"just as I did, in 1983."

Horror movies sorted into Smirke's 14 +the Extinction.

Me: I'm good, I have romance at home.

Romance I have at home:

• “The Languages and Linguistics of Africa” (2018); Güldemann ed.

• “Beyond ‘Khoisan’: Historical Relations in the Kalahari Basin” (2014); Güldemann & Fehn ed.

• “ The Bantu Languages (Second Edition)” (2019); Van de Velde, Bostoen, Nurse, & Philippson ed.

• “Egyptian-Coptic Linguistics in Typological Perspective” (2015); Grossman, Haspelmath, & Richter

• “Dotawo: Journal of Nubian Studies (vol. 1)” (2014); Jakobi, Ruffini, & van Gerven Oei ed.

• “Negotiating and Contesting Identities in Linguistic Landscapes” (2016); Blackwood, Lanza, & Woldemariam ed.

• “Historical Linguistics and the Comparative Study of African Languages” (2011); Dimmendaal

• “Nilo-Saharan: Models and Descriptions” (2015); Mietzner & Storch ed.

Of course, this doesn’t cover the entire breadth (minus Güldemann 2018) and there does need to be a degree of critical reading that’ll surely lead you to a plethora of other paths and so forth—but I chose these mainly because of either their broad reach, or their familiarity. Like I said, they’re good starting points and just always remember Nilo-Saharan is not a valid phylum. Also, yes these are all works from the 2010’s but all of them do require again, critical reading! I cannot say that enough.
