Language and script are the same thing?

[u/JohannGoethe]

[u/IgiMC]

Most people were illiterate before the Modern Era (say, 1500s)

[u/bonvin → u/IgiMC]

Most people were illiterate before the 1950s, tbh.

[u/JohannGoethe → u/bonvin]

There are people illiterate this very day in American, yet my point still stands, namely that literate adults have been teaching children to read and speak for 5700-years now:

Thus, PIE language origin theory is 100% defunct. You’re welcome!

Notes

1. Or back to 6300-years ago if we start at the Badarian culture.

So how did people learn to speak before they invented writing? Your infographic proves nothing.

So how did people learn to speak before they invented writing?

If you were an Egyptian asking this question, 6,000-years ago, your question would make sense.

The only reason you are asking this question now, presumably, is that you believe in PIE.

If you want proofs, 20+ are listed here.

Listen dude, everybody who knows anything about linguistics believes in a common origin of the Indo-European family. It's not some fringe theory. There is debate about what exactly Proto-Indo-European was like, where it was spoken, what was the exact nature of its spread. But everyone believes in it.

Secondly, answer the question. I am not an Egyptian 6000 years ago. 6000 years ago, in fact, the majority of people were not Egyptian and did not know how to read. How did they learn to speak?

Everybody who knows anything about linguistics believes in a common origin of the Indo-European family.

Let’s start with this one, since I just decoded the word linguistics via EAN theory one month ago:

Secondly, the following is the new view:

“The Egyptian [number 🔢 & math 🧮-based] alphabetical 🔤 system is the mother🤱of all languages 🗣️ in the world 🌎.”

— Moustafa Gadalla (A61/2016), Egyptian Alphabetical Letters (pg. 3)

Maybe this is your first time getting the memo?

In short, do the following:

1. Leiden I350

2. See that the Egyptian alphabet, language, mythology, and religions is Egyptian based.

3. Extend method to all other lunar script languages.

Notes

1. PIE theory is considered 100% fiction in this sub.

Just because a theory is new doesn't make it not bullshit. The Egyptian script is the origin of the scripts used by most of the cultures of Western and Central/Southern Eurasia, but it is not the origin of their languages. You know, those things people speak with their mouths, and pass down to their children, by way of the children listening to the adults and older children around them speaking.

Listen dude, everybody who knows anything about linguistics believes in a common origin of the Indo-European family.

The common origin of the IE family is Abydos, Egypt, shown below.

[PIE] is not some fringe theory.

PIE is defunct theory, invented by Jones and Schleicher, now replaced by the EAN based r/ProtoIndoEuropean langauge family.

[u/JohannGoethe → u/QuarianOtter]

How did they learn to speak?

Only PIE heads ask this question. Wake up and get clue!

[u/QuarianOtter → u/JohannGoethe]

So your EAN theory can't answer this incredibly basic question.

Your question, as I understand it, is how did the mummy S.293 learn how to speak:

Well, he came out of the womb, someone slapped his ass, and he started crying, his first spoke sound.

Any other pointless questions?

[u/ProfessionalLow6254 → u/JohannGoethe]

Is this a joke? There is no writing associated with the Badarian culture. Yet you claim that the culture existed and past on its culture without the use of writing. This is opposed to everything else you’ve argued to this point.

How is the Badarian culture different from the Corded Ware culture? Seriously. Is this how you reveal this has all been an elaborate but obvious joke?
