A Kulu Vocabulary and Fragments of Kulu Grammatical Structures The Kulu language is one of the six Northern Plateau Group languages of Platoid, which belongs to the Benue-Congo branch of Niger-Congo family. It is spoken in Kaduna State of Nigeria by about 6,000 people. The name of this language is reported, probably for the first time, in Westermann and Bryan (1952 pp.104-5) as one of the Class Languages of Nigeria. Greenberg placed it in Plateau 2 of his Benue-Congo subfamily. The Broken Plural and Semitic Sub-classification The question of Semitic sub-classification, particularly the question of the place of Arabic within Semitic, has become controversial since Hetzron (1974, 1975, 1976) argued, on the basis of isoglosses in the verbal morphology, that Arabic should be classed with Northwest Semitic in a Central Semitic sub-branch. Analogy in Semitic Non-concatenative Morphology Analogy has always been something of an embarrassment for linguistic theory. In the Neogrammarian model analogic change had to be admitted in order to account for the most glaring exceptions to the hypothesis of regular sound change (and hence in order to maintain the hypothesis at all).
