[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] Hikuptah [QUOTE] Mr Winters i am a linguist as well and i cant help but to see the similarities with the Siniatic script as well as the Ethiopic/Sabean with the Meroitic i was wondering since u have more experience with merotic than i do but there characters seem similar. In all of those Tablets is see the Hebrew Shin which is a W as well as the S and the N in Ethiopic i remember we were talking about the Meroitic and u mention that it was similar to the Dravidian Languages. Mr. Winters one more thing i heard that Latin Greek German & English come from sanskrit is this true. [/QUOTE]First of all Latin , Greek and German did not come from Sanskrit. Sanskrit is a lingua franca, It was used in Northern India to provide a means of communication between the diverse people who lived in the region. The Sanskrit -Indo-European language connection comes from the fact that when Sanskrit was invented there were Greek speakers already present in India. This is proven by Panini, author of one of the earliest Sanskrit grammar mention of these people. As a result, the relationship between Sanskrit and Greek is probably the result of Greeks and Indians living in a former state of bilingualism resulting from Alexander the Great's conquest of South Asia. You are right about the similarities between Siniatic script, Ethiopic and the other writing systems. [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bay/7051/lit1.gif[/IMG] In the graphic above you can clearly see how all of the signs in this illustration from throughout Africa and Asia are related. [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bay/7051/lit3.gif[/IMG] In many cases, these signs have the same sound. The oldest examples of these signs come from the Sahara . The authors of these writing systems the Dravidians, Elamites, Sumerians , Egyptians, Manding, Xia spoke similar and related languages. I call these people Proto-Saharans. Below is an article that discusses the Proto-Saharans [URL=http://geocities.com/olmec982000/Fertile1.pdf]Fertile African Crescent[/URL] [URL=http://geocities.com/olmec982000/proto2.htm]Proto-Saharans[/URL] In addition, the Proto-Saharans shared a common religion. [URL=http://geocities.com/olmec982000/rel2.htm]Proto-Saharan Religion[/URL] This results from the fact that the history of African writing is much more complicated than the traditional view that writing began in Africa with Egyptian hieroglyphics. I provide a detailed discussion of this tradition of African literacy at the following website: [URL=http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bay/7051/anwrite.htm]Middle African Writing System[/URL] Read this paper and then maybe we can discuss this matter further. .
