Blench

[edit]

I haven't found anything similar to the followed section in mentioned Blench's manuscript: "Roger Blench notes that the Talodi and Heiban languages have the noun-class systems characteristic of the Atlantic-Congo core of Niger-Congo, but that the Katla languages have no trace of ever having had such a system, whereas the Kadu languages and some of the Rashad languages appear to have acquired noun classes as part of a Sprachbund rather than having inherited them. He concludes that the Kordofanian languages do not form a genealogical group, but that Talodi and Heiban are core Niger-Congo whereas Katla and Rashad form a peripheral branch along the lines of Mande."

Is it taken from his other work or just thought up? --Koryakov Yuri (talk) 17:08, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite this article!

[edit]

This article (and its 4 children) is in need of rewriting. None of the claims is properly referenced, and, even more seriously, it would be impossible to find (even incredible) references for the views expressed in this article. I wonder if the responsible author (this is surely a single author article) is still around and prepared to discuss this.
