Asia and Amerindia Language Comparisons Charles Graves

Here we introduce the second volume following upon Only One Human Language (Iver Publications 2016, 393 pp.). We have made a hypothesis that American Indian terminology conforms to the basic macrofamilies of 'Nostratic' or to that of 'Sino-Caucasian' established respectively by Prof. Vladislav Illich-Svitych and Sergei Starostin and published in the series Evolutionary Cultural Semiotics in 1990s by the Universitätsverlag Dr. Norbert Brockmeyer, University of Bochum (Germany). Some Amerindian terminology conforms to both of these proto-language 'macrofamilies'. And some very primitive language terminology such as that of the Campa in eastern Peru or of the Yanonami of Venezuela /Brazil, illustrate a common terminology prior to, but related to, the development of the above-mentioned macrofamilies. In their pristine quality these resemble the Saami or the Ainu languages of Eurasia. In the second part we illustrate how the world languages, and in particular, the religious terminology of several peoples, and the Chinese language in general, coincide with our earlier published charts on proto-syllables (see Only One Human Language 2016, pp. 352, 364), i.e. that every human language uses the same group of syllables to express the same relation to an 'object', e.g. syllables expressing 'loving, mildly loving, opposing, mildly opposing, explaining, controlling, describing, expressing, remembering, quizzical or muse-music'. Here again, in this new volume, we prove that proto-syllable construction is always the same for every human being - based, apparently, upon a fixed brain-mouth-chords complexity. This is shown to be invariable and we only need neurological science to show us more fully how it works in the brain of homo sapiens. Included you will find a very extensive bibliography of Eurasian and Amerindian sources with indications of where sets of terminology of each ethnic group can be found. Included is material on 200 Amerindian and 30 Eurasian groups
