Languages of Eurasia. The people of Eurasia: their diversity and languages. How the languages of the peoples of Eurasia developed
This invention relates to a new Eurasian world and alphabet and language. can be used everywhere all over the world for free international, interethnic and interstate communication between all people around the world. The most important characteristic of any language is the alphabet and grammar. But there is nothing more conservative in the world than the alphabet. On the one hand, this allows you to preserve the originality of the language and the nation, and on the other hand, it is a brake on its development and even the death of both the language and the nation. Therefore, in modern conditions Russian should be divided into two languages: into Russian proper for the Russian nation and into the Eurasian language for the Eurasian nation and for interethnic communication.
The Eurasians have no right to touch the sovereign Russian language and even more so the sovereign Russian nation. This is the sovereign right of the Russians. And with the Eurasian language, Eurasians can begin to do whatever is necessary so that this language becomes not only their national language, but also an international language. This is their Eurasian law. And it is necessary to improve the Eurasian language from the alphabet. But what is the alphabet? The alphabet is a graphic, written representation of speech sounds. Different alphabets appeared in different ways. For example, the English alphabet appeared as a result of careless selection, substitution, and manipulation in the British Isles - this then back street of the Roman Empire - to the sounds of the Anglo-Saxon speech of the Latin letters of the Latin speech of the Roman Empire. Where there were not enough letters, combinations of two, three or more famous Latin letters were used.
As a result English language from an alphabetical, graphic, writing point of view, it has become one of the most carelessly complex languages, when one is written (depicted), and sometimes quite another is read (pronounced). So for studying and mastering English, American and any other language with the Latin alphabet, Need to know not only the actual alphabet of this language, but also another alphabet-translator ( its transcription- pronunciation is also a combination of various letters). And since in each language there is a great variety of different sounds (adverbs), then there are also a great variety of different combinations of various Latin letters to reflect these varieties. A letters in Latin few. And those that are often duplicate each other, which confuses the Latin alphabet and all its languages to the Chinese literacy in antediluvian hieroglyphs. And now because of this "negligence" of the compilers of the English alphabet and the conservatism of the British, almost half of the people are forced to "suffer with the letters", reading English, American and any Latin text.
Cyril and Methodius, when compiling the Russian alphabet, took into account the "negligence" of the compilers of the English alphabet and went differently, as always in Russia, their own way. Where there was a lack of Greek-Latin letters to designate Russian sounds, they invented and added new ones, even "superfluous" ones. As a result, now in the Russian alphabet there were even more letters than necessary, and in the English - less than necessary... If you throw out the extra letters from the Russian-Eurasian alphabet, and add the missing ones to the Anglo-American alphabet, then you may well get a very good universal American-Eurasian alphabet and language. But today this issue is not yet acute on the agenda. This is a question for the future, perhaps for the near future.
But today it is quite possible to put on the agenda of literary scholars the issue of creating a Eurasian alphabet, which can be obtained simply by “throwing out” from the Russian alphabet letters that are superfluous for the Eurasian language. And this should be done not in a revolutionary way, but in an evolutionary way, i.e. gradually, as in the Eurasian bookpack "Truth", where the letter "ё" has already been "thrown out" quite painlessly, which has long become optional, that is, optional, and the letter "ъ", the function of which is performed by a soft sign. You can "throw out" and the letter "Щ", replacing this sound with a natural combination of two letters "ШЧ".
And in order to more clearly distinguish "I" from "Y", the Russian letter "Y" can be replaced with the Belarusian 4 times shorter letter "I", the Letters "I", "E", "Y", "E" can also be discard and replace them with natural combinations of two letters: I = IA, E = IE, Yu = IU, E = IO. Then 7 vowels will remain in the Eurasian alphabet: A, O, U, E, I, I, S- a sacred seven-sounding number !, as well as 7 basic notes in music. The letter "I" (as a personal pronoun) can be left in the Eurasian alphabet. Then the Eurasian alphabet will consist of 28 letters: A, B, C, D, D, F, Z, I, I, K, L, M, H, O, P, R, S, T, L, U, F , Х, Ц, Ч, Ш, Y, E, Y. And the Eurasian language will sound “like music” and will shine with all the basic colors of the rainbow, which are also 7: red, brown, yellow, green, blue, blue, violet.
Further "modernization" of the Eurasian alphabet can be carried out by replacing identical-sounding Eurasian letters with Latin ones and by adding Eurasian letters to the American alphabet instead of multi-letter combinations. But this one the process must take place simultaneously and consistently with the same modernization and the American alphabet in the United States, approximately, as arms reduction rather than a one-sided concession. For example, the Russian "C" can be replaced with the Latin "S", the Russian "C" - with the Latin "C", but provided that their NATO countries are multistage, like a rocket, letter combinations "sch", "tio", "Schtch" (Schtchel - Shchel and their other heaps of letters) will be replaced by simple and even graceful Russian letters "ш", "Щ", etc.
At the same time, the English language in England and the Russian language in Russia must be conservatively left intact, as a relic, as the linguistic gene pool of mankind, and the rapprochement is carried out by the international American and Eurasian languages. Changing the graphic image of the same sound in the alphabet does not "spoil" or even infringe on the originality, sovereignty and uniqueness of the national and even more so the new Eurasian or American language. The main thing in such modernization of the alphabet is that it does not deform or distort the national spirit, flavor and sound of the national language. Also can be easily and efficiently upgraded and any other, incl. and the Tatar alphabet and language, once and for all, putting in its basis the universal interethnic Ivily-Eurasianism proposed here instead of the constant shuffling between the Arabian, Cyrillic, Karelian, and now also the "careless" Anglo-Latin alphabet, the Tourette or some other foreign and unnecessary overseas "Papuan" ".
“... And the Lord came down to see (in Valilon). And he said, Behold, there is one people, and they all have one language; and this is what they began to do, and do not leave behind ...; let us go down and confuse their language there so that one does not understand the other ... ”(Genesis of Moses, verse 11). What came out of this "Babylonian pandemonium" is known to everyone. What came out of the sovereignty "pandemonium" in the USSR is now also known to everyone. ... Until then literary scholars, literary scholars and politicians will break their brains and spears over the Eurasian alphabet, the role of the Eurasian language, as a language of both interethnic and world communication, is quite can also be performed in Russian in all its purity and beauty.
The Eurasian language is the international expressiveness, universality and strength of the Russian, efficiency of English, liveliness of French, strength of German, tenderness of Italian, richness of Greek, spirituality of Latin, brevity of Turkic languages, power of Indo-Arabic numerals and Sanskrit ... Therefore, one cannot fail to see that such a language was not given to the great Eurasian people !. And to all other Eurasian nations and peoples for their interethnic communication, treatment, attention and complete understanding among themselves.

Leon Iva - author of the Eurasian alphabet and language
The peoples of Eurasia make up almost three quarters of the total population of the earth. The mainland is home to a large number of different ethnic groups that differ in appearance, mentality, culture and language.
Each people of Eurasia belongs to a certain language family, which, in turn, is divided into groups. The speech of every nation in the family is similar and comes from one common proto-language. Languages in the same group sometimes differ only in pronunciation or spelling.
Most languages were formed geographically. This explains the fact that different peoples of Eurasia have practically the same or similar speech. There is a hypothesis that ancient people developed their speech by listening to the sounds of the living nature of the area, and therefore some languages are very similar to the sounds that animals make.
Classification of languages of the peoples of Eurasia
To date, 7 language families have been recorded, which unite all languages and dialects of peoples living on the mainland. Each of these families is divided into language groups of the peoples of Eurasia. There are 17 of them.
All languages are divided into:
1. Indo-European family:
- Slavic group (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Polish, Czech and Bulgarian);
- German group (English, German, Norwegian and Swedish);
- Baltic group (Lithuanian and Latvian);
- Romance group (Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian);
- Celtic group (Irish);
- Greek group (Greek);
- Iranian group (Tajik, Afghan and Ossetian);
- Indo-Aryan group (Hindustan and Nepali);
- Armenian group (Armenian);
2.Kartvelian family (Georgian).
3.Aphrasian family:
- Semitic group (Arabic);
4. Ural-Yukogir family:
- Finno-Ugric group (Hungarian, Estonian and Finnish);
5. Altai family:
- Turkic group (Turkish, Kazakh and Kyrgyz);
- Mongolian group (Mongolian and Buryat);
- Japanese group (Japanese);
- Korean group (Korean);
6. Sino-Tibetan family (Chinese);
7.North Caucasian family:
- Abkhaz-Adyghe group (Abkhaz and Adyghe);
- Nakh-Dagestan group (Chechen).
How did the languages of the peoples of Eurasia develop?
The most ancient civilizations were created and developed on the mainland of Eurasia: India, China and Mesopotamia. They gave development to all other peoples, their states, culture, traditions and speech.
It did not stop, but people settled, mastering new lands, coming up with new words and expressions. This is how language groups appeared, and then families. Each people of Eurasia developed the already existing speech in its own way. People living in different places started calling the same things by different names. So dialects appeared, which then turned into full-fledged ones. Linguists divided all languages into families and groups for easier study.
Indo-European language family
The largest language family in the world is the Indo-European family. Many peoples of Eurasia speak these languages.
This language family owes such popularity to the conquerors and discoverers. Indo-European languages were born in Eurasia, and it is considered the homeland of all mankind on a par with Africa. People conquered new territories and captured the indigenous peoples of other continents, then imposed their culture and language on them. Each people of Eurasia of that time tried to subjugate more territories and people. Many scholars associate such a wide spread of the Spanish, English and Russian languages precisely with historical events.
What is the difference between Chinese and Japanese?
A common mistake many people make is to count Chinese and Japanese languages similar or nearly the same. These two languages are not just in different language families. People living in Japan and China are completely different, although they belong to the same race. Each of these countries is a separate people of Eurasia with its own culture and language.
If the hieroglyphs themselves, which are written in these countries, are difficult enough to distinguish, this does not mean that the languages are the same. Their first difference is that the Japanese write vertically, while the Chinese write horizontally.
By ear, Japanese speech is much rougher than Chinese. The Chinese language is filled with soft sounds. Japanese speech is sharper. A deeper study will show that the words in these languages are different, as well as grammar and other rules.
Slavic languages
Slavic languages are a linguistic group of the Indo-European family. These languages are very similar. Native speakers of Slavic languages can often understand each other almost without difficulty, while speaking in different languages. This is especially true for Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian speech.
They began to develop with the emergence of the first Slavic tribes. Each tribe used its own dialect. The greater the distance between them, the more differences appeared in speech.
All Slavic languages are divided into eastern, western and southern. This division takes place territorially, as well as the division of tribes.
Of the other representatives of the Indo-European language family, the Baltic group is the closest to the Slavic one. Many scholars explain this by long-term communication between representatives of these tribes.
Peoples living on the continent
In fact, there are a lot of peoples living on the mainland, but if you generalize, then conditionally they can be divided by race into 2 groups: Caucasoid and Mongoloid. And these groups, in turn, are divided into subgroups.
Caucasian race, consisting of the following groups:
- Slavic;
- Baltic;
- Germanic;
- Greek;
- Armenian;
- Finno-Ugric.
Mongoloid race:
- Turkic;
- Mongolian;
- Korean;
- Japanese;
- Chukotka-Kamchatka;
- Sino-Tibetan.
Of course, many more ethnic groups and tribes live on the territory of Eurasia.
Peoples of Eurasia: countries
Perhaps, within the framework of a single article, it is impossible to list all the countries of the continent, because there are about 99 of them! But it is worth mentioning the largest of them. Probably everyone knows that the largest state on the mainland is Russia. It is impossible not to mention India and China, the countries with the highest population density.
As for the smallest states, they are mainly located in the western territories of the mainland. For example, unique public education considered the Vatican. The list of dwarf countries includes Liechtenstein, Andorra, Luxembourg and Monaco. The smallest states in Asia are Brunei, Maldives and Bahrain.
Eurasia is considered the most colorful continent of the planet, of course! Its territory is occupied by 3/4 of the world's population with different skin colors, their own culture and traditions.
The following 5 families are conventionally called "Paleoasian languages" (non-genetic association):
- Chukchi-Kamchatka family (5), including: Chukchi language, Koryak language, Itelmen language, etc.
- Nivkh language (isolate) (1)
- Sino-Tibetan family (363), including Chinese, or a group of languages
- Austroasian superfamily
- Austro-Asian family proper (163), including Vietnamese
- Austronesian Superfamily (1268)
- Tyrrhenian family (2) † (incl.Etruscan language)
- Sumerian language isolate † (1)
- Elamite (isolate) † (1)
- Unclassified languages (12), including Iberian †, Cypriot-Minoan †, Eteocritian †, Hutt †, Kassite †, and other relict languages of Western Eurasia.
