Itms Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Welcome Abdurrahman! Our main necessity is unit voices in ancient languages, but maybe we need narrative recordings in the future (for instance for campaigns). What recording material do you have at your disposal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundiata Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 3 hours ago, Lion.Kanzen said: you know about the closets language for Kush? Yeah, Napatan, was basically a dialect of late Ancient Egyptian language, was in use throughout 0AD timeframe, especially during the Napatan Period. Meroitic replaced Napatan as the dominant language around 300BC-ish. Meroitic is not understood, but has some resemblance to proto-Nubian (Nilo-Saharan) and Beja (Afro-Asiatic). Modern Nubian seems appropriate enough. I'll still try to do some recordings myself soon, but I don't know if it will be up to standard. We'll see 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundiata Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Remember that modern Hebrew is not the same as ancient Hebrew, and ancient Hebrew is not the same as Phoenician, and Phoenician is not the same as Punic. I think modern Hebrew for Carthage is a recipe for controversy. Phoenician mixed in with proto-Berber is the most appropriate approximation for Punic, I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think modern Hebrew for Carthage is a recipe for controversy. Phoenician mixed in with proto-Berber is the most appropriate approximation for Punic, I believe. Modern Hebrew is basically a revived dead language, based upon ancient Hebrew, although there are some differences, of course. Furthermore, Carthaginian, Phoenician, Aramaic, and Hebrew were different yet also mutually intelligible (cf. Danish, Swedish, Nynorsk, Bokmal). And yes, a combination of Phoenician and Proto-Berber would be better, however, very little Phoenician has survived, and Proto-Berber can only be reconstructed. Therefore Carthaginians speaking Hebrew, although historically incorrect, could be sensible nonetheless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 18 minutes ago, Nescio said: although there are some differences, of course That's what I'm worried about. There are some modernisms in regard to pronunciations and expressions in modern Hebrew derived from the modern Yiddish and Sephardic speakers that reconstructed the language. It's exactly in their pronunciation that they differ. And Berber words enter at unexpected places.. It's just things like the following quote that make me apprehensive about having modern Hebrew sounding carthaginians in what are today Arab and Berber countries: "Add to that the fact that Phoenician does display some rather surprising discrepancies with Hebrew when it comes to some of the most basic verbs, such as “to be” and “to do”, which are, at least in writing, identical to their equivalents in Arabic and Aramaic respectively rather than Hebrew, the closest relative, and it turns out the answer to the question whether Hannibal could have a talk with the priests of the Second Temple becomes less and less clear." Mixing archaic Hebrew with Berber would work though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this debate is rather theoretical, I believe. What we need is someone to provide some appropiate phrases with a proper pronunciation. My knowledge of Afro-Asiatic vocalubary is practically zero, so about anything would be acceptable to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, yeah, my Afro-Asiatic is also quite rusty, huhum, huhum... Aramaic/Hebrew mixed with Proto-Berber then? Any Aramaic/Hebrew and Proto-Berber speakers in the forum? Anyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is set in stone, and historical accuracy is what we aim at. So I'm writing down that Aramaic/Hebrew mixed with Proto-Berber suggestion in my notes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
