I want to conclude this section by posing two questions. How many letters are there in the alphabets of the native languages of Indologists? And what is the significance of the number of letters?
The three above-mentioned languages have one feature in common with Devanagari. Even in the shortest words, syllables are arranged according to a single strict rule. And this fact is extremely important. Root syllables, roots are close to words (i.e., similar to words), in another syllable, stand before or after, or on both sides. Thus, the meaning of the "root-syllable" changes; the reason for this lies in word construction. It is impossible to understand a word without knowing the meaning of a syllable, its various combinations, and the grammar rules. It also happens that two identical words have different meanings, depending on what part of the sentence they are in and what the whole sentence means! The meaning of the entire sentence depends on the meaning of the paragraph, and the meaning of the paragraph depends on the meaning of the whole passage (I encountered something similar when translating the most ancient Latvian dainas - sacred songs - into Russian - Translator's note). Therefore, there are no dictionaries of this language. But there are books on grammar. How root syllables branch out and further develop (we are discussing composing a passage) has not been studied. In addition, grammar books are written as if everything comes from nothing. The emergence of systematized works of this type, such as grammar reference books, also brings numerous literary, metaphysical, and scientific theories. And not vice versa. The grammatical rules of a later period make it possible to understand the meaning of what is written in these books (i.e., why they are written this way - translator's note). On the one hand, there is so-called linguistics; on the other, there is so-called comparative linguistics. The channels, that is, access to Vedic metaphysics and Vedic scientific knowledge, embedded in this language, have not been studied. And they may have never been available to a wide range of people anywhere. This could be because, based on real Sanskrit, Prakrit, Pali, about 14 languages in India arose. It was noted that the Pali language gave rise to the greatest number of different types of writing. These new languages consist of 43 letters.
Grammar is the independent structure of the language in each language. It does not depend on the features of the writing. The grammatical structure appears much earlier. We will soon see that writing, namely letters, was the latest way of transmitting language. And what is interesting is that they are the richest when there is nothing to transmit.
In conclusion, I place the following emphasis, noting the following. In the ancient literature of Bharatavarsa, there are no such words as migration, race, caste, India, religion, faith, or temple. These concepts were invented later.
The scholars of the so-called blond-blue-eyed-white-Christian culture did not even bother to think about why there were no Sanskrit dictionaries. And they confused themselves by creating dictionaries. They did not realize, or did not want to realize, that it was impossible to create a simplified version of this ancient language, like Devanagari. We will soon hear who benefited from this.
All known species understand each other through sounds and gestures. Each species has its inherent manner of conveying the essence. So, cats and dogs of all lands "communicate" without any "scientific" theories. People of all countries have always understood each other and still understand each other, without such a thing as "language" and modified, as someone needs, "science."
Since when did so many "sciences" for communication appear? Are they pre-colonial or post-colonial?
Only a species such as man has gone further than others and expresses itself with sounds and simple gestures. Or so other species that have done the same, I do not know.
Our ancestors' ancient, original methods of exchange and transmission must have been sounds and gestures, everywhere.
Our ancestors sought to create a clear picture of the world, so that it would become as clear as possible. And having already developed and realized it, they made a system of sounds, for language and gestures, for depicting and conveying a certain meaning. This can be called the art of depiction. This systematization resulted from a difficult path, because the moment came when the need for clear forms of expression arose, and it was impossible to do without it. Various views, opinions, and meanings were expressed, verified, and brought to crystal clarity. Precisely so that the undistorted meaning would be reflected in consciousness. Any view of something is a consequence of observations and experience, opinions, fantasies, and conclusions about what happened, which undoubtedly influenced us and determine our progress in the chosen direction. We move in a certain direction. We hear and see in a certain way through our perception without technical devices. We observe eye movements and record the intonations of the language we hear. There is a two-way exchange of questions and comments. There can be no other view, point of view, or method of perception that could be called accurate, that is, that assures us that what is perceived will be conveyed as truthfully as possible and without distortion of meaning. Various sounds and visual images characterize semantic connections with a clear, strict structure.
Up until now, this model of perception has always been in place, excluding long-term misunderstandings. This means that we can understand each other without scientific "innovations". If this perception model had been incorrect and unconvincing, it would not have made it possible to accumulate vast knowledge. There is still a long way to go in developing science in its various branches, from theory to grammar. And this long road does not need writing as an intermediary. Something else is impressive. The development of the alphabet, syllable, word, language, literature, philosophy, science, and grammar precedes. When does the need for language to transmit and store information arise? It had to be comprehensively adapted to convey everything that consciousness had come to and accumulated over a very long period. It was necessary to create the language so that errors in conveying the meaning of what is stored in memory were minimal. Our ancestors foresaw the regular but natural occurrence of mistakes. Thus, many ways appeared to avoid them and arrive at a method of error-free transmission of deep meaning. Here are these ways.
- Collective exercises that should be error-free, designed to create works that do not have inaccuracies;
- creation of "cheat sheets";
- poetry about life events, created based on various legends, poems about events and results of knowledge with a certain rhythm, consonances, emphasizing the accumulated knowledge stored in the people's memory.
These underlinings, i.e. accents, became symbols thanks to their graphic representation and formed the basis of the alphabet.
The variety of ways of external manifestation and the development of phonetics, that is, the "voicing" of writing is indisputable proof that our ancestors considered external expressions of the inner essence to be an imitation of audiovisual material, it served, so to speak, as a means of "second-class reliability" and the loss of direct sound and gestures in favor of a graphic image always caused concern! The invention of writing as a means of conveying meaning was about reproducing the timbre of sound and establishing a clear manner of expressing deep meaning. It was already lost in oral speech and in forming the "point of view", i.e., the worldview platform. So we are constantly faced with the possible danger of this "second-class reliability level". It is indisputable that the invention of writing, font, namely the discovery of a mobile means of easy transmission and distribution of "unwritten books," is a significant cultural achievement. In addition, the presence of writing made the wide dissemination of knowledge accumulated over centuries possible. Thanks to this, the boundaries of time and space expanded. Font as a means of external expression and partial generalization of the heritage that is difficult to access, can enrich our knowledge. But it is also worth noting the following. This is still an approximate, average generalization. Without the deep essence and the connection of various ways of viewing, looking (in Lithuanian this is expressed by a more accurate word - pasaulejausta - Translator's note), all these external manifestations are of little value.
