Talk:Toubou people

message: This could use some improvement. Sir H. MacMichael claimed that the Tibu were related to the Garamantes known to the Greeks and Romans and that they had extensive contact with Nubia to their east. The article suggests the Tibu have been important in Chadian history, but doesn't detail their links to the Zaghawa dynasty that ruled Kanem. I'm hesitant to add too many historical details - esp. involving Greco-Roman connections - on the basis of Victorian British sociology, but someone should be able to expand this article with more modern research. -LlywelynII (talk) 16:47, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  DNA 

message: Regarding the Teda, the text currently says  "...while the Teda are only 42,000" and later "They number more than 50,000". I say leave it in: presumably it reflects two sources. Removing just one would give false accuracy, and removing both would be misleading (as presumably they reflect two genuine estimates). Or perhaps replace with "estimates vary, some saying 42,000, some saying more than 5,000" ? 2.96.20.250 (talk) 16:03, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone has removed this altogether, instead putting 750,000. However, the small number was not wrong altogether. The point is that the term "Teda" has two meanings - the smaller one (They live in the north of Chad, but not on the border, instead immediately to the north of the Daza. And it were only this small group who traditionally called themselves "Teda".) And there is a larger (only used in science) meaning of "Teda", that also includes another, much larger group from Libya who call themselves "Tibbu" (after whom scientists named the whole grouping), and whose dialect is rather close (separated just 400 years ago) to the small Teda. Here is a good picture, but in Russian.  --Yomal Sidoroff-Biarmskii (talk) 20:29, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The genetics section has been fixed.  Previously, it had incorrect numbers for the haplogroups and had an unsourced and nonsensical section about the Toubou being the "the Qaraan" and related to the LBK.  I removed the nonsense and fixed the numbers from the cited article.  It should be noted that the numbers for Y-chromosomes are found in the supplemental data https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0002929716304487-mmc1.pdf  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.191.1.209 (talk) 00:07, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genetics 

message: There's some truly awful English in this article. Many of the sentences appear to be the result of clumsy edits that leave parts of two sentences glued together, or half-sentences with no main verb. The task of fixing this is daunting, and I prefer to concentrate on subjects I know something about; so I'm not going to wade in.
