Date Created: 2002.
Map Description:
This map displays cities, kingdoms and peoples in southern Africa circa 1400. The territories of many of the smaller groups are uncertain, and hence have not been outlined. These, along with several of the kingdoms pictured, continued expanding their borders and developing the southern half of Africa as Europeans began their explorations of the continent (Ehret). Peoples are indicated by white lettering on the map, states by polygons.

The Countries of Dadog History (Ehret)
The Countries of Dadog History
Map Creator:
Christopher Ehret
Source: Southern Nilotic History. 1971. Northwestern University Press. p. 57.
Date Created: 1971
Map Description:
In his book Southern Nilotic History, Christopher Ehret discusses a number of possible settlements and linguistic interactions of the Dadog of the Masai. He uses loanword evidence to support his hypothesis that they expanded mainly southward, eventually living as far south as central Masailand. They influenced many peoples that they encountered; the linguistic affects seen in Sonjo are particularly strong, and Ehret suggests that this may indicate that the Sonjo live in much the same way and location today as they did in the past.
