| Nov 6, 2017 at 17:41 | comment | added | jlawler | There's several problems here. It's likely that there was always somebody around anywhere populous in N. Africa who could speak any language involved in trade. The questions, for any language at any time, are: how many people spoke it, what dialect(s) did they speak, and what other languages/dialects did they speak? That gives you a picture of one generation; then do the next one, and the next, and you begin to get an idea. Lacking that kind of information, we can't tell what path words have taken to get where people speak them today. | |

| Nov 6, 2017 at 1:01 | comment | added | user6726 | Well, Berber was and is spoken; your question then is ? why didn't a Romance language supplant Berber? | |
