Tanzania would have been so much better if it were populated 95% by Iraqws instead of these invaders from the Congo forest.

If only they were farmers.

A lot of them look like north Ethiopians/Habesha.

@Apollo Why did you put my response post with @samaalewarrior in this thread for? Might as well delete it because I look like a fool not talking about the basic topic of Iraqw.

My response was about Southeast Bantus, not Iraqw.

Typical.... Your map doesn't even get to the Southeast Bantus. That's only the Venda and they don't get north of Zimbabwe.

"The Southeastern Bantu people cluster consists of a single ethnic group--the Venda of South Africa. Their homeland is located in northeastern Transvaal; there are also Venda living across the border in Zimbabwe. The Vendas were intricately involved with the Rozvi Kingdom, and their Bantu language is closely related to that of the Karanga of Zimbabwe. Some ethnolinguists classify their language as transitional between Sotho and Shona."

@South Cushitic I come from the Kalenjin community in Kenya, same as Barbaig, Maasai and Samburu. Our original clans were Cushites who then married Nilotic women.
Later Bantu clans joined our tribe and shifted their language. Nilotes did not absorb us it was the other way round.

Our ancestors are the Megalithic Cushites from the Azanian Civilization that existed in South east africa, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania upto Mozambique. As pastoralists they moved till Southern Africa. The Himba tribe for example are their remnants although their language shifted to Bantu

This is interesting, were Kalenjin practicing Waaq worshipping people? In East Cushitic the sky god is called Waaq, it is the same religion with Central Cushitic people like Agaws but they call the sky god Zaar instead of Waaq.

Welcome , my long distance runner bro.

 

[Kenyan Pastoralist]

@James Dahl No. But there are Somali and Borana clans in Kalenjin and Maasai. We and Barbaig worship Goddess Isis like the Beja Cushites of East Sudan.
Waaq is in our language as "Akh".
But what's interesting is Maasai worship Enkai who was from Sumeria. Maybe middle east was once Cushitic territory
All these are found in Ancient Egypt
@MARAQ DIGAAG hehe thanks bro long distance running is a pastoralist trait.

Why do you ask stupid questions?

I know the answer i just want to hear it

 

[MARAQ DIGAAG]

@ Kenya p , can you elaborate on the alleged Somali clans in the Kalenjin community.......

 

[Kenyan Pastoralist]

Cushite

so do you see yourself as Cushite, Bantu or Nilotic?

Cushitic. So are my clanmates. We look Cushitic. However most people have many Nilotic ancestors. Bantus are very different

 

[Apollo]

Kalenjins are a mixture of all those.. same with Kikuyus to be honest. Technically almost all Kenyans, merely the proportions differ per group.

There is a large clan called Woria. They were Somali herders we met in Laikipia region. Most were moved to Bomet region by British and intermarried with Kisii.

23andMe recently expanded its sub-categories. They have a Sudanese, Ethiopian-Eritrean, and Somali category.

Also, Southeast African.

Take the test, it should be interesting for you.

Are you talking about the Somalis who came during Colonial era? There were also Somali cattle traders during the Omani presence on the coast.

Great. Last I checked they only had South East Bantu. When I take i'll share it. There is scarcely any ancestry tests on us. Mostly it's Maasai.

But the Barbaig tested were about 65% Cushitic ancestry. That was more than I expected.

No Ancient Somalis. They also used to be around Central Kenya and Turkana. Yeah I know about the coastal traders. Someone once told me Mombasa was Somali. Have you heard about Rhapta? The ancient city in Dar es salaam written about by Greek traders. It was also Cushites
