practice not Proto-Bantu. There are many other cultural changes and I could go on but I will make more videos. 🥰
@@inyenyenzi Thanx for the reply. A Tonga person, eh, and an extraordinary one at that? lol That reply has a lot of good information to unpack; so I am glad you are making your videos. Your intriguing contents help one to form a better 'Big Picture' narrative of the source of the earlier 'Bantu Center', from which radiated out the many related Bantu-speaking groups of today. I'm hooked. lol I have not done anywhere close to your expert in-depth research, and I never intend to. lol. However; I do have the 'gut feeling' that you are definitely onto something that is historical and coherent, and therefore quite meaningful. That is one reason I find your content so so intriguing: It invokes that deep and natural African-connectedness, which the foreign so-called 'egyptologists' will never sense; because they are such shallow, superficial beings compared to African people. Having you, a Proto-Bantu Tonga person, recounting the story of Kamet/Ancient Egypt is so relatable and so alive. It's not easy to pull off; but you definitely could be my teacher/tutor on this subject matter. That is how much 'I'm feeling you' from the coherence of your content, which makes much sense.
@@inyenyenzi "Ushabutu" it shall be from now on. lol What is your take on why those "ushabutu" were buried with the corpse? Africans telling their own story makes so much sense: Reality is layered -- from grossest level to subtler than the subtlest level. And African people have been living in multiple levels to this day, when so many of them seek to interact with the subtler 'World of Ancestors'. The foreign grave-robbers, mislabeled as egyptologists, are superficial creatures; so they are in no position to correctly tell the story of the African Ancestors of Kamet/Ancient Egypt.
Jean Claude-Mboli is an African linguist who does not subscribe to Greenberg's language group categories and a major part of that is because Mdw Ntchr correlates heavily with Niger-Congo branched languages, as Bantu is one of those branches, as well as Afroasiatic branches depending on the dynasties of the civilization. There was a language shift in the Middle Kingdom and he told the Bantu languages most correlate to the Old Kingdom but that it is important to note that Afroasiatic, Nilo-Saharan, Niger Congo, etc. languages are all related so it is not unusual to find correlations regardless of language group or branch. Part of a theory is that Mdw Ntchr as well as other "non-voweled" scripts were written so that they could be read in the "home" language of a range of different language speakers who ultimately were still linguistically related even if they used different vowels, related consonant replacements (i.e. l for r), different suffixes/prefixes, and/or spoke languages that were not easily understood wen vocalized.
my friend, please show a real genetic relationship between bantu and non-bantu languages such as fulani. Ill give you some guidance, the second person pronouns in bantu are closer to somali (cushitic) than to fulani ("atlantic-congo"). Your saying bantu came from the congo, when this has already been disproven.
@@X60Gamers Niger Congo is the language group under which the Bantu branch exists. Fulani is in the same Niger Congo language group. Afroasiatic also is a language group under which the Chadic and Cushitic branches exist. Neither Bantu or Cushitic are isolated from one another even when they exist in different language groups.
@@kemetnubiakamp you didn't show a genetic relationship between bantu and fulani, it feels like you opened up wiki and used wiki as your argument (which uses greenberg, a white guy who classifed bantu as atlantic-congo due to typological similarities: he did not show a genetic relationship between bantu and fulani). Please show a genetic relationship. I don't need to show a genetic discontinuity because the two languages aren't related at all. So you need to prove your argument, otherwise, I reccomend not making linguistic arguments in the future.
@@X60Gamers The original comment was about Mdw Ntchr being Cushitic. I stated Jean-Claude Mboli, who is not white, stating all African languages regardless of Greensburg's language groups are related. I am not sure why you handpicked Fula that is not Cushitic to compare to Bantu branch languages? Bantu is a branch of Niger Congo. Fula is in the Atlantic Congo branch of Niger Congo and would better compare to Wolof. I don't know Fula well enough to compare to Bantu languages but there are correlations, I suspect as much as Wolof, to Mdw Ntchr. For instance, hr/hoore is the same for "face" in Mdw Ntchr and Fula. In any case, not sure what Greensburg being white versus right or wrong has anything to do with language categories given most scientific data is from white geneticists and anthropologist proving rmTw were Black and matched to Sub-Saharan Africans as also is true of classic Greek writers who were white describing all North Africans and Western Asians as Black people. So perhaps stick with theories you are trying to prove or disprove versus blanket statements making no point of evidence at all. 🤷🏾♀️
There are interesting videos on the RUclips that claim to show the influence of Africans on Japanese, Chinese cultures, etc and on their languages. Seek out those videos and you may "know why". lol
The Akan of Ghana, the Igbo of Nigeria, the Somalians, and many other Afrikan nations, even some languages in Papua New Guinea, have hundreds of word-for-word matches with the ancient Egyptian language. None of those languages are Bantu. I study all the above languages, including Bantu languages, and the ancient Egyptian language. You are right that there are Egyptian-Bantu similarities. You are wrong in calling Egyptian a "Proto-Bantu language" just as I would be wrong to call it "Proto-Akan" or "Proto-Igbo". Stop using wight people's "Proto" terms to describe our languages. It is inadequate.
Unlike the languages you just compared, we don't change the consonant sequences to force a match. Mdw Ntchl(Maduwi-voice/speech Netchali-time of bliss) are expressions we still use and we have an alphabet which gives the means for all the sounds. Among many things we also have the Jackal Headed Guardian Spirit. An UShabuta(UShabiti) that was found in the Zimbabwe area ruins and also Mummified remains. They called themselves 'Abbalombwana' - 'best of men/ men who build or builders - stone masons', the Rainmakers, the Haka (Haka Manga) to name a few things - oh and the White Vulture Clan Totem
@inyenyenzi I said nothing of "forcing a match" by changing consonant sequences. You have never studied any of the other languages I mentioned, and have only a basic understanding of the REONĢA (the ACTUAL name of the Egyptian language). But like many others, you simply like to project your Abantu people as the only true descendants of Kemet, and I'm telling you that you're wrong. Abantu history doesn't even start in Kemet. It starts tens of thousands of years before that on another continent. As with many other nations, you all were colonized by, and passed THRU, Kemet. That is the explanation for the language match that is shared by other nations with similar experiences.
@@felixmakinda7689 We all definitely did. But tell that to Africans like this who think only one group of Africans are responsible for Kemet. Foolishness. Lol
@@inyenyenzi Nefer / Nfe still means beautiful in Akan Twi. Titi still means here or right here in Twi. So Nefertiti is still an Akan phrase. I can give you multiple examples of Twi in the Mduntr without having to force anything because the Akan were the founders and the ruling class of Kemet.
Bantu…is Afro-Asiatic. We also know the names of gods like Horus…because Egyptian eventually used the Greek alphabet, which had vowels. And they wrote the names of their gods in the alphabet. also, Egyptian isn’t dead. It’s still very much alive due to Coptic
Ancient egyptian language is not related with bantu languages. It what she is interpreting and "translating" there are lies based on any real knowledge about ancient egyptian language.
And you know this because you can speak the Proto-Bantu Language? We are past the era of slow-witted people erasing, misinterpreting everyone's history and misleading everyone. Hamba.

And you know more because you know how to speak African Languages? This is African History from the interior, you are out of your element if you think it is 'Afro-Asiatic'. "Dewa Luah(we use l not r and i used sba ) Khufuta, wabona fu-ma akhati" - Like before, gave the vowels and it doesn't mean what Budge said it means - we speak the language - it means what we said it means - @gideonmatorino6038 who is Shona(derived language) supported it. Everything you have been taught is a lie and you will have an existential crisis and it's not our problem.
@@inyenyenziyour going to far by saying afro-asiatic doesn't exist. Bantu *is* an afro-asiatic language family. All the languages ive studied so far within the nigerian border are most likely bantu-based creoles (i believe from the human abductions you mentioned in the 'zanj invasion'). Yoruba and Twi are also not genetically related to Bantu, beyond loanwords. And there is a paper you can find that shows that fula dialects and Bantu have no genetic relationship (just typological similarities). Bantu is not Niger-Congo, Niger-Congo doesn't exist. You can connect Bantu to all the afroasiatic languages simply through proto-Bantu *ku- '2nd person singular object dependent pronoun', found in Somali -ku, Chadic *-ka/i, and Berber *kæy. Thos pronoun is palatalized in the current recontruction of Egyptian *.tch Bantu is Afro-Asiatic and Egyptian is also Afro-Asiatic.
Thank you Sis, I am Bantu from Zimbabwe:

**Zuba - we call it Zuva - which means SUN

**fu-m-akhati : we say fumira (raise very early).... there's a proverb in Shona which says kufumira kubata jongwe mukanwa (means raise very early before even the cock crows)
akhati means in the middle
**In Shona a Star is called Nyeredzi or inyeredzi

Can you also do a series, teaching Tonga and its how their words are formed. Our languages have the same laws for certain words and how they are pronounced. They have the same/similar sounding vowels.
For instance:
_ana for the child/children -> Mtw-ana, Ngw-ana, Muy-ana, Nw-ana, N-ana etc.
Mo_o/ Mu_u (similar sounding) for the person/people -> Mo-th-o / Mu-th-u / Mun-u, Munt-u.
_o_e/ _o_i for danger -> kotse/ngozi
_a_o for love -> Ler-a-t-o / Th-a-nd-o, r-a-ndz-o.
_u_u_lu/_o_o_lo for grandchild -> Motl-o-go-lo, M-u-d-u-h-u-lu, M-u-z-u-k-u-lu, Nt-u-k-u-lu.
_ala for cousin -> Mz-ala, Motsw-ala, Muzw-ala
etc.
Each language has a combination of consonants that supports the vowel rules mentioned, so it is interesting that ancient languages like that have consonants written down without vowels. The correlation is inverted, perhaps for a reason. Finding correlations in our languages might help us map the language.
But it seems Tonga is a bit more complex and interesting, a series on the language can really help.

That is why I inquire of you your reason for claiming that your Proto-Bantu is "revealed" language.
Sanskrit is the only language that I know for sure is not man-made, is 'revealed', to use your word.
I'm not ruling out the possibility that the Mother of all Bantu languages (Proto-Bantu) is also not man-made: I just want to learn YOUR evidence in support of your "reveal" claim?
@thereal1426Not a troll at all..infact he is correct.
@@hughmaseko9780
Good on you for appreciating that I would never ever so-called "troll" the wise and well-informed @inyenyenzi. lol
@thereal1426
Ha ha!
You projecting your state of being "troll" onto others? Stop it!
@Inyenyenzi, you continue to post amazing claims.
I like it. lol
However, as you should know 'amazing claims' demand even more 'amazing evidence in support'.
As long as you can appreciate and understand the above Principle, as it relates to Valid Knowledge, I for one will certainly be your humble student. lol
You never respond to the question about your evidence showing that your 'proto-Bantu Language is so-called "revealed" language'?
Revealed by whom, to whom, and when (approximate time period)?
It's a lot to explain because the sources are fragmented but exciting but my hope is to put it all together again.
African History is interesting when you take a holistic ethnographic view.
Most European writers didn't know, didn't care or were told not to talk about it and hid it. They also had prejudice, which is why it was so hard to believe Ancient Egyptians were Proto-Bantu even when the British have the relics from Southern Africa in the Egyptian Hall at the British Museum.
They found Mummies in Southern Africa but you've to look very hard for these buried stories. An Ushabti(Ushabutu) was found in the stone ruins in Southern Africa and it wasn't one that was brought in, it had always been there - this is there in the logs of relics found.
Cecil Rhodes is buried on a sacred mountain in the Old Kingdom. Father Moreau a Jesuit Priest received a Tonga Burial Budima(drums used to create the guardian summoning sound) to call the guardians. He asked for this because we don't just do it unless someone asks(we don't evangelize) -- he asked because of what he learned among the BaTonga while he was a Priest, but the Catholic Church learned about this and did their prayers -- he made it though.
I have written the research paper on the Linguistic Continuity of Mdw Ntchr/l as Plateau Tonga -- I got burnt out during editing which is why I create the videos in the meantime. But I have a list of the expressions at the Kofi link which show the languages share the same expressions and my paper includes the Proto-Bantu alphabet, which I think makes it easier to understand how they are the same language.
i picked this up from a RUclips comment two years ago that simply stated 'The Ancient Egyptians were Bantu' read Fergus Shaman's work. I scoffed at first but followed the link and I found my 'pet name' that my Dad has called me my entire life and it's a level 5 word - like you've to know the culture, native speaker passed on to you through Kin-relations to know this word - then I made the connection that it was the language I speak for a few reasons I mention in the paper.
Mdw Ntchr/l(l and r are interchangeable, we use l) -- we have those two words maduwi(sometimes mispelled as majuwi because people didn't understand there is an alphabet and ju and du have different meanings. Netchali is an expression we use in a song at weddings, birthdays and other happy functions.
Here's a quick summary.
The Kingdom fell in mid-1838 to Mzilikazi(Emil Holub recorded this fall) and Robert Moffat and Mzilikazi's goal was to unalive everyone associated with it, he even asked Moffat for a canon in 1836(william cornwallis harris writes about this), because he like Shaka couldn't successfully siege the stone walls. So they used entrenchment, Moffat told the Matebele were to go exactly and this land was part of the Kingdom, it wasn't free land. The questionable part about all this is Moffat never writes about the interior, reading only his work gives the impression he knew nothing of the interior nor did he have an interest...until you read John Campbell's writings. Moffat never even mentions his 'informant from the interior' which is mentioned by John Campbell and Moffat never mentions he instructed the Matebele to relocate to the area near the Khami ruins, which wasn't free land, it belonged to the Kingdom.
So you only see this when you read multiple writers.
Moffat's actions brings up the question as to who really created the Mfecane? Cape Colonists? When you read the Boer or Griqua sources of events during this time, it starts to paint a different picture, I mean they accused Moffat of having a baby with an African woman so he could be recalled from Kuruman, which was not just a missionary station but Intelligence too.
On 17th September 1828* Shaka signed off a large chunk of land to the British Crown, on 22nd September he was unalived(not that he didn't deserve it).
Then archeology shows the BaTonga are the earliest Bantu settlers in Southern Africa(what was called the Kalundu Culture). Then we have the origin myth saying we came from the Nile(they knew about the Nile), we always wore cloth not animal skins and the cloth was color coded - blue, red, yellow and white, mined gold and we call the best of men 'Abalombwana' - this term is found in J.Stuart's The Ancient Gold Fields of Africa: From the Gold Coast to Mashonaland misspelled as 'Abbalamba' but is also present on maps close to Inhambana Mozambique 'Abalombwa'.
When we apply ethnology we start to identify people.
The Zulu traditional homes for example are the same as the ***Galla Confederation and they came from a group that painted themselves with red ochre, women had tufts on their crowns and wore brass neck bangles - that is close to the Masai and related groups. But wait, the men were nomadic raiders who had cattle but didn't farm, the wore animal skins, drank blood and drank directly from the udders of cows - now who does this in Africa? The Nilo Saharan people. Then there is the very obvious render of Shaka by Nathaniel Isaacs - in this image Shaka looks very much Nilo Saharan(Nathaniel Isaacs and Henry Francis Flynn give us first hand accounts of the Zulu Nation during Shaka's terror) and modern writers love to forget to mention that Shaka's advisor and interpreter as Jacob the Swimmer - Xhosa man who spoke English and almost ended British gaining land in Natal.
The Proto-Bantu in Southern Africa were invaded by the Nilo-Saharans out of Delagoa Bay and this came to be known as the Zulu.
The thing that made it difficult to ascertain who was who was the Nilo-Saharans-West and Central Africans had at this point adopted Bantu derived language names and spoke versions of the Proto-Bantu Language, which made it difficult to ascertain their true origins but kept important aspects of their culture - Bantu built with stone, until we apply ethnology and date their presence.
So in 1547* the Portuguese were defeated by Muzimba(J. Stuart's Gold Mines, pg 87) and his approach was very Mzilikazi and Shaka. Shaka's Grandfather came into Natal from Delagoa Bay - you don't learn that in school and it's very important because these were Muzimba's descendants after he allied with the Portuguese and became their 'man'.
We know Muzimba wasn't Bantu because the Proto-Bantu looked like the Abalombwana or Abyssinian, this physical presentation was still distinctly present until 1930s. Personal experience, my Grandfather's Grandmother was born in 1884, she was described as very tall, having very light brown skin and long hair. Now, the Subiya who are now in Namibia are called Subiya because they were distinctly tall, with light brown skin and the women were abducted because of this - this in part is why African History is so fragmented. The Proto Bantu were invaded and often unalived because their Kingdom was the gold controlling Kingdom.
So now when we go to the origins of the name Abyssinia according to go to A Voyage to Abyssinia by Jerónimo Lobo pg 65, he describes the Kingdom of Abyssinia as '...extended formerly from the Red Sea to the Kingdom of the Congo, from Egypt to the Indian Sea' - it was a Greek word...when we look at illustrations they've shared dress among the Proto-Bantu in Southern Africa, Ethiopia and Ancient Egypt.
And the Proto-Bantu wore gold not plastic beads, and there are other changes for example the use of cow dung for building is a Nilo-Saharan practice not Proto-Bantu. There are many other cultural changes and I could go on but I will make more videos. 🥰
I appreciate your efforts. Please keep em coming!
@@inyenyenzi
Thanx for the reply.
A Tonga person, eh, and an extraordinary one at that? lol
That reply has a lot of good information to unpack; so I am glad you are making your videos.
Your intriguing contents help one to form a better 'Big Picture' narrative of the source of the earlier 'Bantu Center', from which radiated out the many related Bantu-speaking groups of today. I'm hooked. lol
I have not done anywhere close to your expert in-depth research, and I never intend to. lol.
However; I do have the 'gut feeling' that you are definitely onto something that is historical and coherent, and therefore quite meaningful.
That is one reason I find your content so so intriguing: It invokes that deep and natural African-connectedness, which the foreign so-called 'egyptologists' will never sense; because they are such shallow, superficial beings compared to African people.
Having you, a Proto-Bantu Tonga person, recounting the story of Kamet/Ancient Egypt is so relatable and so alive.
It's not easy to pull off; but you definitely could be my teacher/tutor on this subject matter. That is how much 'I'm feeling you' from the coherence of your content, which makes much sense.
@@inyenyenzi
"Ushabutu" it shall be from now on. lol
What is your take on why those "ushabutu" were buried with the corpse?
Africans telling their own story makes so much sense: Reality is layered -- from grossest level to subtler than the subtlest level.
And African people have been living in multiple levels to this day, when so many of them seek to interact with the subtler 'World of Ancestors'.
The foreign grave-robbers, mislabeled as egyptologists, are superficial creatures; so they are in no position to correctly tell the story of the African Ancestors of Kamet/Ancient Egypt.
It makes sense
Bantu is not an afroasiatic language right? Cuchitic is. Cheers
Jean Claude-Mboli is an African linguist who does not subscribe to Greenberg's language group categories and a major part of that is because Mdw Ntchr correlates heavily with Niger-Congo branched languages, as Bantu is one of those branches, as well as Afroasiatic branches depending on the dynasties of the civilization. There was a language shift in the Middle Kingdom and he told the Bantu languages most correlate to the Old Kingdom but that it is important to note that Afroasiatic, Nilo-Saharan, Niger Congo, etc. languages are all related so it is not unusual to find correlations regardless of language group or branch. Part of a theory is that Mdw Ntchr as well as other "non-voweled" scripts were written so that they could be read in the "home" language of a range of different language speakers who ultimately were still linguistically related even if they used different vowels, related consonant replacements (i.e. l for r), different suffixes/prefixes, and/or spoke languages that were not easily understood wen vocalized.
my friend, please show a real genetic relationship between bantu and non-bantu languages such as fulani. Ill give you some guidance, the second person pronouns in bantu are closer to somali (cushitic) than to fulani ("atlantic-congo").
Your saying bantu came from the congo, when this has already been disproven.
@@X60Gamers Niger Congo is the language group under which the Bantu branch exists. Fulani is in the same Niger Congo language group. Afroasiatic also is a language group under which the Chadic and Cushitic branches exist. Neither Bantu or Cushitic are isolated from one another even when they exist in different language groups.
@@kemetnubiakamp you didn't show a genetic relationship between bantu and fulani, it feels like you opened up wiki and used wiki as your argument (which uses greenberg, a white guy who classifed bantu as atlantic-congo due to typological similarities: he did not show a genetic relationship between bantu and fulani).
Please show a genetic relationship. I don't need to show a genetic discontinuity because the two languages aren't related at all. So you need to prove your argument, otherwise, I reccomend not making linguistic arguments in the future.
@@X60Gamers The original comment was about Mdw Ntchr being Cushitic. I stated Jean-Claude Mboli, who is not white, stating all African languages regardless of Greensburg's language groups are related. I am not sure why you handpicked Fula that is not Cushitic to compare to Bantu branch languages? Bantu is a branch of Niger Congo. Fula is in the Atlantic Congo branch of Niger Congo and would better compare to Wolof. I don't know Fula well enough to compare to Bantu languages but there are correlations, I suspect as much as Wolof, to Mdw Ntchr. For instance, hr/hoore is the same for "face" in Mdw Ntchr and Fula. In any case, not sure what Greensburg being white versus right or wrong has anything to do with language categories given most scientific data is from white geneticists and anthropologist proving rmTw were Black and matched to Sub-Saharan Africans as also is true of classic Greek writers who were white describing all North Africans and Western Asians as Black people. So perhaps stick with theories you are trying to prove or disprove versus blanket statements making no point of evidence at all. 🤷🏾♀️
I dont know why but this is oddly similar to Japanese....
There are interesting videos on the RUclips that claim to show the influence of Africans on Japanese, Chinese cultures, etc and on their languages.
Seek out those videos and you may "know why". lol
MDW we who speak Swahili we say Maduwi meaning enemy
Not quite. Enemies is - Maadui. Example - Maadui wetu (Adui zetu) - our enemies This would be M--d > Md and not Mdw@@Philis911
The Akan of Ghana, the Igbo of Nigeria, the Somalians, and many other Afrikan nations, even some languages in Papua New Guinea, have hundreds of word-for-word matches with the ancient Egyptian language. None of those languages are Bantu.
I study all the above languages, including Bantu languages, and the ancient Egyptian language. You are right that there are Egyptian-Bantu similarities. You are wrong in calling Egyptian a "Proto-Bantu language" just as I would be wrong to call it "Proto-Akan" or "Proto-Igbo". Stop using wight people's "Proto" terms to describe our languages. It is inadequate.
Unlike the languages you just compared, we don't change the consonant sequences to force a match.
Mdw Ntchl(Maduwi-voice/speech Netchali-time of bliss) are expressions we still use and we have an alphabet which gives the means for all the sounds.
Among many things we also have the Jackal Headed Guardian Spirit. An UShabuta(UShabiti) that was found in the Zimbabwe area ruins and also Mummified remains. They called themselves 'Abbalombwana' - 'best of men/ men who build or builders - stone masons', the Rainmakers, the Haka (Haka Manga) to name a few things - oh and the White Vulture Clan Totem
@inyenyenzi I said nothing of "forcing a match" by changing consonant sequences. You have never studied any of the other languages I mentioned, and have only a basic understanding of the REONĢA (the ACTUAL name of the Egyptian language).
But like many others, you simply like to project your Abantu people as the only true descendants of Kemet, and I'm telling you that you're wrong. Abantu history doesn't even start in Kemet. It starts tens of thousands of years before that on another continent.
As with many other nations, you all were colonized by, and passed THRU, Kemet. That is the explanation for the language match that is shared by other nations with similar experiences.
Egypt was cosmopolitan for thousands of years. All of us must have made contact in one way or another.
@@felixmakinda7689 We all definitely did. But tell that to Africans like this who think only one group of Africans are responsible for Kemet. Foolishness. Lol
@@inyenyenzi
Nefer / Nfe still means beautiful in Akan Twi. Titi still means here or right here in Twi. So Nefertiti is still an Akan phrase. I can give you multiple examples of Twi in the Mduntr without having to force anything because the Akan were the founders and the ruling class of Kemet.
Bantu…is Afro-Asiatic. We also know the names of gods like Horus…because Egyptian eventually used the Greek alphabet, which had vowels. And they wrote the names of their gods in the alphabet.
also, Egyptian isn’t dead. It’s still very much alive due to Coptic
Lmmfao grifring is easy
Ancient egyptian language is not related with bantu languages. It what she is interpreting and "translating" there are lies based on any real knowledge about ancient egyptian language.
And you know this because you can speak the Proto-Bantu Language? We are past the era of slow-witted people erasing, misinterpreting everyone's history and misleading everyone. Hamba.
im curious to what language you think bantu is related to if Bantu is not afrio-asiatic (as in, not having any genetic relationships to Egyptian)
Thank you Sister for the great work you are doing. Thank you for the reply you’ve given to this misinformed person.
It’s related
The word zuba in Luhyah language is Liuba meaning sun
That hieroglyphics are transliterated « dwꜣ rꜥ ḫft wbnf m ꜣḫt » and mean "worship to thee, Ra, when you bright in the horizon". She doesn't know nothing about ancient egyptian hieroglyphs.
And you know more because you know how to speak African Languages? This is African History from the interior, you are out of your element if you think it is 'Afro-Asiatic'.
"Dewa Luah(we use l not r and i used sba ) Khufuta, wabona fu-ma akhati" - Like before, gave the vowels and it doesn't mean what Budge said it means - we speak the language - it means what we said it means - @gideonmatorino6038 who is Shona(derived language) supported it.
Everything you have been taught is a lie and you will have an existential crisis and it's not our problem.
@@inyenyenziyour going to far by saying afro-asiatic doesn't exist. Bantu *is* an afro-asiatic language family. All the languages ive studied so far within the nigerian border are most likely bantu-based creoles (i believe from the human abductions you mentioned in the 'zanj invasion').
Yoruba and Twi are also not genetically related to Bantu, beyond loanwords. And there is a paper you can find that shows that fula dialects and Bantu have no genetic relationship (just typological similarities). Bantu is not Niger-Congo, Niger-Congo doesn't exist.
You can connect Bantu to all the afroasiatic languages simply through proto-Bantu *ku- '2nd person singular object dependent pronoun', found in Somali -ku, Chadic *-ka/i, and Berber *kæy. Thos pronoun is palatalized in the current recontruction of Egyptian *.tch
Bantu is Afro-Asiatic and Egyptian is also Afro-Asiatic.
