@@LeeGee Historically, England was Loegre, the English were Sais (Saxons) in my part of the world. In a neighbouring hamlet an 8th Century farmer gifted land to the church that he'd bought for "twenty [lacuna], a valuable sword, a Saxon woman and a fine horse". I like obscure cultural references, so the castle at Caerleon's architecture will be based on the National Union of Mineworker's HQ in Barnsley - once referred to in The Sun newspaper as "King Arthur's Castle" because Arthur Scargill had a grace-and-favour apartment there. There'll be some former Shop Steward from South Wales who'll see it and quietly smile at that.

Original or Old English came from Franks; was adopted and modified by Frisians, or English, who were not of one of the pure, basic lines, but from a mixture, unwise and inobservant, of two basic ones, Okebeni or proto-Celtic, and Germanian. Frankish Old English is not of such bad portent for us. The 13 basic hierarchical Nations wre described perfectly by John Dee, except that "Brytania" does not followingly constitute one of the Basic 13, but English or Frisian is of Archetypical attribution with the basic, hierarchical Germanian. in that Ngetal position, Scotland or Alba is correct, one of the 13 Hierarchical, being a pure line. Through most forbidden means, including murder of Celtic Kings and leaders, the English subjugated a very great many Celts; made them speak English, not at all good for them. A first such martyr for Celtic was King Celt, placed in bonds and shackles, a dungeon, by the English; eventually murdered, as he refused to submit to English rule and hegemony, for his people. Then, the ancient village Nehitevmetebec was sacked by the English, who had entered the Okebeni land from the east; later called England; all the parents slaughtered, the children taken into Captivity and servitude. Now, every E,nglish or Frisian has been sent to Punishment, including the First, Memkixu. As also, goddess Bellona or Britannia. There was some weaker or alloyed Channel or Sign for English, but it was removed from the planet with that old Aquarius "New Aeon". Never has there been a citizen of this land, English or Frisian; the maority have been Anglicised Celts, of a Race rut many called Anglo-Saxon. Jecthmeqeswyeq is the Miasm or sickness which Anglicisation causes Celts, in Okebeni or ancient Celtic language; the condition of very incredibly low vitality, distone, etc.... The Land's Over Sign here- all you need to recognize for yourself- became fully Celtic, especially Albannach, with the permanent removal from the planet of the English Sign or Channel. That Old Aeon, some of the land had a German attribution, perhaps others as well. A language which is not of one's True Rezefede is called Levgetefzeda, in Okebeni; one of a Rezefede Channel which has been removed, Zybit. English then is both. Because of fundamental Error and forbiddenness, no one gathering under the deceptive flag, U.S.A. or America, has ever been able to have Race Energy and Blessing, called Rezefede; some curse, probably Eternal, unless the name used for the land is changed to Alba Nuadh or Nova Scotia. The top best language to use is Scottish Gaelic; there is no language of worse portent for usage as the Frisian English...

World first cultures Lepenski vir, Starcevo, Vinca- today Serbia. World first industrial revolution ca. 6000 BC. Bronze metallurgy. (BBC History news March 2010) Gordon Childe-The Danube in Prehistory, Jacque Pirenne-Agriculture at Danube Farming start about 6000 BC. Vinca First Calendar start to count years at 5508 BC. (Now in 2024 we have year 7532) Farming wouldn’t be possible without knowledge of calendar. Both development started and developed together. Harald Harman about first cyrillic writings in Vinca culture in 5500 BC so 2000 years before any writings anywhere else on the world. Vinca Iron production 1400 BC. In today English language there is more than 2000 same or similar Serbian words. Names of the Balkan tribes: Pelasgians, Mycenaeans, Etruscan, Wendi, Illiyrians, Macedonians, Dardanians (Original Troy is here, not in Turkey, Homer wrote sea is freezing in the winter-Panonian sea), Moesians, Dacians, Thracians, Rasci, Celts, Scythians, Sarmatians, Arians, Sea People, Peleset, Philistines, Hittites, Bhrygians. Tribes spread in all directions all over Europe and Asia ……. Wild Greeks arived ~ 1000 BC from Egipt, Hungarian from Asia and Bulgars from Asia they found culture on the Balkans, writings and language and they mixed with domestic people. 18 Roman emperors were born in Serbia because of Etruscan connection. After Trojan war many groups of people left Troy in all directions to middle Europe, northern Europe to Britain and Scandinavia, south to Anatolia.One group under Aeneas sat sail with 22 ships and about 3400 followers and reach Italy-Etruscans. Proto serbian language is older than Sanskrit, Greek, Latin or all western Europian languages. Plato confirms in his work The Dialogues of Plato-Cratylus the Greeks used Pelasgian (Proto Serbian) to develop their own language.

As fascinating as Old-English is, I think it would be far more interesting if the Anglo-Saxons never came to dominate Britain, and thus, create England and the English language. Instead, if the native Celtic language of the Britain (albeit highly Latinized) became THE language of Britain, instead of the foreign, Germanic Old-English, it would be more interesting. There are already so many types of Germanic languages, back then and today, but there are very little Celtic languages left. Why did we fight the Germans in both world wars then? Perhaps if the Nazis did successfully invaded Britain (William the Conqueror style), then we might perhaps have a revival of a Germanness in the English language, de-romanticizing English, and wiping out the Celtic languages in the process; thus, finishing where the Anglo-Saxons left off in fully Germanizing the British Isles.

TAMIL CONNECTION : Unfortunately there is no recognition for the oldest language Tamil, the under rated dark horse. There are plenty of not only English words which relates either directly to Tamil language or seeped deformations through various intermediaries like Sanskrit, Greek or Latin etc into English. Examples Button is actually a Tamil word pronounced as Pothaan for thousands of years. Sponge = Panju actually used to refer cotton. Pipe= Pazhuppu in Tamil Paleo was actually Pazhaya or old in Tamil. Betrothal is actually a Tamil word Petror ( Parents)+ Oppudhal acceptance) Petroropputhal. Puddings = Puttu Red comes from Ratham Emperor Empire comes from Embiran means great ruler of a vast area. "Thol""tholai" is used in Tamil to refer distance which gradually became Thel and later as tele and used in words like telephone(Tholaipesi), television (tholaikatchi), telegraph and telegram. Doosu became Dust Payattu Tamil word becomes Fight. Theyyal, theyyalar becomes Tailor. Thechu becomes Stichu and stitch. Thachchar, thachachan becomes Thachar surname in England i.e Margret Thacher whose ancestor's were actually Roof Makers and stiching leaves and branches to make roof was their profession. Earlier roofs were made by stiching leaves together and placing on the roofs. Kalvettu becomes culvert in English Kurippu becomes Skurippu and later script. Oppari a kind of dance drama Tamil becomes Opera Thadhai of Tamil becomes daddy in English. Mandooram of Tamil gradually became Mound, Mount, mountain etc. Montenegro Kalainjium becomes Colosseum in Italian and English language Congee= porridge, water with rice; Originated from Tamil and Malayalam Kanji Coir= From Tamil kayiru Catamaran = From Tamil Kattumaram Kattu means tied up, Maram means logs. Cot from Tamil Kattil Ginger from Inji in Tamil. Sugar and Jaggery. Long etymology. Attu (8)+ Kara (Arms)+Aaram (Circle) Attukaraaram->Atkararam->Satkararam->Satkaram->Sakkaram. Contd... Sakkaram means wheel in Tamil. Wheel with eight arms. Sakkara (Wheel)+ Arai (Grind,Ground) in Tamil. The one which is ground by wheel. (Sugar cane ground by wheel becomes Sugar. Sugar gradually deforms into sukkar, shakkar, Jaggery etc. Mango from Tamil Maangai Pagoda from Tamil word Pagavadi i.e A house for a diety. Teak a Tamil word Theykku or teku. Cash from Tamil word Kaasu. Even words like Casino, Casanova etc. Eight from Tamil word Yettu. One is from Tamil word Ondru. Victory from Tamil word Vettry All English words having TERRA comes from the Tamil word Tarai. Tarai means Ground, floor or in a larger sense a place or an area. Territory, Terestrial, Extra Terrestrial. Extra itself Ex + Terra means above normal level. Ultra means something beyond normal level of cognition. Still there are hundreds of words not only in English but in almost all parts of the world which needs deep study. The very word England itself has a Tamil origin. The earliest settlers first landed in an arc shaped or Angle shaped land in the extreme east coast and called it as anguli Tarai (Tharai) meaning angled place and they were Anguliars or Angulitaraiyars. That place got named later as Angula Nadu which gradually deforms as Angulnad, Anguland, England, England! Also the very word Etymology can be broken up as Aathi or Aadhi + Moola+ Alasi or Aalosi. Aadhi means first or earliest. Moolam means root or origin. Alasi means to check deeply or research. Even Aalosi means to probe deep mentally. Aadhi moola alasi = Aadhimoolalasi= Aathimoology = Etymology. Peychu of Tamil deforms to Spea hu then Speach. Aaku becomes Maku later Make Tamil "Peedu" becomes Speedu and Speed. "Matirai" becomes Meter "Peedu Matirai" becomes Speedometer. Urundai of Tamil becomes Round. Naagam becomes snake. Ilamanjal Kai becomes Lemon Urul becomes Roll. Urundai becomes Round. Moolakuru becomes Molecule. Koll in Tamil = Kill in English Itara becomes other in English Parisu becomes Prize in English Arisi of Tamil becomes Rice Vaadu of Tamil becomes "Fade Allan of Tamil becomes Aqua. Pala becomes Poly. Miga and Magha of Tamil become Mega. Mudir becomes Mature. Isaipadu becomes Accept Paathai becomes Path Vazhi becomes way Kiribati becomes Grain Narambu becomes Nerve Butti , Buttil becomes Bottle Illam ,Illu becomes Villa Surungu becomes Shrink Pazhuthu becomes Fault Adam becomes Adamant Uddan becomes Sudden Vendi becomes want Kai pattru becomes Capture Tirugi becomes Torque Alavu becomes level Madamai becomes Mad Kaani becomes Cawney Surutu, churuttu becomes Cheroot Kalvettu becomes Culvert Copparai becomes copra. Kari becomes Curry Pachilai becomes Patchouli Paravi becomes Spray Naagam becomes snake Ithu becomes It. And many many more words! kzitem.info kzitem.info
