Re: Greek language has heavily borrowed from Arabic
You forgot (?) the posting's content in another topic, Dandullah:
Quote:Hi! I have read a book in english" Black spark, white fire", I don't remember the author, but it says that 25% of greek language words have arabic roots.That means that egyptian culture was the basis for the greek one. Can anybody who knows both languages tell me if this is really true? I know that Greeks will deny it, but if anyone knows the truth can write something about it. I am not interested in politisized or made-up stories The simple truth is needed.
dfads
what i've heard that greeks learned a lot from semitic cultures (phoenicians , cannan ) maybe during trade with them they borrowed words. who knows the truth perhaps lies in Linear A .....
Re: dfads
Not new, the Historian Matthew Aref states that Ancient Greeks took their roots from semito-egyptians...

Re: dfads
For every historian that states the above ,there's 100 that state otherwise... the ancient Egyptians were a force to be reckon with... and they themselves were heavily influenced by Greek culture and at one time were administered by Greeks. (Cleopatra)

Re: dfads
To canaris! I was asking a honest question since this author is claiming that 25% of greek vocabolary has arabic roots, not other way arond.You canaris are talking about Alexanders time which is relatively new.The EGYPTIAN civilisation and hebrew one are much older. It is beleived that greek scholars regularly visited their Egyptian counterparts.Anyway you don't have any firm answer. It is not that immportant.Just curiousity.THNX.
Akkadian
IF any of these languages have a consistent line running through them it is the Babylonian one, the oldest recorded language. The learned peoples from the oldest settled human society in the fertile crescent/UR branched out to form their own settlements and the nations/religions that followed. If any language connects them, it would be the Akkadian (Berosus, the greek name given by Herodotus and Babylon, being the capital of Sumeria/the nation of the Babylonians)
Re: Akkadian
Egyptians was not influenced by greek culture, they're way older then you newbies.
2; cleopatra was not greek.
wet dreams?
Ēameria is situated geographically on the north-west Greece. This beautiful region, has a rich Albanian heretage and it was only in the 1912 that is was annexed unfairly and unjustifiable to Greece. This was the aftermath of the decision of the great powers to give Ēameria to Greece, just as the great powers had made similar decisions to give Kosova and other Albanian territories to Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro.
