Abstract:

The term 'pygmies' long time summarized simply all dwarfish populations of
foragers scattered all over the equatorial rainforest of Africa. Missionaries
and early ethnologists were fascinated by them because they assumed that the
pygmy groups had a common origin and were perhaps direct, almost pure
descendants of a very early Stone Age culture. The currently about 20 pygmy
forager populations seem to be closely related molecular genetically. However,
the pygmy populations speak different languages. An early explanation for this
fact assumes that the pygmies are the autochthonous population of the
equatorial rain forest and as such spoke once their uniform indigenous 'pygmy'
language, a kind of common pygmy proto-language. The present study provides
for the first time missing linguistic data of three baMbuti languages: Efe,
Atsoa and iButi. The oral literature shows interesting, unexpected parallels
suggesting a substratum of a common proto-language.
