ivorian225: The Kru
number: 10 millions
The Kru languages belong to the Niger–Congo language family and are spoken by the Kru people from the southeast of Liberia to the east of Ivory Coast. The term "Kru" is of unknown origin. According to Westermann (1952) it was used by Europeans to denote a number of tribes speaking related dialects. Marchese (1989) notes the fact that many of these peoples were recruited as “crew” by European seafarers; “the homonymy with crew is obvious, and is at least one source of the confusion among Europeans that there was a Kru/crew tribe”[1] Andrew Dalby noted the historical importance of the Kru languages for their position at the crossroads of African-European interaction and wrote that “Kru and associated languages were among the first to be encountered by European voyagers on what was then known as the Pepper Coast, a center of the production and export of Guinea and melegueta pepper; a once staple African seaborne trade”.[2] The Kru languages are known for some of the most complex tone systems in Africa, rivaled perhaps only by the Omotic languages.

Subgroups and associated languages

The Kru languages include many subgroups such as Kuwaa, Grebo, Belle, Belleh, Kwaa and many others. According to Breitbonde, categorization of communities based on cultural distinctiveness, historical or ethnic identity and socio-political autonomy“ may have brought about the large numbder of distinct Kru dialects; "Although the natives were in many respects similar in type and tribe, every village was an independent state; there was also very little intercommunication".[4] Breitbonde notes the Kru people were categorized based on their cultural distinctiveness, separate historical or ethnic identities, and social and political autonomy. This is the possible reason for so many subgroups of the Kru language. Unfortunately, as noted by Fisiak, there is very little documentation on the Kru and associated languages.[5]
The Marchese (1989) classification of Kru languages is as follows. Many of these languages are dialect clusters and are sometimes considered more than a single language.

الملكي فوق الله: So that is your Sn on FBD?

Sybellah:

yup that's his my sn there

Ehh?...

الملكي فوق الله: So the Kru Women Are the Thickest Ehh?

Damn i have been sleeping on the Kru

Thicker than the Akan and Ga of Ghana is a Huge Statement....

Ok, on FBD, you wrote that the Kru have more of a sudanid head structure/morph

Now...in opinion based on my knowledge of study...

Sudanid Phenos never gain and load weight with width the same way Guinesids Do

Wide Round Heads=Round Wider More Robust Bodies.

Long Narrow Heads=Longer Skinnier Thinner Frames.

For the Most Part.

So, what makes you feel/say the Kru are Thicker than the Akans and Ga of Ghana......?
