This is totally stupid. 14.000 years ago there was an Ice-age. No people were living in Scandinavia. The blue eye-people came from further south or east. 8000 years ago the land between scandinavia/Brittain/Netherland etc. Was overflown with water (Doggerland). This video is a ly.
Gli albanesi indoeuropei!!!???Ma che "bestialita'!"dite!!!Gli albanesi sono l'unico popolo,insieme ai baschi,a non esserlo!!!Sono il "retaggio"delle popolazioni preesistenti in Europa prima dell'arrivo degli Indoeuropei,circa verso il 3.000 A.Cps:Che poi le popolazioni preesistenti alla "invasione"fossero di ascendenza NEANDERTHALIANA,e'un dato di fatto!!!PPS:abbastanza "verificabile"ai nostri giorni;basta sentirli parlare e/o osservarli...E' "evidentissima"la somiglianza fisiognomica&"fonetica" con gli antichi abitatori d'Europa,i cacciatori/raccoglitori,mentre gli indoeuropei si caratterizzavano perche'erano allevatori ed hanno introdotto il cavallo x uso bellico
You forgot the Brahui language of Pakistan, a close relative of Elamite. It is the missing link between Elamite of the middle east and the Dravidian languages of Southern India. Brahui has features and vocabulary of both Elamite and Dravidian and though classified as "Dravidian", it isn't Dravidian proper, but in fact proto-Dravidian i.e Elamo-Dravidian. Brahui which can be reverse constructed to Beluhi and then Meluhha exists in close proximity to the eastern most regions where Haltami or Elamite would've been spoken. Both are of proto-Zagorsian origin.
Being able to trace our roots back to the time, where were no distinct nationalities is like hearing the melody of the Universe after the Big Bang. The similarity is stunning.
The Semitic culture greatly destroyed our ancient Indo-European culture. The Semitic Jewish branch infiltrated becoming Roman Christianity which destroyed Latin, Celtic, Germanic and many other beliefs. Semitic Arab culture destroyed the ancient Aryan gods from eastern Anatolia to China. Our vertitable culture has been dead for centuries; we only have vague memories of it. I am Zaza Alevi half of the Zaza have completely adopted the Semitic Arab culture by becoming Sunni Muslim, the other half to which I belong refused to submit and although she accepted the one God she rejected the rest because contrary to his character
Indo European is a very eurocentric name. Its embarassing for an asian to be referred to as indo european cos it shows that scholars discredit our origin and signficance. Its a hijacking of the name, like Aryan was
I don't really think IE it's a "eurocentric" name. It tells perfectly its distribution - from India to Europe, together with the lands that are in between. Otherwise, what other name would be more suitable? Anyway, Indo-European is a much more better and encompassing termin than the idiotic "Indo-Germanic" or "Aryan" as it used to be called in the past.
Let's combine our borders to become one turkic union guys. We will understand each other without any problems, I guess in several months, we won't have any problems in speech/listening. This would create great business opportunities and would contribute to all our economies.
На самом деле осетины на Кавказе отличаются от других народов ! Более миролюбивы ,оброзованны ,культурны и будто бы и не было 400-500 лет изоляции ,в тяжелых суровых горах Кавказа !
I am from Uzbekistan and I think that our pronunciation , a kind of , adopted more to persian pronunciation 'cause we have a lot of words from the persian language. For instance we say "odam" just like persian even though we are a turkic country while most of other turkic countries say "adam"
1 common thing in Altaic language family is the throat singing i believe? But then the north american native like Eskimo or the Inuit also have throat singing and they look straight out of mongol descendant. For Japanese and Korean there's no throat singing in tradition at all but it's still a debate wether Japonic and Koreanic are part of this Altaic family or they completely separate family.
Compared to the Finns, some of the ancestors of the Hungarians had a much longer association and interaction with the Turks. While some Turkish words in Hungarian are newer (Ottoman period), some words are proto-Turkish (for example: english:ox.. more than 3000 years old proto-Turkish:ökür, hungarian: ökör, Turkish:öküz) or much older proto-Turkish. For Finns, some main Turkish words may have been completely forgotten or changed over the thousands of years that have passed. By the way, there are more than 160 main Turkish words in Sumerian, which is also an agglutinative language. Accordingly, since the Turkish language has existed for more than 5000 years and has been preserved to this day and has even influenced the ancient Sumerian language, it is likely that other agglutinative languages may have transformed into an agglutinative language from a completely different language as a result of the same interaction.
I remember watching a documentary about the witches where the narrator said that the origin of the word "witch" is unknown. In croatian witch is translated to vjestica and it doesn't have a clear meaning but starting from the word "vjest", consciousness, I deduce it means a woman who knows, or that has a deep knowledge. I guess it has the same meaning in english.
The word "witch" comes from Old English wiċċe meaning one who practiced sorcery. It's derived from a Proto-Germanic word *wikkōną meaning "to foretell or warn" and has connections to Latin and Sanskrit words related to consecration (victima) and separation (vinákti), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *weyk- (“to consecrate; separate”).
@@airaction6423 PIE was spoken roughly 5 millennia ago. Semantics change, the same word might acquire different meanings in different daughter languages. Linguists work backwards and hypothesise the root word to stand for a common denominator meaning. This is my understanding.
