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.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Our theism is the purification of the human mind. Man can paint, or make, or think nothing but man. He believes that the great material elements had their origin from his thought.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.”
—Neal Cassady (1926–1968)
