    Extractions: JREF Forum General Topics Religion and Philosophy PDA View Full Version : Horus, Ra and Thoth BeholdTheTruth 28th June 2006, 05:50 AM What's the origin of Ra the sun god and Thoth the moon god being the two eyes of Horus? And is there any truth that the word "thought" is etymologically related to the name "Thoth", especially as a thought is a reflection ala light bouncing off the moon? 28th June 2006, 07:52 AM As for the etymology, the OED links thought to Old English roots, with related terms in Old Saxon, Old Norse, and Gothic. I suppose it's possible that there's a connection to Thoth on some level, but if so it's not one that's been established. TragicMonkey 28th June 2006, 02:24 PM The Egyptians didn't call him "Thoth", that's how English speakers transliterated it millennia later. Last I heard of the matter, the experts were pronouncing it "Tehuti". Which sounds Polynesian to me, but heck, ancient Egypt was a long time ago. Words from their language would be extremely improbable to pop up in modern English. Just as likely as finding Babylonian words, or Hittite. Meffy 28th June 2006, 02:42 PM

    Extractions: The best source for African travel information. The number of distinctive languages spoken in Africa is open to debate. Some experts put the number at around , while others count more than . Virtually all of these languages originated in Africa. The most widely spoken indigenous African language is Swahili , spoken by nearly 50 million Africans, followed by Hausa and Yoruba , each with more than 20 million speakers. Several languages have only a few thousand speakers. Scholars generally recognize four African language families: Niger-Congo, Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan, and Khoisan. Most Africans are multilingual, meaning that they speak two or more different languages. Few can afford to be otherwise, since daily life often brings people into contact with others who speak different languages. For instance, more than 50 languages are spoken in Nigeria alone. Tanzania, with significantly fewer people, has nearly 100 languages, including at least one from each of the four language families. North Africans and converts to Islam have spoken Arabic for centuries, and the use of European languages has spread across the continent since the dawn of colonialism. Today, the language of a country's former colonial rulers often serves as its common tongue.

    Extractions: click for full size image However, a simple four-way division betrays the fact that much of Africa's linguistic history as well as the relationships between languages and some language groupings are not yet fully understood. Much work on these issues still remain to be done. There are several "non-African" languages spoken in Africa (e.g. Malagasy, English, French, etc.), as well as many pidgins/creoles and other "new" languages. Moreover, many (indigenously) African languages are yet to be satisfactorily classified. The adjoining map depicts a slightly more skeptical view on the African language situation than that of the traditional Greenbergian view.
