  • All Languages of India 5000 Years Old, Conservative Estimate

    All Languages of India 5000 Years Old, Conservative Estimate

    The plethora of Languages in India is mind boggling.

    22 Official languages( some estimate to be 25) and 720 Dialects( some estimate 2000) !

    ( http://translation-blog.trustedtranslations.com/india-the-country-with-more-than-2000-dialects-2011-10-18.html

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_history_of_the_Indian_subcontinent)

    The unraveling of the History of these languages is very difficult and calls for an understanding of the Cultural undercurrent running through all these languages.

    Regions may vary,languages and dialects may vary,but the ethos of Sanatana Dharma straddles them like a colossus,albeit with slight modifications as in Tamil,though the core remains the same.

    Looking through the prism of Foreign Culture,would obfuscate the study for to classify and assign them dates without taking Sanatana Dharma into account ,will result in arriving at incorrect conclusions.

    There,again, we have the myth,now debunked Theory of Aryan Invasion.

    This helped the Invaders to divide the country and enaled them to rule India.

    So, a grand design was worked out.

    Take Indian languages,without taking Sanatana Dharma into account,underlying cultural unity among these languages,refer and link these languages to countries,which are now independent of India,like Afghanistan,Iran,Iraq,forgetting the the fact that Bharatavarsha extended throughout the globe,some 5000 years ago.

    (Please read my articles on the spread and Sanatana Dharma, under ‘Hinduism’ or google the country plus Sanatana Dharma +ramanan 50.)

    So for the common man the message was that,

    There are two major Languages,Sanskrit and Tamil,

    The other languages were derived out of either of these or a mixture of two.

    This makes the job of misinformation easier.

    One,you can divide people on the basis of Language and another,you can date individual languages as you please,meaning assign them much later dates!

    What are the facts,when one takes the parameters of Sanatana Dharma,its pervasive nature throughout the world and an independent analysis of each language in conjunction with Sanatana Dharma and the history of a language based on its history and its Dialects?

    1.There ,my research over eight years on Sanatana Dharma,its presence thorughout the world civilizations,my study of Indian languages’s History, compel me to arrive at different sets of facts on Indian languages and their dates.

    2.As records stand now, Sanskrit and Tamil seem to be oldest of the languages of India.

    3.The dates od Sanskrit and Tamil stretch far back in time and it is difficult to say which one wzs earlier,for, A million year old site Athirambakkam,near Chennai,Tamil Nadu,India had an advanced Tamil civilization znd this civilization quotes Vedas.

    And Vedas refer Tamil/Tamils.

    And recent excavations of Poompuhar,Tamil Nadu dates the city 11,000 Year ago!

    Yet the Tamil is assigned a date of around,3000 BC!

    The researches into Lemuria/Kumari Kandam, the home of Tamils indicate Kumari Kandam around 200,000 years ago!

    At worst ,you can date Tamil,at 20,000 years ago.

    4.Telugu.

    Telugu is dated around  1500 BC.

    But people forget Godavari is one of the ancient rivers of India and Godavari civilization was also a cradle of civilization.

    Telugu is mentioned in Ramayana.

    And Tamil Sangam literature refers to Telugu.

    And Tamil Sangam is dated,by the western orientalists at 3000 BC.

    So even by their reckoning Telugu should be at least 3000 years old.

    In fact,based on Indian texts,it is at least 5000 years old.

    5.Kannada is said to be 2500 years old.

    Again Tamil texts refer Kannada and Ramayana refers to the area,Kishkinda,Rama’s sister was married to Rishyashrunga from Sringeri,Karnataka.

    So Kannada can be dated at least 5000 years ago.

    9.Bengali,Marathi,Gujarati, and other languages of regions around Vindhyas and beyond also date back to at least 5000 years.

    They evolved from Prakrit,Brahmi,Sanskrit,which are dated at 5000 years ago or earlier.

    The differnces among these languages is due to the fact that they descended from Brahmi,which had 11 types.

    All the regions in India are described by Valmiki in his Ramayana and Vyasa also refers them in Mahabharata.

    And all the eighteen puranas speak of all these areas and dialects.

    So, none of the Indian Languages are younger than 5000 years.

    The plethora of Languages in India is mind-boggling.

    22 Official languages (some estimate to be 25) and 720 Dialects (some estimate 2000)!

  • Telugu, Tamil Malayalam Not Spoken In North, Incorrect Study

    There was a news item that ten Indian Languages face extinction ,some being swallowed by the other Languages.

    But these are dialects that are in vogue in Karnataka.

    It is natural that a Dialect gets absorbed in a language over a period of time, if the Dialect does not attempt into evolving as a language.

    This is in the hands of the people who speak the Dialect.

    Unless people respect their mother tongue, even if it is a Dialect, the Dialect is bound to die.

    The same phenomenon is likely to happen for the Languages of india if they, in their mad  quest for aping English language and culture., right from asking children from age 3, to chant ‘Rain.Rain Go away’ in a Country where Rains are needed , or ‘Baba Black sheep,,,wool’, where the Sun scorches..

    ”

    According to the Census, Karnataka has 50 tribal languages, besides the speakers of 22 scheduled ones. In all, at least 72 languages are spoken in the state. The survey has examined and recorded 42 of the languages.

    Karnataka is one of the few states with a variety of tongues. For instance, Varli language speakers, settled in Bijapur and Belgaum, number just 165, while Chenchu speakers, settled in Gulbarga and Yadgir districts account for only 470. Dakkhani Urdu took birth in Karnataka after the Mughals shifted their capital from Delhi to Devagiri. Experts vouch for the influence of Dakkhani Urdu on Sufism.

    Linguists express concern that loss of a language is the loss of a knowledge system, life system and ecology. “All tribal languages are endangered. Due to the constraints, we couldn’t conduct field studies and record the status of all languages in the state. For instance, we have only recorded the grammatical structure of seven minority languages – Tulu, Kodava, Konkani, Dakkhani, Banjara, Sanketi and Beary. There are others like Tibetan,” said Prof HM Maheshwaraiah of Karnatak University, who is the editor of the volume on the languages of Karnataka” (times of India ,Aug 10, 2013)

    There was a Report in the Times of India dated 28 August, 2013, quoting the People’s lInguistic Society,listing Indian cities with most languages being spoken, least spoken, and more data on these lines.

    It lists Hindi as the most spoken language, followed by Telugu.

    Seems correct.

    The question arises where the report  lists the languages along with the States they are spoken in, where the Data seems to be incorrect.

    For Instance, Malayalam is shown as being spoken in Kerala, Tamilnadu;Kannada in Karnataka and Andhra:Tamil in Tamil Nadu. Puducherry,Andhra,Kerala.

    What about Malayalam?Tamil/Kannada/Telugu being spoken in the other cities?

    The report also lists that more languages are spoken in the North East.

    Do they mean Dialects.?

    For the survey have they collected data as ‘Mother Tongue’ or ‘the language spoken?’

    There is a wide difference between the two concepts,

    The study seems to suffer from a lot of inaccuracies.

    When they speak of Hindi, which Hindi are they speaking about?

    UP,Bihar,MP,Himachal Pradesh,Maharashtra,Hyderabad, Bangalore?

    Please read the reports at their site.

  • On Telugu,Telugu Men and Women,

    I received a forward from my friend Manian, who is is Australia, a Link from a Blog, which imagines it to be satire on Telugu Men, Women and Telugu in general.

    Though the piece may appeal to some as being funny, it does not appear to be matured.

    To comment on a language , which is slightly younger than the oldest languages like Sanskrit,Tamil and Kannada,even it be a spoof, is nauseating.

    If others were to comment on Tamils‘ arrogance and the propensity of living in the past like quoting Old Tamil Literature without producing anything anew in the recent past,their habit of looking down upon others,their chauvinism,their hawking their governance to Cine Actors(though Telugu had one,thank God  only once)

    ,their pastime of getting into the wrong side of every nation/state where they settle in,their so -called Rationalism where they worship at Graves,garlanding dead leaders(?) criticizing at the same time worship of idols,engaging in scams of unimaginable proportions like 2G(they will elect the same guys to rule them again)…..?

    Even for this piece, the likes of Seeman and Co will cry that ‘Tamil/Tamils’ are insulted.

    Even for fun one should know that there is a decency level and before writing one must know what and who they are.

    Now the meaning of ‘Kundi’ in Telugu,

    ‘ kundi : (page 130)

    kunda n. post, pillar; o.-ni ~ pooTLu poDucu to buffet s.o.

    kundanamkundanam n. gold.

    kundikundi n. brass lamp stand.

    kundukundu v.i. to pine, be sad or dejected.

    http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/search3advanced?dbname=gwynn&query=kundi&matchtype=exact&display=utf8

    Please ask your Kannada friends what is the meaning of Tamil Word ( Tullu'( Jump) in Kannada!

     

    I have nothing against the Honorable Telugu people. Except that they are not worth marrying. Or even knowing in some cases. Unless they own a car. That comes with a driver. Telugu drivers tend to drive well. Mostly because they know how to overtake.

    Over the weekend, there was a surprise visit by a Telugu Family with Eligible Bachelor. We’ve heard that there is a severe drop in the number of Telugu Women, hence, I was especially careful that they not cast their Gult net on our Asal Tamil Family.

    To begin with, an average Telugu person eats too much rice. I cannot imagine a wedding where there might be 200 Telugu guests. It will result in the prices of rice shooting up. We are a very socially responsible family. Besides, in a proper Tamil Wedding, one is allowed only two rounds. Any more, and we think that you don’t come from a family of decent means.
