The Nilo-Saharan Background of Chadic

[Apollo]

@Apollo
am pretty sure nubians are cushitic
infact racially and genetically their cushites

am almost done with my project and i included them aswell

their cushites with a lot more arab ancestry but i wouldnt call them arab
their more cushitic to me

To be frank, Modern Nubians are a mixture between these groups: Cushites, Ancient Egyptians, True Nilotes, and to a small degree post-Islam Arabians.

The same is true for Sudanese Arabs.

Ancient Nubians, probably likewise, except without the Arabian stuff that came later.

are you sure the area seemed to be mostly inhabited by cushites
around the time of kherma sudan was mostly cushites

nilotics didnt have much of an impact they still seemed to have been mostly cushitic
i belive their more racially cushite

The timeframe that Cushites who populated the Horn lived in North Sudan was ~7,000 to ~3,000 years ago. A lot has happened since then to North Sudan. Mainly a South/True Nilote resurgence and an additional new layer of Egyptian.

All those forces also happened to them. Thousands of years is a lot of time for change to happen. Somalis only represent that area how it was 5,000 years ago.

I think you mean Toubous from Northern Chad. They speak a Nilo-Saharan language. Toubous have more Afro-Asiatic autosomal admixture than Chadic speakers who live a bit more South.
