Evolution of Languages
The emergence of languages from
the dawn of time

The
evolution of languages has been a natural progression over the ages. What is
interesting has been the lack of information from the earliest period when
humans evolved from the upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic ages and began to
speak not in gestures or grunts but to actually use the first speech. In
academia it has not been popular to delve back to the earliest origins of speech
as they betray a noble hope they began in the Aegean or in lofty areas of
anticipation, rather it appears language emanated out of central Africa from
recent postulations and migrated north and east via Sumeria and into archaic
Egypt and beyond. New evidence has shown Ogam language that had graduated
into Iberia and northwards, has been found on ancient monuments (Also Dolmens
and petroglyphs in North America.) This book traces not only the inception of
language but other languages as they developed from the mists of time into
the archaic area. This book is dedicated to the late Edo Nyland and his work
and his enthusiasm.
