ROMANIAN the closest to CLASSICAL LATIN

Georgero   Sat Apr 01, 2006 11:42 am GMT
The actual Bulgarian language has a lot in common with Romanian. In years about 1000, Romanians and Bulgarians had the same state. The Eastern Roman emperor called it The Empire of Vlacho-Bulgarians, recognising for a sort period of time as Emperor the rebel Ioan Asen, a Vlach dude and naming him a defender of Orthodox Christian cause. In fact, Romanians have much to do with the Eastern Roman Empire than with the Western one. And, in despite of Byzantines, they kept a form of a Latin language as their language, while the Eastern Empire switched to Greek one. Also, Bulgarians introduced the official religion texts and forced Romanian to use Slavic words for an institutionalised church. Regarding this, the so-called re-latinization of Romanian language from XIX century was, actually, a "restituito in integrum" act, regarding the Romance language of Romanians

Sicily and southern Italy was largely inhabited by the Arabs, later colonised by the Greeks forming Magna Graecia "Greater Greece" and the north was inhabited by the native Etruscans, Sabines and the Samnites. The origin of the Romans is much disputed, but one thing is for sure, they were a mixture of tribes located in the mainland Europe and not the Italic peninsula. While the Greeks, Thracians including Dacians, are native Balkans, one of the first group of people that settle foot in Europe through the Balkan corridor from Africa. The Romans were a mixture of Mediterranean cultures heavily influenced by the Greeks. They settled in Rome enslaving the Sardinian and the peninsular Etruscan population, the Greeks and mainly Arabs.

The Hellenic culture was far more superior, and the Greeks slaves were not used for labor, but rather intellectual machineries – much more like a PC. ( a personal computer slave) Educators, scribes, translators, etc. And the Thracians were mostly gladiators – Spartacus was one of them. The Latin alphabet was influenced by the Greek alphabet, and the Latin language contains many words of Greek origin.

After the barbarian invasion, the Romans in 395 abandoned Rome and moved to Constantinople or the New Rome, capital of Romania- the Byzantine empire. (ΡΩΜΑΝΙΑ or ΡΩΜΑΙΩΝ in Greek) Than Italy was ruled by the Barbarian kings for 700 years.

The Holy Roman Empire was a pathetic attempt to resurrect the Western Roman Empire in western Europe, which was established in 800by the Pope LeoIII

The Holy Roman Empire (including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Italy, etc) was "neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire". Voltaire said.

Later on Italy was ruled by the Pope – and the infamous catholic inquisition until the liberation of Italy by Napoleon.

No, they migrated from the ido-aryan walley too as latin people.theyweren't autoctonous inhabitants of balkan.

Again no, the romans didn't moved to greece, simply they lived under a costant siegetill 475. when the last roman emperor romulus august was deposed. The latin people didn't shift from italy or western europe to eastern one, simply they included their barbarian invasors, the barbars soon adopted a latin language and latin culture because was superiorto their native one.
<<< origin of the Romans is much disputed, but one thing is for sure, they were a mixture of tribes located in the mainland Europe and not the Italic peninsula<<<
Yes but when they inhabited mainlad europe they were called indo-european, they spoke and indoeuropean dialect, their culture developed from the indoeuropean in italy, what do you think? they spoke latin in mainlandeurope?

S.P.Q.R are you from Calabria?

"Sicily and southern Italy was largely inhabited by the Arabs,"

What Arabs? They didn't exist at that time. What you lack to understand is the ppls ethnic back round is decide by their culture. Not were their ancestors come from. For example, here in the Undited States there are a lot of ppl with last names beginning with MC or Mac, which would lead you to belive that they are Irish or Scottish decent. Now their great grandparents may have come from Irland or Scottland, but they my not be. They may not pratice in any of their ancestors rituals. So what would make them Scottish or Irish? Nothing, they would be Americans( I know what horrable thing).

AN AMAZING DISCOVERY IN 1961 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE NEOLITHIC ROMANIA – 5.000 years before JESUS CHRIST

Did any one of you ever heard of the NEOLITHIC (Stone age) ROMANIAN - TARTARIA TABLETS ? The oldest WRITING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD discovered so far ? (1000 years older than the Mesopotamian writings!!!)

It was dated with CARBON 14 by the American, and International scientists from all over the world. It is a perplexing mystery...

Here is the encyclopedic article in several languages:

http://www.prehistory.it/ftp/tartaria_tablets/tartaria_tablets_01.htm
(My dear Italian “SPQR” – here is an ITALIAN SITE ( in English ) even having your nickname’s initials SPQR) by Marco Merlini

The three ROMANIAN Tărtăria tablets are probably amulets or votive tablets, which bear incised symbols that are claimed to be the EARLIEST KNOWN FORM OF WRITING IN THE WORLD. The tablets are named after Tărtăria-Alba County, -Transylvania -Romania, where they WERE FOUND.
____________________________________________________________________
IN FRENCH (ROMANIAN TARTARIA 4500 avant JC )

Petite localité au centre de la Roumanie, lieu d'une découverte exceptionnelle, dont la signification reste encore un mystère.

« Plus tard, on va établir par datation au carbone 14 en Russie et Italie, qu'elles pourraient avoir jusqu'à 1000 ans de plus que les tables de Sumer (entre 4500 et 5000 avant JC). La période historique placent ces découvertes comme appartenant à la civilisation Vinča.

Comparaison avec la Mésopotamie

Des savants russes, américains, bulgares et britanniques suggèrent que le peuple de Sumer a émigré vers l'Orient à partir de l'espace carpato-danubien, ce qui pourrait expliquer les différences surprenantes entre les Sumériens et leurs voisins sémites.
Voici le nom traditionnel des villes voisines de la découverte:

• Tartaria
• Urastie
• Simeria
• Kugir

________________________________________________________
IN SPANISH- "Tableta circular con signos incisos, interpretada como una forma de protoescritura, del emplazamiento arqueológico de Tartaria (Rumania), c. 5000 aC."

“El descubrimiento de tablillas escritas en Tartaria (Rumanía) ha puesto en cuarentena las presunciones vigentes en relación al emplazamiento y la datación del origen de la civilización.”
______________________________________________________

SUMERIAN TOWNS IN ROMANIA

Tartaria
Urastie
Simeria
Kugir

Carpato-Danubiano-Pontic = (carpathians mountains+Danube river +pontus = black sea-in greek) is where modern Romania is located where the oldest form of writing system in the world was discovered.

Brennus – I know you are interested in history – check this out :

Tartaria Tablets in Romania
What explanation can be given to the fact that three clay tablets
containing Sumerian pictographs made with local Romanian clay, (dated with carbon 14 by American scientist) but 1000 years
older than the oldest cuneiform tablets found in Mesopotamia (Mesopotamia is an ancient country located in Asia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in present day Iraq) are found in a ROMANIAN region where the surrounding cities have Sumerian names:

1.URASTIE, Sumerian name (Romanian town named ORASTIE )

2.SIMERIA (Romanian town ) deriving from SUMER - SUMERIA (Latin)

3.KUGIR (Sumerian name) – Romanian CUGIR

Carpato-Danubiano-Pontic = (carpathians mountains+Danube river +pontus = black sea-in Greek) is where modern Romania is located - where the oldest form of writing system in the world was discovered so far… not in Egypt !

Civilizatia incepe la Sumerieni ! Nu la Romani !

"Above: Undeciphered writing on the Tartaria tablet, found in Tartaria, RUMANIA and dated at 4500 BC - this competes with the Azilian script for the claim to the OLDEST WRITING ON EARTH !"

As already mentioned, the human remains which accompanied the TARTARIA tablets are still preserved in Cluj (ROMANIA) in the basement of the National History Museum of Transylvania. The result of the C14 (CARBON 14) analysis made by the Laboratory of the Department "Scienze della Terra" of La Sapienza University for the Prehistory Knowledge Project (IN ITALY) is the following: Rome - 1631 (human bones): 6310 ± 65 yr BP (calibrated 5370-5140 BC)


5370-5140 BC BEFORE CHRIST !

I would say without an doubt in my mind, that the "BASQUE" people of Spain/France are the original "europeans;" and considered one of the oldest spoken language in europe et al. And not to mentioned their Skeleton composition is diferent from us in minor ways: and have the highest percentage of Rh negative blood (type o) at 35% (their perhaps the oldest people in this world as recongized by scientists...also considered the oldest EUROPEANS and oldest type of language etc.)

The first Dacians tribes arrived in Carpathian-Danubio area in about 1000 B.C., perhaps 400-500 years after the Greeks arrived, as part of first indo-european migration. These people could somehow be related with sumerians and sanscrite people, due to remainance of sanscrite and Sumerian words in Romanian language. There could also be a possibility for these guys to keep some old artefacts with them, a kind of tothems which indeed had an ancient form of writing. But still, the idea of Balkans being the "ombilico del mondo" sounds a bit funny. And we already know that there are some others nationalities in Balkans, claiming weird and hillarious historical facts like they were the oldest and even the conquerers of antic world. But that's another subject.
Sorin   Sun Apr 02, 2006 5:42 pm GMT
>But still, the idea of Balkans being the "ombilico del mondo" sounds a bit funny.<

Well, the Balkans - from Ancient Greece -already is the "the European umbilicus" the oldest and the MOST ADVANCED European civilization, highly developed social, cultural, philosophical, and economic structure, etc. everybody knows that...The Romans were little boys compared with the TITAN Greeks living in the Balkans.

And it is not funny at all! It’s rather a headache an Inexplicable Black-Hole for the prehistoric scientists and linguists from all over the world. And remember this discovery was made only 40 years ago! All the scientists agree about being the oldest form of writing discovered so far. Dated with carbon 14 confirmed of being 1000 older than the Sumerian cuneiforms and Egyptian hieroglyphs!

>There could also be a possibility for these guys to keep some old artefacts with them<

Everybody assumed they were imported by the Sumerians that moved to Ancient Romania. But is the other way around, they were made from local Pre-Romanian Clay. (they were not imported -it was scientifically confirmed ). Besides some scientists don’t believe they are Sumerian at all...and the writings are undecipherable.

The problem is, some scientists don’t know if is SUMERIAN writing or just NATIVE DANUBIAN writing. The scientists can’t classify it yet. But not coincidentally the Tartaria Tablets were made from LOCAL clay (they were not imported), and found in a Romanian region where all the towns have Sumerian names. (SIMERIA, CUGIR, TARTARIA, ORASTIE)

The scientists did their job very well, they dated the Tartaria tablets with carbon 14 (A formula to calculate by carbon-14 dating :

t = [ ln (Nf/No) / (-0.693) ] x t1/2
So, if you had a fossil that had 10 percent carbon-14 compared to a living sample, then that fossil would be: t = [ ln (0.10) / (-0.693) ] x 5,700 years. calibrated at 5370-5140 BC.

NATIVE DANUBIAN or SUMERIAN, the TARTARIA TABLETS (found in Romania) are the oldest form of writing discovered on Earth so far. Not the Sumerian cuneiforms or the Egyptian hieroglyphs! I think that’s pretty scary, perplexing and not funny at all! Well, at least not funny for the scientists.

Here's a possible and astonishing relation. Quite unbelievable to me.

The word "water", "aqua", is in Romanian "apa". In Sanscrite is absolutely identical: APA. I didn't know that. And it looks like some other Romanian words are similar or even identical with Sanscrite ones.
Regarding the informations of this book, even the numbers are almost identical.
Romanian: unu-1, doi-2, trei-3, patru-4, cinci-5, şase-6, şapte-7, opt-8, nouă-9, zece-10, o sută-100.
Sanscrite: una, duya, treya, patra, pancia, sase, sapta, ashte, nava, dasha, shata.
If I use the feminine genre of the numerals or the ordinal form, they get bloody identical. For example: una, treia, patra, şaptea and so on. This is amazing.
i know there is a theory that considers Dacian language as being very closed to Latin. And there are some texts suggesting that Roman could understand with Dacians without needing a translator. But I never payed attention to such a teory since now. But these similarities are just confusing me.
Maybe someone could confirm if those number in Sanscrite are correct.
