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:
“We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“There are certain books in the world which every searcher for truth must know: the Bible, the Critique of Pure Reason, the Origin of Species, and Karl Marx’s Capital.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“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)
