UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE (Contacts) Edo Nyland (2001) has proposed the existence of a Universal
Language in a book Linguistic
Archaeology: An Introduction. Trafford Publ. 541 p. In this book
Nyland revealed the recovery of stone-age and medieval history by analysis of
language. In the process of gathering
data he became convinced that a universal language had existed in the
Neolithic and that virtually all advanced languages of today derived directly
from this early language. This has
led to the development of several hypotheses and a theory of the origin of
languages (see Theory). Analyzing
the place names of the Odyssey, Nyland made the interesting discovery that names
and words may be interpreted as a shorthand, having been agglutinated from
core words of the Basque
language. He identified a subset of the Basque language, the core words of
which have come through since 3,000 B.C. in almost unchanged form, as the nearest
equivalent of the Neolithic universal language that has been spoken in Europe
and the Near East before speech became confused in Babylon. Applying his
new decoding method to names and words from many other language families, he
arrived at the startling conclusion that words of ancient languages like
Sanskrit and Sumerian as well as of modern European languages like English,
Spanish or German, can be decoded by the same method into Basque sentences
revealing hidden meaning. This discovery supports the hypothesis of
monogenesis of languages, according to Genesis 11.1: "...now the whole earth had one language..."
As ancient
words and names have come with meanings attached to them which cannot be
substantiated by the hidden meaning decoded from them, a great deal of
falsified or censored history can be recovered, revealing that many languages
have been invented from the universal language, according to Genesis 11.7: "...come, let us go down and there confuse their
language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
