| Arabic is a branch of the Semitic languages, which in turn belongs to the Afro-Asiatic language family together with Berber, Ancient Egyptian, Chadic, and Cushitic. |
| Finally, in languages like Lele, an East Chadic language, and Yg Dii, an Eastern Adamawa language, logophoric marking can be done in all three persons. |
| A common strategy of focusing a DP-constituent in Chadic is to move it to a designated position. |
| It is therefore very beneficial that the Morphologies volume offers surveys of four different Chadic languages. |
| Since proto-Afrasian was probably not tonal, the most likely source of tone in Chadic is early and continued contact with non-Afrasian tone languages. |
