Origin
Proto-Chadic language is believed* to have originated in Asia before it entered Africa as early as 7 kya, probably before or after the First Egyptian Dynasty. The speakers of Proto-Chadic might have been a Levantine population dating back to an Africa migration. And they played a larger role in the diffusion of Euro-Asian Y-Chromosome R1b R-V88 into Africa.
- One, Chadic is internally too diverse to allow for this. Two, Chadic is closest to Cushitic and Omotic than any other branch.
