You know the deal, Llywrch. If you get ahold of the book before I do, can you check the page? 187 online, so maybe 194 in the book? — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk 21:06, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Capital

"Cap." seems to mean "capital city". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.155.60 (talk) 13:46, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox parameter

As per Template:Infobox ethnic group, the "related" parameter is earmarked for actual ethnic groups. "Cushitic" and "Ethiosemitic" are language phyla, not ethnic groups. Certain speakers of these phyla are also actually of assimilated origin - such as the Daasanach, who originally spoke a Nilo-Saharan language. Soupforone (talk) 02:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On many ethnicity wikipedia pages you will find macro-groupings, mainly based on linguistic clustering. See Germans, Swedes, Spaniards, Italians, Thai_people. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to include 'and other Cushitic peoples' on the wiki pages of Cushitic ethnic groups. As for outliers like the Daasanach, they are not common and only form a tiny minority among Cushitic speakers. The vast majority of Cushitic speakers are genetically closely related through proto-Cushitic ancestry. Hence, I will put it up on said pages.Wadaad (talk) 21:25, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As regards the Ireland population figure, your Hapa link is only four years more recent than the official census figure. It is also based in part on anecdotal tabulations, as the link itself explains in a caveat: Based on the statistics available and anecdotal evidence provided by HAPA... This is only a rough estimate, and should not be regarded in any way as an official figure. I've therefore noted the official census figure. Soupforone (talk) 02:20, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Germanic-speaking peoples are indeed related, so that's not all that strange. They did not absorb foreign groups on the same scale as the Cushitic and Ethiosemitic-speaking populations of old. The modern Dahalo, Boni and Sanye are just a few of the many other assimilated populations that were originally non-Afro-Asiatic speakers and still are biologically distinct. It's not just the Daasanach, obviously. I see though that you are keen on clinging onto the tenuous Cushitic grouping. Anyway, outside of the Afro-Asiatic nucleus in Northeast Africa, I agree that a vestigial Cushitic element does persist in certain subequatorial areas where perhaps it should have been extinguished long ago. For example, observe how the Iraqw dentally cluster with European Americans before the Datog, despite the fact that they actually intermarried with the latter Nilotes [1]. It is that old Cushitic ancestry shining through, surely :) Soupforone (talk) 02:20, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
