Vivid representatives of a mixture of races and nationalities. The most beautiful Afro-Asian and black Indian women

But also ordinary people, whose faces are a kind visual material that in almost every person there is at least one or two mixed races and nationalities.

But travel photographer Jimmy Nelson had a unique opportunity to capture vivid portraits of various nationalities and cultures in his works.

And it’s not at all surprising that most of photographs was included in the author’s book entitled “Until They Disappeared,” because in the photo, warlike men and specifically beautiful women, whose traditions, rituals and way of life, for the majority modern people still remains a mysterious mystery.

Bak language (one)

Altai family of languages

The Altaic family of languages ​​includes Turkic (Turkish, Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Tatar, Bashkir, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Chuvash, Yakut, Tuvan, Khakass languages), Mongolian (Mongolian, Buryat, Kalmyk languages), Tungus-Manchu (Siberian, Manchurian and Amur language groups) And Japanese-Ryukyuan (Japanese, Ainu, Ryukyuan languages) language branches, and Korean language isolate. These languages ​​are widespread in Northeast Asia, central Asia And of Eastern Europe(Buryatia, Kalmykia, etc.).

Basque language (self-name Euskara) is the language of the Basques, the people inhabiting the Basque Country (Navarre) - the northern regions of Spain and the adjacent southern regions of France. The Basque language, unlike other European languages, does not belong to either the Indo-European or any of the other languages. famous families languages, and is the so-called isolated language. The genetic connections of the language have not been established, but Basque has traditionally been included by scientists in the so-called Paleo-Spanish languages, and more broadly in the unclassified and probably heterogeneous group of Mediterranean languages.

Total number There are about 800,000 carriers, most of whom (700 thousand) live in the Basque Country, of which more than 500 thousand live in the Spanish part. A small number of speakers live in other regions of Europe, America and Australia.

The Basque language is divided into a number of dialects, very different from each other. The unified literary Basque language was created in the 1960s. linguist Koldo Michelena.

The Basque language is not related to any known language family. There is an assumption about its connection with the Aquitanian language (see links in the article Iberian letter). According to another hypothesis, the Basque language reveals an ancient relationship with the Sino-Caucasian macrofamily.

Afroasiatic languages ​​(sometimes also Afroasiatic; the name “Semitic-Hamitic” is also very common today) is a family of languages ​​that includes six branches of languages ​​that have the characteristics common origin(presence of related root and grammatical morphemes). Sometimes it is included in a more general formation - the Nostratic macrofamily of languages ​​(uniting the Indo-European, Kartvelian, Uralic, Dravidian and Altai families). At the same time, in Lately the Afroasiatic macrofamily is excluded from the Nostratic one and is considered along with the latter as a separate and independent macrofamily, but closely related to the Nostratic one.

Afroasiatic languages ​​include both living and dead languages. The former are currently distributed over a vast area, occupying the territory of Western Asia (from Mesopotamia to the coast of the Mediterranean and Red Seas) and vast territories of East and North Africa - right up to the Atlantic coast. Separate groups of representatives of Afroasiatic languages ​​are also found outside the main territory of their distribution. Total The current number of speakers, according to various estimates, ranges between 270 million and 300 million people.

The Afroasiatic family includes the following language branches:

· Berber-Libyan languages. Living languages ​​of this family are widespread in North Africa west from Egypt and Libya to Mauritania, as well as in the oases of the Sahara, up to Nigeria and Senegal. In Morocco, Berber speakers make up about 40% of the country's total population, in Algeria - about 25%. In Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Mauritania, the Berber-speaking population is smaller. All living languages ​​are unwritten. The Berber tribes of the Tuareg (Sahara) use their own script, called Tifinagh, which dates back to the ancient Libyan script. Libyan writing is represented by short rock inscriptions discovered in the Sahara and Libyan Desert; the earliest of them date back to the 2nd century BC. e. The inscriptions have been partially deciphered; they are divided into three groups of monuments: Fezzan-Tripolitan, Western Numidian and Eastern Numidian. The languages ​​of these inscriptions represent a group of dead languages ​​of the Berber-Libyan family.

· Ancient Egyptian language. With its later descendant - the Coptic language - it is a dead language. It was widespread in the middle and lower Nile valley (modern Egypt). The first written monuments of ancient Egypt date back to the end of the 4th - beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. e. It existed as a living and spoken language until the 5th century AD. e. Monuments of the Coptic language have been known since the 3rd century AD. e.; To XIV century it falls into disuse, surviving as the cult language of Coptic christian church. In everyday life, Copts, who number about 8 million people at the end of 2010, use Arabic and are now considered an ethno-confessional group of Egyptian Arabs.

· Cushitic languages. Of these, only living ones are known, distributed in Northeast Africa: in the northeast of Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, northern Kenya and western Tanzania. The number of speakers is about 25.7 million.

· Omoto languages. Living unwritten languages, common in southwestern Ethiopia. The number of speakers is about 1.6 million people. They began to stand out as an independent branch of the Afro-Asian macrofamily only recently (G. Fleming, M. Bender, I. M. Dyakonov). Some scientists attribute the Omot languages ​​to the Western Cushitic group, which separated from Prakushitic earlier than the others.

· Semitic languages. The most numerous of the Afro-Asian language families; represented by modern living languages ​​(Arabic, Maltese, New Aramaic dialects, Hebrew, Ethio-Semitic - Amharic, Tigre, Tigrinya, etc.), widespread in the Arab East, Israel, Ethiopia and North Africa, islands - in other countries of Asia and Africa . The number of speakers varies according to different sources, amounting to approximately 200 million. Semitic also includes ancient languages ​​- Akkadian, Ugaritic, Eblaitic, Phoenician, Hebrew, Old Aramaic, epigraphic South Arabian, Ancient Ethiopian - Ge'ez.

· Chadian languages. This branch includes more than 150 modern languages and dialect groups. Distributed in Central and Western Sudan, in the Lake Chad region, Nigeria, Cameroon. The Hausa speakers are the most numerous, numbering around 30-40 million; For most of them, Hausa is not their native language, but a language of international communication.

As you know, there are 4 large races in the world: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid and Australoid (this includes, for example, the aborigines of Australia). The descendants of interracial marriages are called mestizos, but, as a rule, mestizos mean the descendants of Caucasians and Mongoloids. The descendants of Negroids and Caucasians are called mulattoes. As for the Australoids, for example, Polynesians (Maoris and others) or Filipinos are a mixture of three races: Australoid, Mongoloid and Caucasian (see and rating).
Negroids practically did not mix with the Mongoloid and Australoid races. This is due to the fact that the part of Africa that is inhabited by Negroids borders on territories inhabited by Caucasoid peoples to the north and east. The only region, where the mixing of Negroids and Mongoloids occurred is the island of Madagascar near the southeastern coast of Africa. In the first millennium AD, immigrants from Indonesia entered Madagascar by sea, where they mixed with Negroid representatives of the Bantu tribes. The inhabitants of Madagascar are called Malagasy, there are about 20 million of them.
The second wave of mixing of Mongoloids and Negroids occurred in America through the mixing of people from Africa and Indians. Descendants from such marriages Latin America are called sambo, and in the USA - black Indians.
Another small proportion of mixed Negroid-Mongoloid marriages are descendants of marriages between African Americans and Asians. The descendants of such marriages are called Afro-Asians (Malagasy also fit the definition of "Afro-Asians").
This rating contains the most beautiful, in my opinion, Afro-Asian and black Indian women. There is also a Malagasy representative. The rating includes only those girls who do not have Caucasian roots. What an Afro-Asian woman with European roots looks like can be seen in the example of Noémie Lenoir, who is part of.
