This work provides the first truly comprehensive and systematic
reconstruction of proto-Afroasiatic (proto-Afrasian). It rigorously
applies, throughout, the established canon and techniques of the
historical-comparative method. It also fully incorporates the most
up-to-date evidence from the distinctive African branches of the
family, Cushitic, Chadic, and Omotic. Using concrete and specific
evidence and argument, the author proposes full vowel and consonant
reconstructions and a provisional reckoning of tone. Each aspect of
these reconstructions is substantiated in detail in an extensive
etymological vocabulary of more than 1000 roots. The results, while
confirming some previous views on proto-Afroasiatic
(proto-Afrasian), revise or overturn many others, and add much that
is new.
