Far East Asian Languages Are Near African Languages by Nobody: 7:13pm On Jan 18, 2011 |
The writing system of Japanese hides the striking similarities between Japanese and African languages. But on closer examination of the syllables that make up the Kanji character set, the syllables easily describe the Nigerian Languages. Japanese festivals and dressing are very African in color combination. Also Shinto is about shrines, ancestors, mountain spirits, tree spirits, the so-called heathen religions that was used to justify the enslavement of Blacks. http://www.stewartsynopsis.com/links_to_japanese_and_african_la.htm Very interesting piece. Japanese - Nigeria Azuma-san (mountain) - Zuma Rock , Niger State Tobi-shima (island) - Tobi (name), Yoruba. Tobi: Rivers State male name Akō(town) - Akō: Yoruba, excessive pride Akan(town) - Akandu: Ibo male name Ibara(town) - Ibarapa, Oyo State Minna-jima (island) - Minna, Niger State Obirin University,Tokyo - Obirin: Yoruba, female Iwaya(town) - Iwaya, Yaba, Lagos State Ago(town) - Ago: Yoruba, time Kure(town) - Akure, Ondo State Aso-san(mountain)- Aso Rock, Abuja FCT Wada(town) - Wada: Hausa name Ibuki(town) - Buki: Yoruba female name Sanjō(town) - Ōbasanjō: Yoruba male name Ōi(town) - Ōyi: Ebira, sunlight Ōkada - Ōkada, Edo State Watanabe - Watanabe: Southern Borno State name Ayama(town) - Ayama!: Yoruba exclamation etc etc |

Ileke-IdI: Interesting, i have been prevliged to investigative resouces of deep-ocean divers. The present day Japan is what is left-over, after some geological incidences of the past. The Africa (Negroid) linage of the artifacts and fossils have been debated and analysed and satisfied. The Africa origin of mankind is ascertained. The next face, as this author is rightly doing, is to connect the dots. That is, the synthesis, of the web of connections. Thanks to genetic engineering, the dispersals (migrations patterns) of genetic-markers have been mapped by scholars. There are more of Japan under the water than what is left of it today |

@topic, The two started from a common root in AFRO-ASIA. |

amazonia: That is sooooo awesome!! Did you take any photographs at the sight? I'd love nothing more than a glimpse of those artifacts and fossils. Negro_Ntns:Interesting. An observation: There's another theory that every being originated from Africa, but why are E. Asian languages the only currently languages found to have connections with African languages (near African)? This theory could possibly be back by the new revelation amazonia posted above. |
Re: Far East Asian Languages Are Near African Languages by amazonia(m): 3:28am On Jan 19, 2011 |
Ileke-IdI: I did not physically see, but in plated pictures of photos in magazines, like "National Geographic". And books like, "The Evidence of Earth's Lost Civilization" FINGER PRINTS OF THE GODS. by Graham Hancock. And much more. As regard your observations, there had been many hypothesises and vacillations over the ages. It is accepted generally now, by all, that Africa is the cradle of humanity. this had been validated by all accepted means of dating of physical matters on hand.(fossils). |

@op Native Americans, that is the legendary "red indians" in the USA, has the same phonetic cadence of words accentions like us. Though, overwhelmed by the Europeans culture that prevails in US, few that survives in the mountain regions, bears unmistakable resemblance to our cultures. They have words likes okpilla, Idaho, etc. With same meaning. They have many ethnic diversity like us. Heavy, on ancestral Spirituality. |

There are many Japanese names and words that are eerily similar to Benin names and words and some that are similar to some Yoruba names. Of all the Nigerian languages I would say Japanese probably has the most coincidences with Edo. Especially names that start with the letter O. However I don't think there's any evidence that Far East Asian languages are really "near" to African languages. 1 Like |

Errr. . . amazonia is stretching the truth a little bit. On current scientific evidence, Geological 'catclysmic' events have happened and will happen but isn't the reason for human migration which happened around 50,000 years ago. Also, The San people (The bushmen) are thought to be the direct descendants of the earliest homo sapiens sapiens and NOT the bantu people and so early migrants to Asia from Africa were most probably descedants of the San rather than the Bantu which for some reason is the most populous Negroid sub-group. This is the truth out there! This will obviously be reviewed with more discoveries. |
Re: Far East Asian Languages Are Near African Languages by amazonia(m): 4:57pm On Jan 20, 2011 |
ow11: @OW11 I did not suggest nor implied that human migrations is due to the incidences. But, rather that such incidences are partly responsible for some broken links. which are accessable to the deep-sea divers. Bushmen/Bantus? well i mean the early migrants from the continent of African. |

amazonia: ahaha, I sent some interview question to a colleague of mines. She answered with this. . . answer had nothing to do with my questions. lol It would bt too far-fetched to say it is agreed by ALL. PhysicsMHD: I noticed that. I wonder what other commonalities the Yoruba, Edo and East Asians shares, apart from their near sounding names. |
Re: Far East Asian Languages Are Near African Languages by ezeagu(m): 8:51pm On Jan 20, 2011 |
Some of the words are interesting, most of them are just random coincidental similarities that don't prove anything. The interesting ones are the similar sounding words that have roughly the same meaning. Another thing that makes the comparison less interesting is that the languages used come from random languages from different language groups that are sometimes unrelated. On the other hand I've seen similarities with Japanese and Igbo, that is names and words that are similar sounding and that also have similar meanings. These are some of them. Japanese - Igbo Nani (what) - Gini (what) Ani (how far in some dialects) Ta (rice field) - Ta (eat) Shita (down) - Hida ('come down' in some dialects) Asaba (a Japanese village) - Asaba (although originally Ahaba) Ookii ('big') - Ukwu (big) Otoko (man) - Okoro (man) Hi (day) - Chi (day) Mizu (water) - Miri (water) Mu (wood) - Nkwu (fire wood) Teishi (stop) - Kushi (stop) Oyogu (swim) - igwu (mmiri, swim) Sansan (shine brightly) - Chaocha (Shine bright, light or white) |

Japanese - Igbo Eze, That's a wrong method to render comparatives in tongues. Tongues are linked via common roots so that when you subtract the vowels from the terms the meaning in the word is not lost to comprehension. The examples you give will loose their meaning if their vowels are taken out. Ileke-Idi, the ground zero of tongue diversity was Babylon. The event leading to it was an act of rebellion that GOD punished with a division of people and their understanding of one another. In other words, GOD diluted the capability of mankind to form a single and powerful alliance over nature and the environment. From this ground zero, the migration were in two directions (1) Westward, and (2) Eastward. West was Africa and East was Asia. They each left Babylon with a common philosophy but with passage of time and evolution, new reforms and growth, led to a widened gap between the Africans and the Asians. Particularly, the Empires of the Western philosophies were very feudal and creative, yielding rapid attritions and eliminations. Egyptian , Phoenician, Babylonian, Roman in the West. . . . . versus Mesopotamia, Mongol, Ottoman in the East. |

I've even found more for Igbo and Japanese Japanese - Igbo De (in) - Di (in, is, present) No (on position) - Nor (on position, present) |
Re: Far East Asian Languages Are Near African Languages by NegroNtns(m): 8:44pm On Jan 24, 2011 |
From Africa to India, China and Japan.

I'd like to see Modupe Oduyoye's take on this as Mr Baiye's looks a bit like speculation to me. Any published papers? @Negro_Ntns, could you please explain the numbers? |
