Abstract:
|
Ortiz de Montellano, Haslip-Viera and Barbour (1997) argue that there is no linguistic evidence for
Pre-Columbian contact between African and Amerind languages. Using comparative and historical linguistic
methods the author outlines the evidence from the Otomi and Mayan languages which indicate the
borrowing/copying of Manding/Mande lexical items by speakers of these languages in Pre-Columbian times.
Key words: Maya, Olmec, Taino, , , ,
