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."
