a, the first letter



A, a

Very first letter in all European languages



Origin

a is the first letter in all Indian languages. All have one case.

A, a is the first letter in Russian. It has upper and lower cases.



The Transition

From Indian a to Arabic alif (1700 B.C), Hebrew aleph (circa 1700 B.C), Phoenician aleph (1600 B.C) and Greek Alpha (800 B.C)

back to Roman and English A, a



Indian spoken sounds are tens of thousands of years old. Their age is based on the cave art and paintings at Altamira, Fort de Gaume, Les Trois Freres and Lascaux near the Pyrenees Mountains and Willendorf in Austria. Some of the findings at Lascaux Cave have been Carbon-14 dated to be 15,000 years old. Carbon-14 method is good for determining age upto70, 000 years.



Pyrenees Mountains are located in Western Europe between France and Spain. Basque people speaking an ancient language called euskara, French and Spaniards live in the vicinity of these mountains. We will show that all the above languages, euskara, Spanish and French have origins in India. Most linguists call euskara an ‘isolate’ language meaning that it is not related to any language on our earth. That is because they never looked at Indian languages.

Word Origins

Dedicated to finding real origins of words in several languages

Introduction
We have published two books, ' One People One Language" and “Real Roots of German, Greek, Latin & English-Mini Word Origin Directory” to clean up the behemoth linguistic morass created by ignorant linguists and their minions.
Please learn about this morass at

So we have created this blog to clean up this behemoth linguistic morass.
For today that’s enough. Soon we will start with expansions and excerpts from our 2nd book, starting with the origins of letters starting with A. Eventually we will end up with letters starting with Z.
Let’s have fun.
