Affinity of the Words in Languages Spoken in the Asian and European Countries
Abstract
Language is the way which unites to the man’s culture, social and religious life. In the modern worlds various languages are spoken. Every language has its own history and its own area of influence. But one thing is that some languages are related to each other. In ancient India languages were based on tribes’ languages. It was noticed that some ancient languages presented striking similarities: Greek and Latin are a well-known example. During classical antiquity it was noted, for example, that Greek héks “six” and heptá “seven” were similar to the Latin sex and septem. Furthermore, the regular correspondence of the initial h- in Greek to the initial s- in Latin was pointed out.
About the time when the Aryans invaded India, tribes speaking the same language immigrated into Europe and settled in Greece, different tracts of Scandinavia, Germany and Italy, the seat of Imperial Rome. One of the western offshoots founded the Persian monarchy, while another stock settled in Spain and ancient England. Modern linguistic researches have established the unity of the great Aryan family from Ceylon to Greet Britain and Scandinava, from the farthest north to the equator. The Brahmins, the Rajputs and the English are alike the descendants of the ancient Aryans.1 In this paper we have tried to justify some words which are pronounced similarity in the various different languages and their meaning also remains same. On the basis of these words, it also tries to shows the similarities of European and Asian people to each other.
