Summary

Chapter 6 is a short outlook on feasible and necessary follow-up comparative research projects towards solid reconstructions of the other branches of Chadic besides Central Chadic, not least in order to arrive at a robust reconstruction of Proto-Chadic as a whole. Further, the list of petrified morphological markers provides a starting point for reconstructing their original functions based on a comparative analysis of their synchronic functions in the modern Chadic languages. We would also want a fairly complete collection of isogloss maps for words and linguistic features for Central Chadic and later also for the other branches of the Chadic language family.
