This is put up as it relates to my Scythian thesis. Previously someone (jon) replied to a blog on this I put up so i am posting this in forum as well. It links into my thesis very well, as I hold a link to Hittites in Scythia also. this thing has really come together in some significant areas since I first hypothesized it. Wow this is another big piece of the puzzle now in place.

Auckland University researchers have stunned academics worldwide
by tracing the origins of the English language to 'Turkish'
(geographical term only!) farmers.

Using a novel approach to develop an Indo-European language tree,
the researchers say they have evidence that the roots of the English
language go back about 9000 (sic) years to Turkey.
It was thought the language was spread either by rampaging Kurgan
horsemen who swept down into Europe and the Near East from the
steppes of Russia 6000 (sic) years ago, or by farmers from Anatolia
(modern Turkey) who had tilled their way westwards several
millenniums earlier. Professor Gray, an evolutionary biologist
in the university's psychology department, said yesterday that his
results showed only the latter theory could be correct.
Professor Gray said Hittite (an extinct Anatolian language)
was the first major language group to branch from the Indo-
European trunk. Over subsequent millenniums the same trunk
sprouted Tocharian, (located--eventually-- in Western China)
Armenian, Greek, Albanian, Iranian, Indic, Slavic, Baltic,
Germanic, French/Iberian, Italic and Celtic language groups.

The good professor needs to continue his studies. 'Tis not quite
that simple. The Celtic languages present a problem, especially
Welsh, which exhibits a very strong Hebrew character--modern
students of language attempt to brush this off as a 'Hamitic'
influence. (Even English for that matter has some 75 percent of
it's basic (Anglo-Saxon) vocabulary derived from Hebrew,
but the Welsh is a more startling example.)

Several other scholars have noted the extraordinary affinity between
Hebrew and the Welsh languages. Dr. Davies, in his 'Welsh Grammar'
tells us that almost every page of the Welsh translation of the Bible
is replete with Hebraisms, in the time, sense and spirit of the original.
Another authority, Dr Duncan M'Dougal, says: "You can take any
sentence in Hebrew and change it into Gaelic, word for word,
without altering the order of a single word or particle, and you will
have the correct Gaelic idiom in every case. You cannot do that with
any other language in Europe.

Rev. Eliezer Williams, (born 1754) Vicar of Lampeter, Britain, and a
Chaplin in Britain's Royal Navy, is noted as a researcher and prolific
writer on ancient Celtic tribes. He wrote the following: "Scarcely a
Hebrew root can be discovered that has not its corresponding
derivation in the ancient British language...In Richard's Welsh and
English Dictionary (pub. Bristol, 1750) and in several other philological
works, the affinity of the Welsh bears to the Hebrew language is
strenuously maintained. But not only do the words themselves
indicate that similarity between the two; their variations and
inflexions afford a much stronger proof of affinity."

Welsh scholars and writers of early days also noticed a remarkably
closer resemblance between the ancient British (Welsh) and the
Hebrew language. In some unaccountable way, these early studies
received little attention by modern scholars. We will examine a few
words to show how closely the Hebrew and Welsh languages
resemble each other, both in sound and sense, leaving no doubt
to the Eastern descent of the Celts. Many of the words, it will be
seen, have been transmitted into our modern English: (Taken from

NZ study cracks origin of English language
01.12.2003
By ANGELA GREGORY
Auckland University researchers have stunned academics worldwide by tracing the origins of the English language to Turkish (sic) farmers.
Using a novel approach to develop an Indo-European language tree, the researchers say they have evidence that the roots of the English language go back about 9000 years to Turkey.
Associate Professor Russell Gray and PhD student Quentin Atkinson published their research in the British journal Nature.
Their findings on the long-debated origins of the language have quickly spread.
The origin of the Indo-European language family has been the most intensively studied problem of historical linguistics, but numerous genetic studies have produced inconclusive results.
For almost two centuries linguists and archaeologists debated two theories on the origins of the language family, whose members ranged from Greek and Hindi to German and English.
It was thought the language was spread either by rampaging Kurgan horsemen who swept down into Europe and the Near East from the steppes of Russia 6000 years ago, or by farmers from Anatolia (modern Turkey) who had tilled their way westwards several millenniums earlier.
Professor Gray, an evolutionary biologist in the university's psychology department, said yesterday that his results showed only the latter theory could be correct.
He had used methods derived from evolutionary biology to study the problem for the past five years.
He accepted his approach to build an evolutionary tree of the Indo-European languages was controversial and subject to criticism.
But Professor Gray said he thought it was a valid technique that had clearly shown the origins of the English language went back further than had been thought, excluding the Kurgan horsemen theory.
It appeared that Indo-European languages had expanded with the spread of agriculture from Anatolia 7800 to 9800 years ago.
Professor Gray and Mr Atkinson had analysed thousands of words from 87 languages to find out when the various branches of the Indo-European family tree started diverging.
"We looked at words from different languages that were clearly related and grouped them in sets."
Professor Gray said a simple example was that five was cinq in French and cinque in Italian.
"We built matrices of all our information, gleaned from the internet and every obscure etymological dictionary we could find."
The researchers then used sophisticated computer programs to do the analysis and build language trees.
The length of the resulting branches and their various offshoots showed when each language diverged from its predecessors and developed a separate identity.
Professor Gray said Hittite (an extinct Anatolian language) was the first major language group to branch from the Indo-European trunk.
Over subsequent millenniums the same trunk sprouted Tocharian, Armenian, Greek, Albanian, Iranian, Indic, Slavic, Baltic, Germanic, French/Iberian, Italic and Celtic language groups.
A Marsden Fund grant from the Government and a James Cook Fellowship from the Royal Society of New Zealand helped to pay for the research, which included the equivalent of three solid years of computer time.
