article shows how "Old English" evolved 4/30/2002 For the last two hundred years the soft science of linguistics has overlooked that English and Ukrainian, two large languages spoken at the antipodes of Europe, are intimately related. This oversight may have resulted from the absence of Ukraine (formerly Rus’) from the map for the last seven centuries because of various invaders. While linguists searched far and wide for the cradle of the Indo-European languages, now spoken by half of the population of the globe, within the last twenty years the hard science of marine geology and population genetics (via chromosome “Y” and other studies), unerringly pointed to Ukraine 20,000 years ago as the paternal homeland of 80% of modern Europeans. The article below illustrates the uncanny similarity of English and Ukrainian vocabularies and their marked difference from German and French, which have been hitherto acknowledged as the ancestors of the English language. This article also describes, based on data from the multidisciplinarian research, how the Proto-Ukrainian genes and language dispersed as far as West China, the Indus Valley and Scotland following the flooding of the low-lying fresh water Black Lake by the Mediterranean by cutting a channel through the Bosphorus with rapid formation of the Black Sea 6,000 B.C. The second injection of the Slavic vocabulary into English occurred in the 5th century A.D. during hibernal desiccation of the Euro-Asian steppes prompting the great migration of nations westward.. Thereby, Slavic farmers (Wends/Jutes) reached Britain along with the Anglo-Saxon invaders. This article demonstrates that:1. Archaic as well as contemporary English vocabularies are suffused with hundreds of modern Ukrainian words and permeated with thousands of Proto-Ukrainian roots via borrowings from Greek, French and Latin. 2. Modern English is significantly closer to Ukrainian than to German or French . For example:
The above suggests that linguistically, if not genetically, tribes of Angles, Saxons and Jutes who settled Kents, south east of London (“invaded Britain) from Northern Germany around 5th century, and then imposed their language on the local Celts, were more Wendic (Slavic) then Teutonic or Gallic. Physical evidence from marine geology and biology, submarine archeology, physical anthropology, paleo-climatology, polynology and especially the latest data (1999-2001) from population genetics, indicate that Proto-Indo-Europeans (and Proto-Indo-European language, PIE) are equivalent with Proto-Ukrainians and that both began to evolve about 30,000 to 20,000 years ago, and maintained their unique genetic markers (e.g. in chromosomes “Y” or Rh-negativity) to this date. The above multidisciplinarian data indicates that Proto-Ukrainians and their language dispersed throughout Euro-Asia in two waves: First and the major one was caused by the flooding of the lacustrian plains of the archaic, fresh-water Black Lake by Mediterranean sea waters and creation of the Black Sea around 6,000 B.C. The second, a minor wave was caused by hibernal desiccation of the Euro-Asia. (between 400 A.D. and 800 A.D.), which expanded zone of arable liso-steppe (forest-steppe) from Central Europe up to Britain and Ireland*. During this era, the Euro-Asian steppes became snow-less what provided year-round fodder (hay) for equestrian, trans-continental migration of Asiatic nomads. When trans-Uralic nomads pushed Slavic farmers up to river Elba (Laba in Wendic) and Jutland, some of these Slavs (Wends and Jutes) colonized the evolving, arable riverine meadows in Britain during 5th and 6th centuries and introduced Ukrainian vocabulary into British Isles. * It is erroneously believed that chronic lead poisoning from lead plumbing brought collapse Roman Empire. Instead the decisive factor was the desiccation of Europe and North Africa. Starting about 400 A.C. it turned Central Italy into a dust bowl, which in time covered Forum Romanum with 5 meters thick layer of loess, sand and windborn clay. This climatic change reduced the once flourishing agriculture to subsistance farming, resulting in lack of men and horses for defense. When one farmer can feed two or three families, there is a surplus of men to defend or expand empires. On the other hand, the prolonged deprivation of agriculture-dependent populations, creates era of oportunity for mobile nomads and sea raiders for ravaging imobile coastal city dwellers and farmers surrounded by flatlands. This article postulates that: 1. Jutes (about whom nothing is known, except that they settled Kent, South East of London and Isle of Wight) were agrarian Slavs, and an off shot of Wends. Since it is widely believed that English evloved in the vicinity of London and Kent, this might explain incredibly large amount of borrowings in English from Ukrainian, until now overlooked. 2. Anglo-Saxon a.k.a. Old English is essentially incomprehensible to the speakers of Modern English, because, among others*, it is suffused with Ukrainian vocabulary. Apparently, the genetic mix of Anglo-Saxon hunters, and seafaring Friesians, who transported agrarian Wends and Jutes to Britain, developed Creolic language in these new settelments, consisting of mixture of truncated Anglo-Saxon and Ukrainian languages, written in Roman alphabet. * the “others” include truncated and shifting Anglo-Saxon grammar, wildly unstable orthography, changing from decade to decade, and from scribe to scribe, varying even when written by the same hand and many, now incomprehensible, archaic, usually Anglo-Saxon or Friesian, words. Thus, it is not surprising that various Old English scholars provide different readings for certain words or groups of words in Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. The following linguistic analysis of the well known Psalm illustrates our thesis that Old and Modern English are far closer to Ukrainian then to French or German. Ukrainian-derived words are underlined, below:
** Our ethymology of “green” might be streched, but it follows the ethymology of “green” and “grass” given by the most authoritative Oxford English Dictionary.
* Contextual translation: translation consistent with context of the Psalm, time of its creation and ecology of the area ** Anglo-Saxon feohland, clearing is cognate of polana, in Ukrainian clearing, in which prefix p was transmuted into f and suffix a into d. Feohland refers to a larege clearing, or a meadow, or liso-steppe with grass and flowering herbs, ment for harvesting for hay. “Clearing” is an economically desirable feature of liso-steppe in wet, wesstern Europe. Steppe or steppe-like meadows do not exist in semi-arid Middle East, where in semi-desert one finds aboundant scrub or dry grazing land. *** In Middle East ecology: -- sweet field or pasture = field or meadow with non-acid and low salt content soil, i.e. unlike sabka, falt fields of sand permated with salt and/or gypsum. -- “standing” (still) water = permanent oasis restless water = an intermitent, unpredictable, destructive flume in a wadi flowing water = a river King David Psalm 23; German, 16th century, translated into German by Martin Luther:
King David Psalm 22 (23); Latin, 5th (?) century Vulgate?:
Super aquam refectionis educavit* me Modern verbatim Over to waters of restoration [he] leads me Ukr. phonetic - - - - mene Ukr. verbatim - - - - me
Modern verbatim [The] eternal is my shepherd; I not nothing need Ukr. phonetic - ye meei - ya nee - - Ukr. verbatim - is my - I not - -
Modern verbatim He me gives rest on green pastures Ukr. phonetic - meni - - - - pasovysko Ukr. verbatim - me - - - - pasture Il me dirige pr`es des eaux palsibles. Modern verbatim He me directs? ? ? ?? water ??? Ukr. phonetic - mee - - - - - Ukr. verbatim - me - - - - -
- At first look, some Ukrainan phonics do not appear similar to English due to a phenomenon of phonic shifts, recognized by all linguists in virtually all languages, and in Anglo-Saxon exemplified by …………… - Trained, bi-lingual, Ukrainian/English linguists might find more Ukrainian ethymologies or word roots in the above versions of this Psalm. The above examples of various renditions of a continous text, even more explicitly demonstrate that Anglo-Saxon and English are closer to Ukrainian than German [because Proto-Teutonic languages evolved from Proto-Ukrainian (a.k.a. Proto-Indo-European) about 8,000 years ago and English evolved first as a pidgin, and then as creolic mixture of Anglo-Saxon, Friesian and Ukrainian about 1,500 years ago. |
