Previously I have speculated about the existence of an “Oriental” / “Orientalesque” / “Amurian” language family, containing the indigenous languages of East Asia, Siberia and the Americas. It is the shared affinity for efficiency, even in tribal form, that has persisted up even against Western hegemony.
So far my speculations have mostly been confined to people of “Mongoloid” descent. My suggested renaming for such people is “Amurian”, which is more respectful. The Amur River has presented itself to me as a critical hub for understanding the “East Asian” / “Mongoloid” very broadly defined lineage. This phenotype did of course come from somewhere, and these people do all pertain to this lineage, but please be very careful when generalising. Many people are keen to spread the idea that languages are not intrinsically connected to ethnicity or race. Quite how accurate this is is questionable, since all human languages have a corresponding ethnicity by which they are mostly spoken. It is nevertheless true that a language is not strictly bound to its own original ethnicity. Again, proceed with caution.
Now I find myself wondering whether there is more to this language family. This has produced two speculative considerations:
- … that these languages of today are descendants of the original “New Language” family. To explain, I have a theory that all human languages spoken across all ethnicities were once upon a time related, let’s call the family Proto-Global / “Proto-Globaliesque” / “Proto-Globalian”. Eventually, upon migration from the Homo sapiens homeland of Africa and the settling of Eurasia, some people decided to invent “New Language” that was sweepingly divergent from Proto-Global. My speculations have led me to identify East Asia -the Yangtze River?- and Basal East Eurasians (the ancestors of both Mongoloids and Australoids, and Asiatic Negritos, including the Andamanese peoples – as opposed to West Eurasians, the ancestors of Caucasians, Indians, Arabs and North Africans). Well, some Basal East Eurasian descendants, at least. And so yes, I think the current Mongoloid languages of today may well be descended from the very first “New Language” family.
- … are the languages of Aboriginal Australians, Papua New Guineans and Andamanese thereby included in a massive East Eurasian macrofamily? Beyond efficiency and sensitivity, an overarching notion I have identified is “conceptual-abstract”. Well, proto-conceptual-abstract, before the West cottoned on. This could be the family glue here. Do the aforementioned Australoid/Negrito others fit into this vaguely illustrated bubble, or not? Potential evidence for this classification comes in different formats. We have the strength of East Asian IQ scores. Ranking on top of on international tables are China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Mongolia. The South American drug business, for example, also indicates a suppressed devotion to para-sensoriality, via the Amerindian Buzz-Concept infinity, which connects up with the East Asian efficiency. Meanwhile in Oceania, Buzz-Concepts are typically hyper-conceptual, such as atonement in Aboriginal Australian languages; tension in Togutil of Indonesia, and application in Jarawa of the Andaman Islands. Aboriginal Australian dot art is also suggestive of the aforementioned parallels.
