Hi sir I have just seen you buy I think you're really smart with a big knowledge. However I think there is perhaps a connection between Asia and Europe and the land of both areas was Greece. In fact the people called Aryan People was more an Aryan philosophy than a people.

@rosellavitali2991

4 жыл бұрын

However to be Aryan isn't to belong Aryan People but it's a personal idea which probably some people (I think proto Italic-Hellenic-Germanic and some Asian people like Hindi but I think also Mongolian and why not Chinese) took and so they have might thought they were the Aryans, so the more warrior people than the local and Pacific civilization

@rosellavitali2991

However I know that a typical Asian Nepali name is Raj. It might be the union of Ra+jens so an Aryan name? In fact the meaning of Arya is lord the same of Raj or Maraja. There's the possibility of the existence of a root called Ar which is probably the root for something who's noble. We may considere arheté, àristos, archè (honor- the best and first/power in ancient Greek). You can consider their initial theme: Ra. But it isn't only

@rosellavitali2991

4 жыл бұрын

But also Raja might be ra+people (consider Gens in latin, but also relative). And I've seen that the initial words of man in greek is anthropos (αν=an+ θρώπος or also αν+ηρ=er). You have to considere the theme an. Like in English we've got man (we've got an at the end) or even Han in Chinese (the same theme in an). It's incredible that human after many time of years is understanding once time we were nearer and even relative, a connection between Europe and Asia is strange but not about language, religion and culture

@rosellavitali2991

But finally if we applicare the rhotacis among r/s ( like Ausosa who became Aurora ), you can see that Arya became Asia and also aryan/asian. But also orior oreris (to born in Latin) which is very near to öst (in fact it's mean east in Germanic like Österreich so Austria). The remote area was Asia??

So basically, it's one big game of Telephone.

The original game of "Telephone", as different peoples were spread out across large distances and separated by geographical features: mountains, rivers, seas, etc., and there was no technology: telegraph, telephones, radio, tv, satellite, internet, etc. Languages and language families arose as a result of various groups of people being islolated and speaking their languages throughout several millennia.

@Marius Spinu I can see what your trying to say but FENG does not stand for wind, instead it is the mountain root and bug root combined, mountain (feng) for sound, and the bug root to show meaning. And what the heck is LIANTZY that is NOT a sound in Chinese maybe you mean Lan Zi (fence) or Lian qi (string together). Also skin in Chinese is not Plele or Plge, whichever one you were refering to. Skin in Chinese is actually Pi. Im also not sure what you mean by Chinese. When I say Chinese I mean Mandarin, but perhaps you may be referring to a dialect of Chinese. Still, they are only dialects of an ancient language. Also the problem with using mandarin to compare to other ancient languages is that Mandarin is a semi-invented language. Sure, it's based of the Beijing dialect but there are still lots of tweaks to make it easier for everyone to speak.

@Marius Spinu Ok, since I can assume that you aren't Chinese because of your name, and the fact that you use google translate (the most reliable translation tool ever that totally works for all language systems and totally gets every single translation right), I can't blame you for falling into this trap. You probably know that Chinese writing is logographic, which means that each word is represented by a different combination of strokes (usually). You also might know that Chinese is tonal (depending on the way you say a word it can mean different things and usually written different ways). Because of this, in written Chinese pinyin (a way of writing Chinese using the latin alphabet) there are a TON of homonyms and homographs. An example is that the word you used, tu(dirt), which is third tone. Keeping it third tone without context, spoken or using pinyin, it could also mean throwup or thorium. Changing the tone could make it mean picture/graph, spit (verb) or color/fill in, among others. So, just because wind and the feng sound in bee sound have the same sound doesn't mean they are the same thing, otherwise, Chinese would be the easiest and simplest but also must confusing language ever. I don't completely disagree with you though. Yes, the fact that the latin word for earth is Tera and the Chinese word for dirt is Tu is obviously connected, but Tu in Chinese, doesn't actually mean THE Earth, like Terra does, it means dirt and other dirty things. The word for Earth is Shi(jie). Then at the end you go off into an irrelevant tangent about latin and English, so I can't comment on that. The facts that Chinese is logographic, tonal, and has lots of homograms/graphs is probably the reason Chinese hasn't switched or possibly might switch to the Latin alphabet, aside from Chinese nationalism. Another thing about Chinese is that there are many old words that are only used as roots now, such as dog (gou) used to be quan. I also would've added Chinese characters but I'm really too lazy to do that. Also I have been referring the written simplified Chinese throughout this whole comment but it really doesn't matter. ok bai

When I was a kid, I heard the word "Buddha" for the first time and found it funny because I thought it means someone who is awaken from the sleep and is angry, because it reminded me of the Russian word budit' "to wake someone up". How surprizing it was to me to learn in the adult age that it actually means "the awaken one" in Sanskrit and that it's actually related to the russian verb "budit".

Tocharian A _ko_ (=cow) - like Danish _ko_, Armenian _kov_, Latvian _govs_, etc… Tocharian B _mälk_ (=to milk) - like German _melk_ (-en), Latin _mulg_ (-ere), ancient Greek _amelg_ (-ein), etc… Tocharian B _puwar_ (=fire) - like Hittite _pahhuwar_ /_ pahhur_, Umbrian _pir_, ancient Greek _pyr_, English _fire_ etc… Tocharian _okso_ (=ox) - like Danish _okse_, Sanskrit _ukṣán_, etc... .

However, in modern Chinese, quite a few loanwords from Mongolian, Manchurian, and Buddhist texts remain. If you ask people here with what language Chinese share common ancestors, they will almost all absolutely tell you Japanese, which, despite their superficial resemblance in writing, is not the case.

Hello Langfocus, my name is Em and I am from Thailand. Our language doesn't belong in the Indo-European family but has a lot of loan words especially Sanskrit. While I'am watching this video, I had noticed one Sanskrit word that we also use in our language and that word is bhara, which means "responsibility" in our language. Thank you so much for your videos, I have learnt a lot from them.

People didn't write, but they had to remember the most sophisticated terms about, for example, spirituality, e.g. wSTYD 'shame, disgrace' has the same root in Polish like STUDiti [studzić] 'to cool' {you could translate both as 'inside the cold' or MIERZiti [mierzić] 'to disgust, to sicken' is the same word like MROZiti [mrozić] 'to freeze, to chill'. BRAti [brać, bierzemy 'we take'] 'to take' is cognate to BRIEMIĘ [brzemię] 'weight'. 'Weight' is also 'ciężar'. So: brzemienna = w ciąży 'pregnant'. If we change b into v [in Old Polish they used also wrzemię; we write 'w' as 'v'], we have w-rzemien 'inside strap'. Brzemię means also load, cargo, and it means wiązka 'bundle' (of sticks), it's from wiązać 'to tie, to bind'. OBWIĄZAĆ 'to tie around' = OBOWIĄZEK 'duty, responsibility' English: to give BIRth, to BEAR On Wiktionary they wrote that Sanskrit cognate to wązki 'narrow' is अंहु (amhu) 'narrow' You can tell that bringing water, food or fuel WAS a responsibility, the same as childbirth :)

Just to give you some examples: Yes em (Armenian) - I am (English) - Ja sam (south Slavic) Du es (Arm) - tu es (French) - Du (German) Lsel (Arm) - listen (Eng) Asel (Arm) - say (Eng) Tun ("home" in Arm) - town ("place of dwelling" Eng) Armunk (Arm) - arm (Eng) Shat ("many" Arm) - satem (Avest) - cent (Lat) - sto (Slav) Tumb (Arm) - tomb (Eng) Dur (Arm) - door (eng) Duxt (old Arm) - daughter (Eng) Mayr (Arm) - Mutter (Germ) - mother (Eng) Katu (Arm) - cat (Eng) - chat (Fr) ... I can go on and on and on... Hundreds, most likely thousands of common roots! One think I regret: The absolute majority of Indo-Europeans are totally ignorant about their linguistic and cultural connections, in effect, their blood ancestry and kinship! The Indo-Europeans are perhaps the most ignorant ones among all the linguistic families. And this is very sad!

As for the cognates, thank you for sharing all those! It's awesome to see how much we all have in common if we look hard enough.

As an Iranian growing up with the Persian language I always found it curious to recognise similar words in the English language, like Father = Pedar, Mother = Madar, Brother = Baradar, Daughter = Dokhtar and so on. Also the Persian grammar is far more similar to European languages than to Arabic. So even before I knew about the proto language, I felt the connection with the other two languages that I fluently learned, English and German. It's a very interesting topic.

He mentions Arabic because Arabic speakers live so close to Persia - they even have a common religion so it would seem probable that Persians and say Iraqis or Syrians might speak a related language - kind of how French, Italian, Spanish are related languages and the countries where they are spoken are right next to one another. The same thing that the Persian speaker noticed happened when scholars from Western Europe ( I think they were British ) went to India to study their religion and language ( Sanskrit ). They were quite struck and surprised how many basic kinship words seemed to be similar to English - something they never expected. This triggered a different approach to studying languages in Europe and other parts of the world. They gradually realized that most of the languages in Europe had common forgotten languages many thousands of years earlier. For some reason, Lithuanian is one of the most conservative and least changes IE language and is believed to be the closest modern language to proto-Indo-European.

I speak Spanish (as my native language), study English (since I was 4), Dutch, I also studied a little of French and Portuguese, and now I can see that many words in each language has a little similitude. For example, "Vragen" (In Dutch), and "Preguntar" (to ask) in Spanish, or "Hunderd" and "-cientos". (Hundred). Also "Schrijven" and "Escribir" (to write), although Spanish is a romance language and Dutch a Germanic language. Is fun to think that all these languages are a kind of cousins or brothers or something like that

The class is called 'Stories of South Asia' and we are reading the following texts: The Ramayana (which we have completed), the Pancatantra (which we are reading now), the Hitopadesa, the Raghuvanca, and the Kathasaritsagara. We have been using a history text called 'History of India' as context prior to each unit to base the texts in the settings they came from, like for example that the Pancatantra comes from a time of division in South Asia, while the Hitopodesa comes from a more united time. I'd love to hear what you think of those texts we studying! *Also I can't put diacritic marks with my keyboard* :( Also, I've studied in brief foundational texts like the Vedas and Upanishads but most of my higher level coursework has been in Buddhist Philosophy and Ethics so it has been interesting to study Hinduism in more detail.

Brilliant.. Of these the one that I have read is Ramayana and some Panchatantra tales..I've not read any of the other texts; so I don't know!!..So you have more knowledge than me!!.. But I can say that Ramayana has many versions written and adapted by many people...Valmiki's Ramayana is considered the most popular because of obvious reasons..The variations of in those multiple Ramayanas could be something that you may want to research..

Are you from the UK or US? Have you studied Sanskrit too? I couldn't study Sanskrit at school because Hindi was a compulsory subject for me, and I had to take Hindi as my third language after English and my mother tongue Malayalam..But I'm going to learn Sanskrit, hopefully in near future..

I have to say that we Indians have got the priorities wrong when it comes to Sanskrit..Even though Sanskrit is a popular subject in school, it's not compulsory... Hindi and English are compulsory... I want Sanskrit to be made compulsory and Hindi be made an optional language...Kids have to pick up three languages..Along with English and Hindi many kids choose to study their mother tongue..For such students, there is no room for Sanskrit..Only for kids with Hindi as their mother tongue, choosing Sanskrit as their third language is easy..

I truly enjoyed this video and the way historical migration spread a common language which unites people. I'm from India and I've always been fascinated by history and particularly how languages spread and developed. I learnt Sanskrit in school as a third language (after English and Hindi) and my mother tongue is Malayalam (the language of the South Indian state of Kerala) which is a mix of the Indo-European Sanskrit and the Dravidian Tamil, one of the most ancient languages in India.

This isn't the first video/podcast I've been on regarding PIE so I was somewhat already familiar with the relationships but it still fascinates me. There are certain words that are clearly related like the various words for the Deity even if certain modern languages no longer use it as the primary word. PIE used to be called the Japhetic language group, similar to the Semitic for the same reason.

I speak Lithuanian, German, English, Russian. Lately, I have been reading quite a lot in English and I have noticed that in the archaic Baltic-Lithuanian language a number of words are very similar to probably the old British words. Here they are: bairn - bernas, bee - bitė, bellow - bliauti, berate - barti, blank - blankus, bleat - bliauti, bulb - bulvė, bumble - bumbėti, but - bet, clack - klegėt, close - glaustas, cloth - kloti, crate - kraitelė, croak - krenkšti, cry - kriokt, crush - krušt, do - daryt, draw - traukti, dripp - dribti, thunder - dundėti, eat - ėsti, fall - pulti, fill - pilt, get -gaut, gill - giluma, grind - grūsti, grip, grab - griebt, grope - grabalioti, groove - griovelis, gurgle - gurguliuoti, gully - gili dauba, griovelis, help - gelbėti, hole -ola, you - jūs, joke - juoktis, lean - liesas, let - leist, lip - lūpa, lull - liūliuoti, mind - manyti, moor - maurai, mother - moteris, motina, murmur - murmėti, night - naktis, or - ar, nose - nosis, per - per, persecute -persekioti, pestle - piesta, ride - raitas, ruck - raukti, roan - rainas (širmas), roop - rypauti, scourge -skriaust, scuttle - skuosti, seek - siekt, sew - siūti, sieve - sietas, sit - sėst, slide, slid - slidu, slink - slinkt, slog - slogus, slosh - šliukšt, slough - slogus, smug - smagu, speed - spėti, spew -spjaudalai, vėmalai, spit - spjaut, sway -svaigt, swivel -svyruoti, tack - takas, think - dingoti, throw - trenkt, thwart - tverti, utter - uturuoti, vie, vying - vajus, vomit - vemt, withe - vysti, wilt -vysti, werth - vertė, word - vardas, writhe - raitytis, wrath - rūstis ..... and many of others.

As an Albanian speaking some input here (although a bit late as I just discovered this great channel and Paul is fantastic). Some Albanian words in current modern Albanian that still are quite near the PIE variation are: Mbaj (to bear, Bhar); Dru (Tree, Dreu). Also Albanian still retains lots of cases - 5 cases in Standard Albanian and 7 in spoken Albanian (namely Vocative and Locative especially in the northern dialect of Gheg).

You are very correct, Pali/Sanskrit came to Thailand through Buddhism, and retained in local languages. It is obvious all humans spoke one language at one point in time, and diverged as we left Africa and settled all around the world. First emigration out of Africa was the South Indian Dravidian languages, and the native languages of South East Asians including Koreans, Australian natives, and Polynasians, for exampl Korean and Tamil share more than 500 identical words that I was amazed a a Koreal scholar was explaining. The second wave of emigration happened later and evolved as Proto-Indo-European I believe, because Dravidian and Indo European clearly have distinct origins, vocabulary, and idioms.

British may have came from central asia but we're natives and we built indus valley civilisation. We're not central asians. All of this "theory" is islamomarxist propaganda funded by christian missionaries and part of broader roman-british-arabic plot to divide india so that it can not grow because india is a distinct civilisation. Arabic mullahs will never succeed in this propaganda. See the condition of Pakistanis. We're distantly related with iranians/persians but its sad to see persians falling into this propaganda. Persia/iran was once greatest centre of civilisation even better than rome and europe, but arabs destroyed and appropriated their culture as "islamic golden age". Now, iran has joined this arabic propaganda against india.
