Japanetics - Dynamic Japanese Language Learning

日 This is the Kanji for the word, Sun. Words that use radicals1 containg this ji2 日are related to or usually have something to do with things of the sun, bright things, things that give off light, things that glow. Do you get the point? Japanese isn't that difficult to read, but it is our predisposition to believe that it is so that is why we fail before we even try. We look at the mess of Kanji or the Hieroglyphs and cower in self stupidity. If someone could just show others as I had learned on my own. The learning of another language wouldn't be such a daunting or formidable task. having in someway a connection with the light, bright etc. These words too have also have the kanji hi in them.
There seems to be so much more meaning contained in an ideograph than do letters that represent sounds that together represent meaning. Here is one example of a kanji that looks fairly difficult. This kanji is made in 9 strokes of the pen and after learning that 日means the sun, or signifies words related to the sun then we could make a fairly good estimate at what this next kanji means . 星 has the sun kanji in it as well as the kanji for the word birth, or to give life to. 生 is the kanji sei which means depending on tense of the word, life. In its future use tense this it contains one other syllable mu む、Put 生and mu or む together and you have Umu or in Japanese 生む which according to Sanseido's Daily Concise Japanese- English Dictionary means 1. to bear a child, to give birth to a baby. 2 to lay eggs or spawn.(49) Now before reading the answer on pg 8 take an educated guess at what the meaning is. Think or ponder for a second how these two kanji put together make a different yet totally logical word out of two other words. Just like Englishes prefixes and suffixes in words like lithograph, literally stone write, or engraving . The words birth of something and the word hi fused together make the word star. Now next time you see a couple of kanji just take a guess, your chances of being right are better than 50%.
Better than 50% chance is usually all that linguists worry about when trying to find the similarities of language. if you can guess more than 50% of the words given some system like the above then the language is said to be related to your own family of languages.
There are 6 main language families from whence all other languages stem. These are the Indo-Eurasiatic, the Urallic, the Anuit eskimo, and the ..
Since it has never been proven that there was once an all powerful mighty mother tongue, that gave birth to all the languages the world now utilizes (what is otherwise called the nostratic tongue), I have a hunch that there was such a mother tongue.
The languages of the world appear vastly different, and it is true that we are confounded by them, one culture are confounded by the words of another. You have heard at least once in your life the expression, “ Its all Greek to me”. How could I prove the existence of this nostratic tongue. The proof is difficult because the medium through which language has evolved has never been permanent. When the world passes away who would know? There is no evidence of the mother tongue, neither are there any ever lasting writings or digital recordings of any ancient civiliazation that we now have in our museums that sow us hey, look we all at one time back in the day, we used the same language.
I would like to show my belief in the ancestry of languages coming from only one source. And back into that same source we will go. One thing we can say for fact is that there were less people. That is fairly obvious. Therefore on that assumption, we can assume that there were less languages than there are now. Can we deduce that less people = less language counts …? I say it further as f(x) Can't we further say then that the further back we go there were still less and less people.Therefore as x ( the number of people on the earth at any certain time) approaches 2, y =1. Because there is no communication without two person. There isn't much need for a language if there is nobody to communicate with. From 2 people perhaps came 16 others, children of those 2 people therefore now it is possible to start having different languages.
