Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
Kaw-Kaw was a community or language group located in the Nubian hills and identified in the excerpt as an important subject for linguistic and interdisciplinary research. Comparisons involving Kaw-Kaw were presented as a possible link between ancient Egyptian and Wolof. The symposium also described the group as being in imminent danger of extinction, prompting recommendations for urgent study.

Le récit
Kaw-Kaw appears in the discussion as a group associated with the Nubian hills and as a significant case for investigating relationships between ancient Egyptian and African languages. The group is mentioned alongside broader comparisons involving Wolof and other African peoples. Its position in the debate is linguistic as much as ethnographic.
A proposed connection between Kaw-Kaw and ancient Egyptian was framed through comparison with Wolof. The excerpt identifies the Nubian hills as the place where the clearest link was believed to have been found. This interpretation remained part of a research programme rather than an uncontested conclusion, since the participants stressed the need for systematic comparative linguistics.
The symposium recommended an urgent linguistic study of Kaw-Kaw because the group was considered to be in imminent danger of disappearing. It also proposed an interdisciplinary inquiry into the community. These recommendations show that the group was treated not only as a linguistic subject but also as a population requiring direct regional investigation.
