UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE Edo Nyland (2001)
has proposed the existence of a Universal Language in a book Linguistic Archaeology: An Introduction.
Trafford Publ. 541 p. In this book Nyland revealed the recovery
of stone-age and medieval history by analysis of language. In the process of gathering data he became
convinced that a universal language had existed in the Neolithic and that
virtually all advanced languages of today derived directly from this early
language. This has led to the
development of several hypotheses and a theory of the origin of languages
(see Theory). Analyzing
the place names of the Odyssey, Nyland made the interesting discovery that
names and words may be interpreted as a shorthand, having been agglutinated
from core words of the Basque
language. He identified a subset of the Basque language, the core words of
which have come through since 3,000 B.C. in almost unchanged form, as the
nearest equivalent of the Neolithic universal language that has been spoken
in Europe and the Near East before speech became confused in Babylon. Applying his
new decoding method to names and words from many other language families, he
arrived at the startling conclusion that words of ancient languages like
Sanskrit and Sumerian as well as of modern European languages like English,
Spanish or German, can be decoded by the same method into Basque sentences
revealing hidden meaning. This discovery supports the hypothesis of
monogenesis of languages, according to Genesis 11.1: "...now the whole earth had one language..."
As ancient
words and names have come with meanings attached to them which cannot be
substantiated by the hidden meaning decoded from them, a great deal of
falsified or censored history can be recovered, revealing that many languages
have been invented from the universal language, according to Genesis 11.7: "...come, let us go down and there confuse their
language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
