През тази епоха Българската или както отдавна вече е възприето и утвърдено в Тюркологията, Булгарската (Bulgarian) група е първата, най-многолюдната, военно-политически най-активно-динамичната и най-съществено-значимата част на Тюркското етнолингвистично семейство. Тя се състои от три сравнително обособени и отделно-самостоятелни подгрупи - Аварска, Болгарска (Bolgarian) или още Прабългарска (Protobulgarian) и Хазарска. Прародина на българските племена и народи е приалтайската Минусинска котловина. Тук, още преди края на IV хил. пр.н.е., отделилите се малко преди това от пратюркската етнолингвистична общност български родове и фамилии се съсредоточават, консолидират и обединяват в отделно-самостоятелно българско племе под ръководството и управлението на един-единствен върховен вожд, избиран по принцип от старейшините на родове и главите на фамилии. От най-дълбока древност и докато все още са в приалтайската си прародина, българите от Афанасиевската археологическа култура встъпват в най-близко- интензивен етнолингвистичен контакт и взаимодействие най-напред с индоиранците от Андроновската археологическа култура, а впоследствие и с иранските племена и народи. Българите тюрки изобщо и частично иранизираните прабългари или още болгари в частност, се характеризират със собствено-специфичен произход, расово-антропологичен тип, език, материална и духовна култура, развитие, разпространение, етноним наименование, достояния и приноси за националната и световната цивилизация и култура. Българите излизат на историческата сцена към края на III хил. пр.н.е. и в Централна Азия те са огромна сила. В продължение на много векове българите оказват своето най-интензивно-благотворно влияние и въздействие върху цялостния политико-икономически и културен живот на многобройните племена и народи от региона и особено на китайците. 3 БЪЛГАРИТЕ АФАНАСИЕВЦИ В МИНУСИНСКАТА КОТЛОВИНА Прабългаристиката, но същото и Болгаристиката, като отделно-самостоен клон на Булгаристиката, има за предмет на изследване прародината, произхода и етническата принадлежност, разселването, социалната организация, антропологията, езика, материалната и духовната култура на прабългарите или болгарите. При тази своя същност, съдържание и функция, тя представлява синкретично-комплексна и мултидисциплинарно-интегративна научна област със собствено-специфична методология и понятийно-категориален апарат. Затова тя се припокрива, съвпада, пък даже и обема, без обаче да преминава и да се разлива в тях, части от антропологията, лингвистиката, историографията, археологията, изворознанието, етногеографията, етнографията, фолклора, епиграфиката, нумизматиката, хералдиката и т.н. на прабългарската етническа общност. Изследвайки прабългарите, Прабългаристиката синтезира и обобщава резултатите от своите проучвания в краен брой основни положения или фундаментални принципи, относно съществено-значимите черти и особености на своя предмет. Прабългарите имат редица достояния и приноси за националната и световната цивилизация и култура. Археологически експонент на българската изобщо и на прабългарската в частност етно-социална и културно-историческа общност е Афанасиевската археологическа култура със своя собствено- специфичен произход, съдържание, структура, роля и място спрямо всички останали археологически култури в Минусинската котловина нейни приемници или продължители, а така също и спрямо предходната й Андроновската археологическа култура. ФУНДАМЕНТАЛНИТЕ ПРИНЦИПИ НА ПРАБЪЛГАРИСТИКАТА Собствено-специфичната методология и понятийно-категориалният апарат на Прабългаристиката имат своето най-дълбоко основание, както в същността, структурата и функцията на на нейния предмет на изследване, така също и в иманентната същност, цели и задачи и на самия научно-познавателен процес: Силно осезаемото наличие и присъствие в настоящото изследване и на този толкова максимално продуктивен и експлицитно-прогностичен и тъкмо затова и пределно съществено-важен момент, подход и метод вече го превръща и представя същевременно единствено и само като системно-интегративно и теолого-историографо-лингвистично по съдържание, вид и характер, а в един възможно най-обобщено-абстрактен, общонаучно-методологически план – и в синкретично-мултидисциплинарно по подход и метод на работа и реализация. Наред с това в хода на цялото изложение по-нататък, при поставянето и търсенето решение на даден проблем неизбежно-непрекъснато се появява най-належаща нужда от 4 привличането и анализа на сведения и данни още и от литературознанието, палеографията, текстологията, фолклористиката или казано най-общо от филологията, което вече като цяло превръща настоящото изследване и в историко- филологическо по съдържание. В хода на осъществяването на цялата тази толкова специфично-многостранна научноизследователска дейност повече от задължително е най-стриктно и даже педантично-скрупульозно да се следва и спазва и хронологията на отделните събития с особено внимание към тяхната фактическа или вътрешнологическа последователност и непротиворечивост, единство, цялостност, съвместимост и съгласуваност, а така също и към непосредствено-пряката причинно-следствена обвързаност и взаимна сводимост, но и изводимост и на самите събития, и на главните и основни участници в тях. Взета и разгледана от теоретико-методологическа гледна точка или което е същото - на метатеоретично равнище, тъкмо тази разновидност на субективно- индивидуалната, собствено и главно историографска по съдържание, вид и характер научноизследователска дейност по разработването на настоящата студия се очертава ни повече, ни по-малко като изграждане докрай и напълно на една съвсем нова и различна от досегашните, вътрешно единна и последователно-непротиворечива цялостно- завършена научна теория на проблема под формата и във вида на една изключително сложна, поликомпонентно-многослойна йерархична понятийно-категориална структура. Тази нова теория на проблема трябва непременно и във всички случаи да реализира не само и толкова собствено експликативно-дескриптивната, но и евристико- прогностичната си функция, т.е. да обяснява и описва въпросната локално-темпорална ситуация едновременно и като цяло, но и в детайли с оглед на всеки неин отделен компонент, не само синтезирайки и интегрирайки в себе си по различно-нов ред и начин всичките достъпно-налични научни факти, но и откривайки и даже и генерирайки и експлицирайки на съответното им място и време и по хоризонталата, и по вертикалата и съвсем нови и неизвестни досега научни факти, така че в края на краищата към доказателната сила и на цялото, и на всеки отделен компонент сам за себе си и поотделно да се прибави още и доказателната сила на тези новооткрити, генерирани и експлицирани научни факти [Добрев 2011, 34-35]. Понастоящем проблематиката за прабългарите или от чисто научна гледна точка, болгарите, се разглежда, разработва, интерпретира, коментира, анализира, пък дори и най-безмилостно експлоатира в рамките на една изключително разширена, даже и безкрайно-излишно разводнена парадигма. Достатъчно пълна, но същевременно и синтетично-кратка представа за тази парадигма може да се придобие от следното нейно разположение, разпределение и развитие във Времето и Пространството. Наред с пределно достоверните си и изобщо неподлежащи на съмнение, предостатъчно на брой, даже и аксиоматични основни положения, придружени от сравнително богата и разнобразна фактология, тази парадигма съдържа също 5 така и изобилие от груби фактически грешки, обобщения и заключения, включително и лингвистистични, пък дори и най-откровени недоразумения и отклонения. Независимо от това, през изминалия век в областта на Болгаристиката и малко по-общо, на Булгаристиката или Българистиката като основно-главен и централно-водещ

    The Call of the Siren: Bod, Baútisos, Baîtai, and Related Names (Studies in Historical Geography II) Bettina Zeisler (Universität Tübingen) 1. Introduction eographical or ethnical names, like ethnical identities, are like slippery fishes: one can hardly catch them, even less, pin them G down for ever. The ‘Germans’, for example, are called so only by English speakers. The name may have belonged to a tribe in Bel- gium, but was then applied by the Romans to various tribes of North- ern Europe.1 As a tribal or linguistic label, ‘German (ic)’ also applies to the English or to the Dutch, the latter bearing in English the same des- ignation that the Germans claim for themselves: ‘deutsch’. This by the way, may have meant nothing but ‘being part of the people’.2 The French call them ‘Allemands’, just because one of the many Germanic – and in that case, German – tribes, the Allemannen, settled in their neighbourhood. The French, on the other hand, are called so, because a Germanic and, in that case again, German tribe, the ‘Franken’ (origi- nally meaning the ‘avid’, ‘audacious’, later the ‘free’ people) moved into France, and became the ruling elite.3 The situation is similar or even worse in other parts of the world. Personal names may become ethnic names, as in the case of the Tuyu- hun. 4 Names of neighbouring tribes might be projected onto their overlords, as in the case of the Ḥaža, who were conquered by the Tuyuhun, the latter then being called Ḥaža by the Tibetans. Ethnic names may become geographical names, but then, place names may travel along with ethnic groups.

Mirativity marking in Shina’s linguistic neighbors is examined and compared with the situation in Shina. I find a clustering of what appears to be morphologically indicated mirativity in the eastern dialects of Shina, and identify two morphological strategies which can be employed to encode mirativity.

  • Originally, the Descendants of Hua Xia Were Not the Descendants of Yan Huang
    E-Leader Brno 2019 Originally, the Descendants of Hua Xia were not the Descendants of Yan Huang Soleilmavis Liu, Activist Peacepink, Yantai, Shandong, China Many Chinese people claimed that they are descendants of Yan Huang, while claiming that they are descendants of Hua Xia. (Yan refers to Yan Di, Huang refers to Huang Di and Xia refers to the Xia Dynasty). Are these true or false? We will find out from Shanhaijing ’s records and modern archaeological discoveries. Abstract Shanhaijing (Classic of Mountains and Seas ) records many ancient groups of people in Neolithic China. The five biggest were: Yan Di, Huang Di, Zhuan Xu, Di Jun and Shao Hao. These were not only the names of groups, but also the names of individuals, who were regarded by many groups as common male ancestors. These groups first lived in the Pamirs Plateau, soon gathered in the north of the Tibetan Plateau and west of the Qinghai Lake and learned from each other advanced sciences and technologies, later spread out to other places of China and built their unique ancient cultures during the Neolithic Age. The Yan Di’s offspring spread out to the west of the Taklamakan Desert;The Huang Di’s offspring spread out to the north of the Chishui River, Tianshan Mountains and further northern and northeastern areas;The Di Jun’s and Shao Hao’s offspring spread out to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, where the Di Jun’s offspring lived in the west of the Shao Hao’s territories, which were near the sea or in the Shandong Peninsula.Modern archaeological discoveries have revealed the authenticity of Shanhaijing ’s records.

ABSTRACT This article discusses the main views on the emergence and development of agricultural culture in Southern Uzbekistan. The question of the emergence of agriculture in southern Uzbekistan has been considered by researchers in connection with the history of the Bronze Age cultures of Northern Afghanistan and Southern Turkmenistan, as they have common developmental laws and historical roots. The study of the Namazgah cultures in southern Turkmenistan, the Dashtli cultures in northern Afghanistan, and the Sapalli cultures in southern Uzbekistan is one of the most important discoveries in Central Asian archeology and contains a wealth of scientific information on the history of the Bronze Age. During the Bronze Age, the areas where farmers lived were expanded by developing new lands. In these processes, migration is especially important - the migration of the population from one region to another and the emergence of agricultural culture in the Margiana and Bactria regions were associated with migration. According to the analyzed data, the main points of scientific views on the emergence and development of agricultural culture in Southern Uzbekistan are based on the theory of migration.

  • Pre-Proto-Iranians of Afghanistan As Initiators of Sakta Tantrism: on the Scythian/Saka Affiliation of the Dasas, Nuristanis and Magadhans
    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XXXVII, 2002 PRE-PROTO-IRANIANS OF AFGHANISTAN AS INITIATORS OF SAKTA TANTRISM: ON THE SCYTHIAN/SAKA AFFILIATION OF THE DASAS, NURISTANIS AND MAGADHANS BY Asko PARPOLA (Helsinki) 1. Introduction 1.1 Preliminary notice Professor C. C. Lamberg-Karlovsky is a scholar striving at integrated understanding of wide-ranging historical processes, extending from Mesopotamia and Elam to Central Asia and the Indus Valley (cf. Lamberg- Karlovsky 1985; 1996) and even further, to the Altai. The present study has similar ambitions and deals with much the same area, although the approach is from the opposite direction, north to south. I am grateful to Dan Potts for the opportunity to present the paper in Karl's Festschrift. It extends and complements another recent essay of mine, ‘From the dialects of Old Indo-Aryan to Proto-Indo-Aryan and Proto-Iranian', to appear in a volume in the memory of Sir Harold Bailey (Parpola in press a). To com- pensate for that wider framework which otherwise would be missing here, the main conclusions are summarized (with some further elaboration) below in section 1.2. Some fundamental ideas elaborated here were presented for the first time in 1988 in a paper entitled ‘The coming of the Aryans to Iran and India and the cultural and ethnic identity of the Dasas’ (Parpola 1988). Briefly stated, I suggested that the fortresses of the inimical Dasas raided by ¤gvedic Aryans in the Indo-Iranian borderlands have an archaeological counterpart in the Bronze Age ‘temple-fort’ of Dashly-3 in northern Afghanistan, and that those fortresses were the venue of the autumnal festival of the protoform of Durga, the feline-escorted Hindu goddess of war and victory, who appears to be of ancient Near Eastern origin.

  • Indo-European Linguistics: an Introduction Indo-European Linguistics an Introduction
    This page intentionally left blank Indo-European Linguistics The Indo-European language family comprises several hun- dred languages and dialects, including most of those spoken in Europe, and south, south-west and central Asia. Spoken by an estimated 3 billion people, it has the largest number of native speakers in the world today. This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the study of the Indo-European proto-language. It clearly sets out the methods for relating the languages to one another, presents an engaging discussion of the current debates and controversies concerning their clas- sification, and offers sample problems and suggestions for how to solve them. Complete with a comprehensive glossary, almost 100 tables in which language data and examples are clearly laid out, suggestions for further reading, discussion points and a range of exercises, this text will be an essential toolkit for all those studying historical linguistics, language typology and the Indo-European proto-language for the first time. james clackson is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge, and is Fellow and Direc- tor of Studies, Jesus College, University of Cambridge.

  • Outer and Inner Indo-Aryan, and Northern India As an Ancient Linguistic Area
    Acta Orientalia 2016: 77, 71–132. Copyright © 2016 Printed in India – all rights reserved ACTA ORIENTALIA ISSN 0001-6483 Outer and Inner Indo-Aryan, and northern India as an ancient linguistic area Claus Peter Zoller University of Oslo Abstract The article presents a new approach to the old controversy concerning the veracity of a distinction between Outer and Inner Languages in Indo-Aryan. A number of arguments and data are presented which substantiate the reality of this distinction. This new approach combines this issue with a new interpretation of the history of Indo- Iranian and with the linguistic prehistory of northern India. Data are presented to show that prehistorical northern India was dominated by Munda/Austro-Asiatic languages. Keywords: Indo-Aryan, Indo-Iranian, Nuristani, Munda/Austro- Asiatic history and prehistory. Introduction This article gives a summary of the most important arguments contained in my forthcoming book on Outer and Inner languages before and after the arrival of Indo-Aryan in South Asia. The 72 Claus Peter Zoller traditional version of the hypothesis of Outer and Inner Indo-Aryan purports the idea that the Indo-Aryan Language immigration1 was not a singular event. Yet, even though it is known that the actual historical movements and processes in connection with this immigration were remarkably complex, the concerns of the hypothesis are not to reconstruct the details of these events but merely to show that the original non-singular immigrations have left revealing linguistic traces in the modern Indo-Aryan languages. Actually, this task is challenging enough, as the long-lasting controversy shows.2 Previous and present proponents of the hypothesis have tried to fix the difference between Outer and Inner Languages in terms of language geography (one graphical attempt as an example is shown below p.

  • On the Process of Sedentarization of Volga Bulgars
    Journal of Sustainable Development; Vol. 8, No. 7; 2015 ISSN 1913-9063 E-ISSN 1913-9071 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education On the Process of Sedentarization of Volga Bulgars Fayaz Sh. Khuzin1 1 Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Kazan, Russia Correspondence: Fayaz Sh. Khuzin, Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Kremlyovskaya 18, Kazan, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 15, 2015 Accepted: June 24, 2015 Online Published: June 30, 2015 doi:10.5539/jsd.v8n7p68 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jsd.v8n7p68 Abstract The relevance of the study is determined by the need to create a more complete picture of the conversion of the nomadic peoples of Eurasian steppes, namely, the Volga Bulgars living in VIII-X centuries, to a strict sedentarization while statehood was being formed and new religion – Islam was being spread. The objective of the article is to analyze the available sources, enabling to specify the chronological framework of sedentarization of Bulgars, which at the end of IX - beginning of X centuries resulted in the emergence of stationary settlements, including cities. The multidisciplinary approach to the problem is the leading one in this article. It involves synthesis of data provided by a number of sciences in order to obtain complete information.
