The Albanian Language: Unveiling the Primordial Code.

Part I : The Origins of Wheat and Language The Arban (Arbios) people first introduced wheat to the world, followed by their civilization and language. Europe's grain history began with wild grains, preceding domesticated grains, agricultural expansion, and bread production. Anatolian Origins Research by Quentin Atkinson (Science, 24 August 2012) supports the Anatolian origin of Indo-European languages. Domesticated grain cultivation emerged in Anatolia (present-day Turkey) around 10,000 years ago. Recent studies confirm Albanian as one of the oldest Indo-European languages, backing Atkinson's findings. Etymological Connections The Albanian language derives from Anatolian, with etymological ties to wheat cultivation. Language evolution parallels human development, tool creation, and population growth. Linguistic Evidenc e Albanian's unique symbolism, hidden beneath other languages, reveals its ancient roots. Phonetic changes and hierarchical spread must be considered in ling...

πᾰν- (pan)

"Pan" mendohet sot se vjen nga "greqishtja" e lashtë πᾰν- (pan-). Ne fakt "greqishtja" e lashte nuk eshte gjuhe tjetër veçse shqipja "pa an". Nje diçka qe nuk ka fillim dhe mbarim. Teknollogjizuar nga priftërinjte e kishave si "të gjitha, ghithçka, çdo gjë". Koncepti i "pa an" si diçka pa fillim ose pafund, nje ide e marrë prej gjuhes shqipe që teknologjizohet ose interpretohet si "të gjitha" ose "gjithçka" nga prifterinjte e kishave mesjetare dhe i vihet emri gjuhe "greke". A kanë kenë tē zgjuar priftërinjtë e kishave në mesjetë? Po. Nuk a e lehtë ta kuptosh lidhjen semantike midis tyre. Lidhja semantike midis "anëve" dhe "fillimit" dhe "mbarimit" qëndron në idenë e kufijve, anet jane kufijte e objektit, fillimet dhe mbarimet e tij. Në shumë gjuhë, përfshirë shqipen, koncepti i "anës" është i lidhur ngushtë me idenë e kufijve, skajeve. Kur diçka ka "an...

The Hidden Codes of the Albanian Language

The Albanian language, spoken by millions of people in the Balkans and beyond, holds a treasure trove of secrets and insights into the culture, philosophy, and worldview of its speakers. By examining the language's underlying codes, we can uncover a profound understanding of the world, reflecting fundamental concepts that shape human experience. Breaking Down the Codes At its core, the Albanian language is composed of a set of codes that convey meaning and symbolism. These codes can be distilled into a few key elements: *I* : Beginning, unity, and singularity, as seen in words like "i" (one), "filim" (beginning), and "fimila" (child). - *A* and *AI*: Also denoting beginning and height, but with added connotations of origin and source, as in "nga"/"kah" (from), "majë" (peak), and "mal" (mountain). - *G* : Representing unity, togetherness, and matter, as exemplified in "gjë" (thing), "gjithë" (...

Etimologjia e fjalës Ande

Etimologjia e fjalës Ande është debatuar. Konsensusi i shumicës është se ai rrjedh nga fjala Keçua anti "lindje" si në Antisuyu (Keçua për "rajonin lindor"), një nga katër rajonet e Perandorisë Inka. Etimologjia: ANDE= AN DE= AN DA=A>E AN DA me shqipen e vjetër dhe lindje me shqipen moderne. Koncepti i gjuhës së parë: Andet, malet e Andeve ose vargmali i maleve të Andeve janë vargmali më i gjatë kontinental në botë, duke formuar një malësi të vazhdueshme përgjatë anës perëndimore të Amerikës së Jugut duke u shtrirë drejt ne anë te kontinentit nga Jugu në Veri përmes shtatë vendeve të Amerikës së Jugut: Argjentinë, Kili, Bolivia, Peruja, Ekuador, Kolumbia dhe Venezuela. A ka ardh nga *lindje (an e djellit=an de) apo nga "an nda", "ndarja në anë" gjuhëtarët e sotëm nuk mund ta kuptojnë. Gjuha te paktën 20 mijëvjeçare e kupton këte, gjuha shqipe.

The origin of the word "life".

Thuhet se jeta (iata/iota/iotia) është e vetmja bulëzë levizore kundër vdjekjes (vde-es), futjes në dhe, moslevizjes i vetmi sistem i aftë të mbajë një nivel konstant levizje te pandërprerë brënda vetes ene-te-rro-bi. Ka të ngjarë që fjala ka lindë nga një abstraksion i giale(gjalle), i gjallë, një cilësi e thjeshtë, e menjëhershme e një trupi "gjë" dhe "le" (lind). Një cilësi që bashkon një klasë të tërë të patjes se një gjëje te lindur, e cila përmban ne thelb levizjen, e cila përfshin një cikël levizes së gjëse - nga bimët, në kafshët dhe në njerëzit. Për shqisat tona të përceptimit te saj, per njerezit e parë do të thoshte lindje, levizje parësore, rritje e saj, perseri me l=r, për të qenë i bërë, aftësi për t'u bër-jetësuar në vazhdimësi bërëzash por edhe "gjë" (ekzistencë). Mendimi abstrakt vjen nga simbboli fizik, është një forcë e pandalshme levizës e gjëse, që lind, që rritet, që ndryshon dhe nuk mbaron, teëgjitha me levizjen l=r, gjithmonë e...

The Primordial Movement of Life: A Philosophical Exploration

In the Albanian language, the word "jeta" (life) embodies a profound philosophical insight: life is movement. This seemingly simple concept belies a complex web of relationships between existence, language, and the human experience. As we delve into the etymology and symbolism of "jeta," we uncover a rich tapestry of meaning that challenges our understanding of life, death, and the very fabric of reality. The Etymological Roots of Life The Albanian word "jeta" is derived from the root "giale" (living) and "le" (born, move). This etymological connection reveals a fundamental aspect of life: its inherent dynamism. Life is not a static state, but a process of growth, change, and evolution. The sound shift from "L" to "I" to "J" in the Albanian language symbolizes this movement, as if the very sound itself is in a state of flux. The Philosophy of Movement The concept of movement is central to our understanding ...

Reevaluating the Albanian Language's Origins: A Critical Examination of Linguistic Assumptions

Abstract : This article challenges the prevailing view of the Albanian language as a heavily borrowed language, arguing that many alleged loanwords may, in fact, be native Albanian or share common roots with other Indo-European languages. We contend that the field of linguistics has relied too heavily on speculation and predetermined labels, neglecting the importance of etymological evidence within Albanian. Introduction : The study of the Albanian language has long been influenced by the dominant paradigm of Indo-European linguistics, which posits that Albanian is a language heavily influenced by neighboring languages. However, this perspective overlooks the possibility that Albanian may be the source of many loanwords, rather than the recipient. Theoretical Background: Linguistic theory has traditionally relied on the concept of borrowing to explain the presence of similar words across languages. However, this approach neglects the complex dynamics of language contact and the potenti...

The Albanian Language: A Window into Ancient Orientation and Cosmology

The Albanian language holds a unique secret: its vocabulary reveals an intricate relationship between east-west orientation and the sunrise/sunset cycle. This linguistic phenomenon sheds light on the cognitive processes of ancient Albanians, highlighting their deep connection with nature and the environment. The Logic of Orientation: Sunrise and Numbering In Albanian, the east is associated with sunrise, symbolizing birth and renewal. This correlation underlies the language's logical structure, where: 1. East (Lindje) = Sunrise (Lindja) = Give birth (Lind)= Number One (ni- Geg Albanian) 2. The numbering of directions and time begins simultaneously from this reference point. Embodied Cognition: Facing the Sunrise When standing facing the rising sun, the Albanian speaker's orientation influences their conceptual framework: 1. Anatol (East) = Sunrise = First Movement of the Sun, where the Sun *del (exits) and *lind (born) 2. Left hand = North (Veri) = Direction of Winds (Vi'er...

The Ancient Roots of Lamentation: Unveiling the Albanian Connection.

In the realm of linguistics, few words have captivated the imagination like the ancient Greek term "oides" (ὠίδης), meaning "song" or "lamentation." But what lies behind this enigmatic term? A fascinating exploration of the Albanian language and culture reveals a profound connection between the sounds of lamentation and the shaping of European language. The Concrete Practice of Lament Songs The Albanian tradition of wailing or Gjëmë (Gjâmë in the Gae dialect) is a mourning custom where a group of men or women lament the dead. This ancient practice, now almost extinct, has its roots in the Dardan burial stelae of classical antiquity. The pictorial representations of this tradition in traditional villages inhabited by Albanians demonstrate the significance of lamentation in Albanian culture. The Ailinon Exclamatory Chorus Bledar Kondi's research highlights the Ailinon exclamatory chorus, originating in agrarian religion, which can be compared to a series...

The Albanian Roots of Greek "Patris" (πατρίς): A Linguistic Exploration

Abstract This article examines the etymological connection between Albanian and Greek "patris" (πατρίς), demonstrating Albanian's significant influence on ancient Greek. Through phonetic and semantic analysis, we reveal the conservative nature of Albanian and its importance in understanding Indo-European roots. Introduction The Greek concept of "patris" (πατρίς), denoting "homeland" or "fatherland," has sparked linguistic interest. This study provides a novel etymological analysis, tracing "patris" to Albanian roots. Etymological Analysis Albanian's conservative nature preserves ancient sounds and meanings. Consider the etymological development: *bho > bha > ba_ (to make, passive to be made/created) + *At_ (father) + *ris (rris)_ (grow up, rise) Ba > Pa (phonetic shift) Patris = Pa (to be made) - AT (father) - rris (to grow up) This etymology suggests "patris" signifies "the place where I was made, grew u...

Albanian's Hidden Influence: Rethinking the Etymology of 'Julius 'Julius

Historical Background The Roman gens Julia, including Julius Caesar, bore a name that has puzzled linguists for centuries. Traditional etymologies linked "Julius" to Latin "iuvare" (to help) or "Iovis" (of Jupiter), but these explanations remain unsatisfying. Linguistic Analysis A fresh examination reveals a compelling connection between "Julius" and Albanian "Yll" (star): 1. *PIE Root*: The Proto-Indo-European root "*dyeu-" means "to shine" and is associated with celestial bodies. 2. *Albanian Yll*: "Yll" retains the original meaning, referring to a star. 3. *Latin Iulius*: The Latin name "Iulius" likely derives from "*iuli-", a formation from *Yli. The Latin "IU" replaces the original "Y" sound, lost in Latin. 4. *Sound Shifts*: The shift from "Y" to "IU" in Latin. Albanian preserves the original "Y" sound. Etymological Connection Consi...

Exposing Etymological Fallacies: The Case of "Concentrate".

European linguists often attribute the etymology of "concentrate" to Latin words "con-" (together) and "centrum" (center). However, this explanation obscures the true semantic connections. Albanian Insights  Albanian phrase "me kon ne kender" (to be in the center) reveals a more logical etymological link. "Kon" is Geg Albanian, the infinitive of the verb to be, and "center" originates from "rreth" (circle) of Albanian language, a rtc of of "RET" and "RRETH-UM" (surrounded). Deconstructing Latin Etymology The claimed Latin origin of "centre" from "centrum" and Greek "kentron" (sharp point) is flawed. Albanian "rreth" (circle) explains "centrum," while Latin lacks this connection. Unveiling Linguistic Manipulation This etymological distortion conceals the Albanian language's primacy. The concept of "i rrethum" (surrounded) and the symbo...

The Albanian Origins of Romance "Questo" (This)

The Albanian Origins of Romance "Questo" (This) Fatmir Iliazi Abstract This article proposes an Albanian etymology for the Romance word "questo" (this), challenging traditional Latin-based explanations. Introduction The word "questo" (this) is ubiquitous in Romance languages. However, its semantic complexity remains unexplained by Latin-derived theories. Albanian Connection Albanian offers a compelling etymological explanation: 1. Ky (this one) 2. Eshte (is) The Albanian forms *a (is), asht, isht underlies the existential form "a i zon=a i bër" (it is made, done, created), also rooted in the verb "exist." Semantic Analysis Albanian provides a richer semantic understanding: - Proximity in space and time - Presence and current relevance - Contrast with distal demonstratives (e.g., "that") Comparative Linguistics | Language | Demonstrative | | Albanian | Ky (this) | | Italian | Questo (this) | | Spanish | Este (this) | | French |...
