    The word "Iran" derives from the Avestan word "Ayriana" literally meaning "The Land of Aryans". Many of Persian kings like Darius the great and his son Xerxes have called themselves "Aryan" in their inscriptions as they wanted to refer to their ethnical origins.

    Proposing the name Japhetic for Indo-European family and claiming the Swastika was a symbol of some "ancient Aryans" is dumb as hell cause cause both of those belong to a far wider demographic. Almost all non-Afroasiatic Eurasians are Japhetites, and the swastika is found in all cultures in the world and is especially meaningful to Mahayana Buddhism and the nations of the Sinosphere.

    technically, the japanese writing system is not a syllabary. The japanese mora (what you showed as syllables) aren't 1:1 to western syllables. You can have a single N as an entire mora. That would never be accepted as an entire syllable in English, for example. Diphtongs are another great example of how English syllables differ from Japanese mora. I think it's easier understood as a rythmic language, since every mora is supposed to be of the same length when spoken.

    I’m interested in making a philosophical language that injects some type of perspective into it. Like what if someone spoke a language where adjectives and noun endings had to agree with social class instead of gender? Would that person become more aware of class differences, or would they just subconsciously skip over it as just a grammar rule?

    Aryan picnic theory 😂 There is no archeological proof for aryan invasion theory . Aryan means a civilized man , who well versed with Vedas, before the birth of islam and Christianity almost all word, especially middle esat and persia under sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) who were following vedic culture. Who follows the vedic culture they are the Aryans 🕉️🚩

    ​@@BinodiniMahapatra-pz7vvscientific studies in fact do not prove aryan invasion theory, it only proves there's a genetic connection between Indians and europeans but it doesn't prove where did this genetic connection orignate from or from where it moved wether from Europe to India or from India to Europe. Out of India theory is more probabl because a gene origin is determined by where it has the highest density or variation which both of them are found in India.

    NAZIS when they are not outright murderous like Hitler's ww2 era nazis, are funny people. For instance, Greek neo-nazis call themselves AREIOI, pretending that the word derives from the name of the ancient Greek god of war ARES, whom the Romans adopted as Mars.

    1:35 TOTALLY WRONG thats what happens when you are taught wrong Actually No european came to India or conquer India Before them there were already Aryans in India . Source : Ancient Indian vedas used the word Aryavart that are approximately 6000 to 7000 Years old ... Actually British flourish Aryan invasion theory to show that we were poor or bla bla bla .. So please its my request Do not believe in every thing .....( Also there is a proof that Aryan invasion theory was wrong that is SINAULI CHARIOT Excavated from SINAULI INDIA ....
