A REVISIT OF THE NAME
"NOSTRATIC"
by
Polat Kaya
In an earlier paper of mine, http://www.storm.ca/~cm-tntr/nostratic.html, written
in Turkish (dated May 1, 2002), I had discussed the etymology of the
word NOSTRATIC and shown that it was related to the Turkish language in many
ways. The so-called proto language NOSTRATIC actually refers to the
Turkish language - without naming it. In this paper, I will revisit the
word NOSTRATIC and add to it with new insight that will bring even more
clarity to this word and its etymology. We will see that despite the
camouflage created by way of anagrammatizing, the word NOSTRATIC is
made up from Turkish words and the so-called proto language "NOSTRATIC" indeed was
the Turkish language.
On the name Nostratic, the following story shown in red is from Wikipedia - a
site which I regard as a good-willed organization that provides base
information on many subjects. For that I thank them. From
Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostratic ,
we have:
"Origin of the Nostratic hypothesis
The last quarter of the 19th century saw various linguists putting forward proposals linking the Indo-European languages to other language families, such asFinno-Ugric and Altaic.[6]
These proposals were taken much farther in 1903 when Holger Pedersen, a major Danish linguist, proposed "Nostratic", a common ancestor for the Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, Samoyed, Turkish, Mongolian, Manchu, Yukaghir, Eskimo, Semitic, and Hamitic languages, with the door left open to the eventual inclusion of others.
The name Nostratic derives from the Latin word nostras, meaning 'our fellow-countryman' (plural: nostrates). Some linguists who broadly accept the concept have criticised the name as reflecting the ethnocentrism frequent among Europeans at the time.[7] Even so, it arguably transcends these associations. Proposed alternative names such as Mitian, formed from the characteristic Nostratic first- and second-person pronouns mi 'I' and ti 'you',[8] have not attained the same currency.
An early supporter was the French linguist Albert Cuny — better known for his role in the development of the laryngeal theory[9] — who published hisRecherches sur le vocalisme, le consonantisme et la formation des racines en « nostratique », ancêtre de l'indo-européen et du chamito-sémitique('Researches on the Vocalism, Consonantism, and Formation of Roots in "Nostratic", Ancestor of Indo-European and Hamito-Semitic') in 1943. Although Cuny enjoyed a high reputation as a linguist, the work was coldly received.
While Pedersen's Nostratic hypothesis did not make much headway in the West, it became quite popular in what was then the Soviet Union. Working independently at first, Vladislav Illich-Svitych and Aharon Dolgopolsky elaborated the first version of the contemporary form of the hypothesis during the 1960s. They expanded it to include additional language families. Illich-Svitych also prepared the first dictionary of the hypothetical language."
It is sad that this Wikipedia entry is full of confusing verbology and
mythology regarding the so-called "NOSTRATIC"
language. They are trying to apply the concocted term "NOSTRATIC"
to a world-wide spoken language that existed in ancient times but did not have
that name. I have already written a paper regarding the name "NOSTRATIC" where
I demonstrated the bogusness of this proposed name. This artificial name NOSTRATIC"
as defined above falsely elevates the present "Indo-European"
and"Semitic" languages to be at par with those ancient people who
spoke that ancient world-wide language. These Indo-Europeans - called
Aryans - such as the gypsy Greeks, Romans and the gypsies of the Babylon and
their other relatives, who infiltrated the Turanian lands in Asia and
"Europe" and fabricated their so-called own languages from that one
ancient language the world spoke, are now trying to concoct a legitimizing base
for their languages which they artificially fabricated from that one world
language. That one mother/father language was the Turkish language of the
ancient Turanian world. This I will show below.
They say that "The name Nostratic derives from the Latin word nostras, meaning 'our
fellow-countryman' (plural: nostrates)."
This is a false claim to which I say the following: Not only is the
so-called "LATIN" language an artificial language fabricated
from Turkish, but so too is the name NOSTRATIC - which is also
made up from a well known Turkish name. This we can see as follows:
a) When the word NOSTRATIC is rearranged
letter-by-letter as "TORCISTAN", it reveals itself
as an anagrammatized, restructured, Romanized and stolen form of the Turkish
name TURKISTAN which everyone knows - and associates with the
Turks. What this means is that this so-called term Nostratic is
a concoction made up from the name Turkistan. In other words,
the name Turkistan has been deliberately stolen by some European linguists. This
shows how cunning and deceptive those linguists were - and how the world is
being taken for a wild goose chase!
TURKISTAN is the homeland of Turkish peoples in Central Asia.
Thus, the term NOSTRATIC is a bogus name which is
fabricated from this Turkish name, rather than being drived from the
so-called LATIN word "NOSTRAS". This is a dishonest etymology
and deceptive linguistics. It is designed to con and
misinform thousands of honest linguists who spend their lives trying to
understand the truth behind so many world languages. This 'sophisticated' and
dishonest "linguistic trick" has been used for thousands of years by
the wanderer groups who not only stole the Turkish language but also prepared a
linguistic base into which they usurped the ancient Turanian Tur/Türk/Oguz
civilization and Turkish state names. By doing this, they not only obliterated
the ancient Turan civilizations from history, they also transferred
"ownership" of those ancient Turanian civilizations to
themselves. Converting the name Turkistan to Nostraticis
a perfect example of this. By anagrammatizing ancient Turkish state names
into some non-Turkish formats, they manufactured state names and labelled them
as "unknown" people - or fictitious "Aryan" and
"Semitic" state names that did not exist before. Thus,
they both obliterated those ancient Turanian civilizationsfrom history and
also they usurped them. For instance, the very ancient and long-lived
Turanian state of MASAR (MISIR) has been conveniently renamed to EGYPT -
meaning GYPSY.
In addition to the name of Turkistan, the madeup name Nostratic also
has a number of other relevant Turkish expressions embedded in it that relate
to the Turkish language and many aspects of the ancient Turkish culture.
Now let us see them:
b) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "ATN-TORCSI", it
reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the Turkish name ATiN-
TURKSI" (ADIN TÜRKÇE) meaning "your name is
Turkish". This identifies the true identity of the so-called
proto-language ofNOSTRATIC as TURKISH from TURKISTAN.
Turkish word AD means "name", ADIN means "your
name", TÜRKÇE means "Turkish".
c) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "TORAN-CIST", it
reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the Turkish
name TURAN-aKISTi (TURAN AGIZDI, TURAN DILIDI) meaning "it
is Turan language, it is Turan words, it is Turkish". This again
clearly says that the name NOSTRATIC is an encrypted representation
of the TURKISH language of ancient TURAN!
The Turkish word TURAN is the name of Central Asia and is the
homelands of Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples. AGIZ means "mouth,
word, language, speech".
d) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "TANRI-OCST", it
reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "TANRI OGUZTu" (TANRI OGUZDU, TANRI O KÖZDÜ) meaning "it
is God OGUZ".
Turkish word TANRI means "God", OGUZ
(OGUZ) is one other "ancestoral name" of
Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples.
e) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "TANRI-COST", it
reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "TANRI KÖZTü" (TANRI ATASHTI, TANRI KÖZDÜ) meaning "God
is fire". This refers to the Sun-God, that is, the GÜN-TANRI of
ancient Turanians.
Turkish word KÖZ means "glowing fire", KÖZDÜ means "it
is glowing fire".
f) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "TANRI-COST", it
reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "TANRI-COSüTü" meaning "it
is God's eye". This refers, first and foremost, to
the SUN (Turkish GÜN). Secondly, it would
refer to the MOON which was also regarded as the "eye" of
the Sky-God in ancient Turanian religion. It is curious that the English
word "eye" which is voiced as "AY" is
the Turkish name AY meaning "moon". Is this coincidence?
Of course not. English, just like all other "indo-European"
languages, is an artificially fabricated language made up from Turkish.
This word "eye" is another evidence of this fact!
Turkish word GÖZ means "eye", GÖZDÜ means "it
is the eye".
g) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "T-CONASTIR",
it reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "aTa-KUNAŞTIR" (ATA GÜNEŞTIR) meaning "Father
is the Sun".
Turkish word ATA means "father", GÜNEŞ
(KUNAŞ )means "sun; sunlight".
h) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "T-CONASTIR",
it reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "uTu-KUNAŞTIR" (UTU GÜNEŞTIR meaning "UTU
(the Turko-Sumerian) Sun-God is the Sun".
i) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "T-CONASTIR",
it reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "aTi-KUNAŞTIR" (ATI GÜNEŞTIR) meaning "Its
name is Sun".
Turkish word GÜNEŞ (GÜN + IŞI) means "sun;
sunlight".
j) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "T-CONASTIR",
it reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "aTi-KONUŞTIR" (ATI KONUŞTIR) meaning "Its
name is speech, its name is language".
Turkish word KONUŞ (GONUŞ)
means "word, speech; speak, say".
k) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "T-CANOSTIR",
it reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "aTi-KANUŞTIR" (ATI GANUŞTIR) meaning "Its
name is understanding, its name is learning, its name is schooling".
Turkish word KANUŞ (GANUŞ, KANIŞ)
means "understanding".
l) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "T-CONASTIR",
it reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "aTi-oKUNUŞTIR" (ADI OKUNUŞTIR) meaning "its
name is reading, writing, going to school; its name is learning; its name is
acquiring knowledge".
Turkish word OKU means "study; learn; read,
write", OKUNUŞ means "reading;
being read".
m) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "COR-AN-T-IST",
it reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "KOR-AN-DeIŞTi" (GÖK KORu
DEYIŞTIR, GÜNEŞ DEYIŞIDIR, GUNEŞ DILIDIR" - meaning "It
is the Sun Language" - which is Turkish! Of course we
also see that the Turkish KOR AN" meaning "the fire of Sky",
that is, the Sun, is also the same as the so-called "Arabic" name KUR'ANwhich
is the name of the Islamic "Holy Book".
Is this a coincidence? Not likely!
Turkish word KOR means "glowing fire", AN means "sky;
time; ancient Turkish plurality suffix", GÖK KORu means "sky
fire, sun".
n) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "ATIN-COSTR", it
reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "ADIN GÖZDÜR" meaning "your
name is eye". This refers to the Human "Eye"
as well as the eyes of all animals. The EYE (GÖZ) sees
all things that are lit up by the sun rays and transfers that information to
the human brain to be evaluated for the purpose of survival and acumulation of
knowledge, and for the betterment of life which is done all by the human brain
- which is a "god" or "creator" itself. Thus the EYE
is the most powerful knowledge source for the brain.
o) When the word NOSTRATIC is
rearranged letter-by-letter as "ATIN-COSTR", it
reveals itself as an anagrammatized and Romanized form of the
Turkish name "ADIN SÖZDÜR" meaning "your
name is word". This is so, because the so-called
"Latin" letter C is not only vocalized as "K" but also as
"S" many times. So it is a multi-identity letter in the
so-called "Indo-European" languages. Some letters have
multiple-identities in Indo-European languages because it is very convenient
and useful in covering up the Turkish identity of the source linguistic
material used to make up the words. The IE letter C is one of
these. See the vocalization of the English word ACCESS - where the first
C is pronounced as a K while the second C is pronounced as an S.
Turkish word SÖZ means "word, phrase,
speech".
It must be noted that all of these deciphered meanings contained in the name
NOSTRATIC are also present in the name TURKISTAN.
There may be some more relevant and meaningful Turkish expressions embedded in
the name NOSTRATIC, that is, TURKISTAN - waiting
to be deciphered. I believe the ones given in this paper should
suffice to demonstrate to everyone that Nostratic is an
anagrammatized form of the Turkish word Turkistan - and many
other related Turkish expressions. All of this information found in one
word is possible only with Turkish!
***
Thus, the so-called proto-language that linguists have
conveniently labelled NOSTRATIC, was secretly referring to the Turkish language
of the ancient Turanian Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples. With such a powerful and
systematic agglutinative language, the ancient Turanians gave many forms of
civilization to the people of the world - which has been enjoyed to this day -
without being recognized. For instance, language, reading, writing,
alphabet, schooling, learning - to name a few. Those linguists who
concocted the term "NOSTRATIC" were simply usurping the glory of the
ancient Turanian Turkish language and civilization with one hand and
intentionally obliterating them with the other.
In the above citing from Wikipedia, it says that the proposed "Nostratic"
is a common ancestor for the Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, Samoyed, Turkish, Mongolian,
Manchu, Yukaghir, Eskimo, Semitic, and Hamitic languages, with the door left
open to the eventual inclusion of others. In this list of
languages, Finno-Ugric, Mongolian, Manchu, Yukaghir, Eskimo are all
presently Turkish related languages.
The term Hamitic languages include the so-called "Mizraim",
that is, the language of the ancient Turanian Masar (Misir) usurped under
the name "Egypt" meaning "gypsy", the language of Canaanites,
Cushites and Tuaregs (Berbers). They were dialects of Turkish. This
is evident from many entries found in the dictionary titled "An
Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary" by E. A. Wallis
Budge. The presence of ancient Turkish speaking Turanians in the Middle
East and in ancient Masar (Misir) enabled them to spread their language and
civilization throughout this geography. The people of these ancient countries
were Turkish speaking Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples. The Hamitic languages are
also called "Caucasian race" which makes them
Turanian. In addition to these, we must also mention that the Sumerian,
Elam and Mede of ancient Iran, Anatolian, Etruscan, Thracian and Pelasgian
(Saka Türkleri) languages were all dialects of the same Turkish language.
The name Canaan is the distorted and Semitized form of the Turkish name KÜNHAN
(GÜNHAN) meaning "Sun Lord", that is, the name of
one of the six sons of OGUZ KAGAN. Of course among these people are the famed
Phoenicians, Palestinians (the Saka Sea People), the Hurrians, Urartus, Kassites,
Mitannis, the Turians (the ancient name of Turia has been replaced by the
present name Syria (Suria) by changing T to S) and others.
Actually, the Saka Turks (Iskitler) covered a vast geography extending from the
Sakhalin islands (which is drived from the name SAKA) in the East to Scotland
(Scotia, that is, Iskit Öy / Saka Öy) in the west.
The name "Cushite" comes from the Turkish word "koch"
(kosh, koç) meaning "ram"- which was their
logo. The suffix "-ite" at the and of the name
"Cush-ite", is the distorted form of the Turkish suffix "idi,
iti" meaning "it is". This is also the
case for all other English names that include this suffix.
As for the other ones, that is, the so-called Indo-European (Aryan (Arayan))
and the Semitic languages - I have repeatedly stated that they are
languages manufactured from Turkish by way of anagrammatizing Turkish words and
expressions. I have given many examples demonstrating this fact.
And because these languages were fabricated from the Turkish language, Turkish
becomes an ancestor language to them as well.
Thus, Turkish was the most widely used language in the ancient world. It is no
wonder that GENESIS 11 mentions that they all spoke one world language. This
was so before it was intentionally confused by Jehova believers and Aryans
(Arayans).
Judeo-Christianity usurped every religious concept from the ancient Turanian
world-wide religion of the SKY-GOD, SUN-GOD and Moon-GOD, that is, GÖK-TANRI,
GÜN-TANRI and AY-TANRI in Turkish. After they invented
Judeo-Christianity, those who got converted by force and by sneaky ways into
these religions, also got their Turkish language and Turkish identity
changed into alienated forms. Their language was replaced by the
artificially fabricated, so-called, Indo-European and Semitic languages - which
were anagrammatized into different formats by the invisible hands of these
religious organizations.
Now, by way of more deceptions, they are trying to create an
appearance of antiquity and authenticity to these artificially fabricated
languages (called "Indo-European and Semitic" languages) by
concocting an Indo-European sounding name of "NOSTRATIC" as the
ancestor language. Yet in this paper, I have clearly shown that NOSTRATIC is
an anagrammatized form of the Turkish word TURKISTAN. It
is about time that linguists abandon this linguistic fraud and deception that
has been perpetrated since, at least, the time of the Akkadians, and admit the
fact that Turkish was that language which is regarded as the ancestor language
for all these languages.
Best wishes to all,
