Introduction
Starting during
the 18th century, attempts have been made to classify the world's languages
into one comprehensive genetic system of families. Nyland (2001) pointed out that this effort
has been very frustrating for many linguists because organizing languages
into such a system has been like playing a game of musical chairs. Major
languages were shifted from one language family to another, whole families
were bundled into super families on very shaky assumptions, proto languages
were concocted, others were split off and given their own family tree. Faulty
reasoning and dreaming resulted in some of these assumptions to be accepted
as gospel and given credibility by contrived systems of phonological
correspondence, created by an obsessive group of linguists known as the Neo-Grammarians.
The best-known example of this is the theory of the Indo-European Family
of languages that is based on the crippled reasoning that if the
observed relationship between the languages is not accidental, it must be
genetic. Most of the Neo-Grammarians' inventions have long ago been put into
the dustbin, but what remains of them is taken as evidence that modern
linguistics in some important sense is still to be considered as a science.
It now appears that modern linguistics is solidly founded on religion and not
on academic substance. In a desperate
attempt to make some sense out of the profusion of languages, linguists have
been searching for the "Mother Tongue", also called "Proto-World".
This initiative is now considered a most controversial contrivance in
linguistic circles. Many linguists shy away from attempting to re-construct
the ancestral language, calling such attempts speculative and sensational.
The much quoted Dr. Vitaly Shevoroshkin (U. of Michigan) is a great supporter
of the "Mother Tongue" theory and he assumes that "most words
are stable and change very little, ....... words such as body parts have been
with us from the beginning". This assumption could have been correct
except for one small problem; during the past 4,000 years some of the major
religions have put linguists to work, subjecting languages they wanted to be
rid of to acrostic manipulation and mutilation. Their efforts were aimed at
totally burying the original language of the world's first civilization, in
many cases with the use of a strictly adhered to formula which now allows us
to reconstruct the origin of the concocted words. Hundreds, if not thousands,
of these fabricated words are shown in Edo Nyland’s web pages (see Pages). Their efforts have
resulted in a very large number of invented
languages, which on first sight have no relationship to the original
language, but upon detailed examination can be shown to have originated from
the ancient Saharan language, which we now
know post-dated a language being spoken in West
Africa. Professor Catherine Acholonu has
determined this to be the original Ogam
from which all other languages are derived.
If it hadn't been for the drastic and intensive efforts of the ancient
grammarians, a few genetic trees of languages would likely have done the job.
Through the
years, there have been a few courageous doubters among the linguists such as
M. E. Landsberg (Columbia Univ. S.C.) who wrote: "Indeed, courses in
historical linguistics at Universities all over the world, in spite of much
perplexing evidence to the contrary, mostly still persist in adhering to
strict Indo-European theories". Those who did not follow the Indo-European
gospel and sounded the alarm bell risked their immaculate academic
reputations by indulging in what was called "Trans Linguistic Investigations," resulting in being censored by the
dogma-ridden majority that still rules the discipline. Students are forbidden
to study the possible academic fraud behind the Indo-European theory and
those who did look into it were stonewalled, isolated and ridiculed. Doubting
the Indo-European theory became "taboo" and resulted in a quick
forced exit from the profession. One professor to whom Nyland explained his
findings commented: "You are excavating recesses into which an academic
with the instincts of a gentleman, would never venture". Is it
surprising that this subject of Invented Linguistics
is so much unexplored? SAHARAN or WEST AFRICAN
LANGUAGE = Ogam
The height of
the Ice Age came about 16,000 bce. and was followed by rapid deglaciation
which created enormous changes in air-circulation over large parts of the world.
Hardest hit was North Africa where a dense population, spread over many
independent tribes, had developed since about 38,000 bce The effect of this
global weather change caused serious desertification that started to be felt
around 10,000 bce. (See Climate). The tribes
occupying the Central Sahara had to adapt to ever increasing drought
conditions. It is now obvious that the Sahara had been the location of the
first true civilization on earth. It had a highly developed religion based on
holy respect for the wondrous reproductive and nursing capabilities of the
human female, a fully evolved language, a democratically organized and
disciplined system of tribal groups, a strong oral tradition and a number of
sciences such as astronomy, mathematics, architecture, agriculture,
irrigation technology, leather tanning, boat building, sailing and star
navigation. For thousands of years the tribes living along the shores, later
called the "Sea Peoples", had been sailing and fishing on the
oceans. Surplus population had been sent to colonize the lands of Europe that
had been vacated by the glaciers. However, the forced exodus, which started
after 6,000 bce.., meant that all tribes had to move away from the most
affected areas in the center. These were being ferried by the "Sea
Peoples" to available lands that had previously been explored by them
around the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. They of course brought their
religion, language and oral traditions along with them. The language was
astonishingly complex and all encompassing for such an early Stone Aged
people. In fact, it seems highly unlikely that this amazing West African
language was formed naturally from the basic onomatopoeic language, which is
embedded in it. Like the complex astronomical and mathematical knowledge of
these people, their language was so well-organized and logical that it must
have been the product of highly qualified linguists, even at that very early
date. For details about this language invention, see "Translating Ogam". Therefore,
Nyland has called the Saharan (= West African) language the first highly
evolved and invented language on earth. LEVELS OF LANGUAGES DEVELOPED FIRST LEVEL
LANGUAGE DEVELOPED
There is no way
to tell when the West African language was brought up to this high level of
linguistic proficiency, but it may well have been done before 10,000 bce. The
most likely place where this could have been done was in the religious center
of the Goddess in the Ahoggar
Mountain massif in southeastern Algiers. By that time, the demand
for leather sails had outstripped the available supply in the Sahara and a
large hunting camp had been established on the migration route of a huge
reindeer herd in Arctic Norway, at a place now called Mount Komsa.
Petroglyphs, cut into the rock at Mount Komsa, tell an interesting story because they are
very much like the drawings on stone at the 7,000-foot level in the Ahoggar
Mountains as well as being similar to some of the art in the caves of the
Pyrenees. The huge exodus
from the Sahara started in earnest about 7,000 bce., reaching a peak between
5- and 6,000 bce. This extremely mobile civilization was familiar with the
entire world. Refugees went to many countries, all maintaining their Goddess
religion, their strong oral traditions and their language. While still in the
Sahara these traditions had been centrally reinforced from the Ahoggar, now
that the population was mostly shifted to Europe and the Near East, the
religious center was moved to Malta,
which was accessible to all tribes of the Atlantic coast, the Mediterranean
and the Black Sea. The megalithic remnants of their Neolithic cathedrals
attract thousands of tourists today to Malta. When the new religion of the
male gods arrived, several new names were given to the same West African
language. They are still spoken in outlying areas such as: Elamite
(Mesopotamia), Canaanite
(Canaan), Minoan (Crete), Hatti (Anatolia), Ligurian (Italy), Pictish (Scotland), Cruithin (Ireland), Cythian (Black
Sea), Basque (Pyrenees), Ainu (Japan), Dravidian
(India), Olmec
(Central America), Polynesian (Oceania).
All of these languages changed and evolved but those that are still spoken,
such as Ainu and Dravidian, can easily be recognized as belonging to the
genetic group of West African languages. Of all these isolated languages, it
appears that the Basque language is still the closest, by far, to the
original language. SECOND LEVEL LANGUAGES DEVELOPED
Because of the
religious work, probably in the cult town of Nerik, in the Hittite Province of Kizzuwadna, a new male-dominated
religion was created. It
purposely inverted all aspects of the Goddess religion and reduced the
stature of the Goddess to spouse of the new God king, a forerunner of the
later Judaic religion (See Raphael Patai: The Hebrew Goddess). The West African language was
so dominant within the Goddess religion, its tribal organization and in its
worldwide coverage that around 2,000 bce. the decision was made to destroy
it, the oral tradition and its tribal system by any means possible. This
order was repeated much later in Genesis 11:7 "Let us confuse their
language so they may no longer understand each other's speech". They
began with creating new languages for the Hittite empire: Lycian,
Luwian, Palaic, Lydian and
Hittite, creating each with its own script. THIRD LEVEL LANGUAGES DEVELOPED
Over many
centuries, the religious center in Kizzuwadna sent out groups of highly
educated missionaries to various parts of the world with orders to introduce
male domination, a new religion, create a new language and an original
script. This effort resulted in: Sanskrit (India),
Ancient Egyptian (Egypt), Ge'ez
(Ethiopia), Greek
(Greece), Etruscan (Tuscani), Iberian (Spain), Hebrew (Israel), Ugaritic (Syria), Tocharian (China), Japanese (Japan),
Toltec (Central America), and
possibly a Yiddish/Gothic related
language in Russia. Could these have been the Twelve Tribes of Israel? FOURTH LEVEL LANGUAGES DEVELOPED
Several of these
languages spawned their own when: Hebrew scholars created the Semitic
languages e.g. Arabic, Phoenician, Syriac, Aramaic.
Sanskrit scholars created a host of Northern Indian languages: Maldivian, Sinhalese,
Vedda, Kalasha, Kashmiri,
Nepali, Bengali etc.
FIFTH
LEVEL LANGUAGES
DEVELOPED
The Benedictine
monks, working from scriptoria on the east coast of England, developed the
basic structure of the Germanic group of languages such as: English,
German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish etc.
Benedictine monks working from the Pannonhalma Scriptorium in Hungary created Hungarian,
which special invention technique was taken north to create Estonian,
Finnish and Lappish.
All these
languages have the West African/Basque language as their core. The above is
very preliminary and needs more work. It appears that the Sino-Tibetan, Amerind, Austric, Australian and Khoisian language groups were not involved in this effort to distort and
make over. Nyland has proposed no
changes in these. |
