East Numidian, also known as Old Libyan, was the language of the Maesulians of the eastern part of ancient Numidia during
the Pre-Roman era, in what is now Libya. The language is scarcely attested, and can only be confidently identified as Afro-Asiatic;
however, the Maesulians were ethnically Berber, and it is supposed that East Numidian was therefore a Berber language. The
Berber branch of Afro-Asiatic is sometimes called Libyco-Berber, as it is not certain that East Numidian would fall within
the modern Berber languages, or form a sister branch to them. Indeed, it is widely supposed that it forms a group of its own,
as there is no trace of the noun-case system shared by the modern Berber languages. |
