  • Finnish-Uralic Linguistic Connections
    Finnish- Uralic Linguistic Connections Mel Copeland 1 Finnish- Uralic Linguistic Connections Mel Copeland November 10, 2020 The origin of the Finnish/Sami people is believed to be around the Ural Mountains. The Sami are believed to have been separated from the Finns taken the northern route to Finland. The Finns may have taken several paths, back and forth, north to south, south to north between Anatolia and Finland and portions of Norway, Sweden and Baltic states. This document, prepared using the Indo-European Table 1 (file:///C:/Users/mel/Documents/maravot.com/Indo-European_Table.html ), compares Finnish terms with others in the Indo-European Table to ascertain whether there are linguistic patterns suggesting the route the Finnish migrations took to get to Finland. Because the Albanians are recorded by Roman maps as being near Georgia, approximately the area of Azerbaijan, Finnish linguistic connections with Hittite, Georgian, Persian and Akkadian may reveal some aspects of the movement and origin of the Finnish peoples. Sanskrit and Akkadian seem to function at the core of the languages listed in the Indo-European Table. The relationship of Akkadian to these languages needs to be explained. As the people passed through the Balkans to the Baltic, it is understandable that the language would pick up terms from these regions and their peoples, (Baltic/Slavic, German). A preliminary search of our “Indo-European-Eurasian Words Linking Ancient Pastoralists,” confirms a strong “Baltic-German (via English)” connection and quite interestingly a strong connection to Hittite and Akkadian (Assyrian). Sanskrit also has a direct liason with Finnish-Uralic.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 INTRODUCTION This study of the present state of the Livonian language, a Baltic-Finnic tongue spoken by a few elderly people formerly resident in a dozen fishing villages on the coast of Latvia, consists of four main parts. Part One gives an outline of the known history of the Livonian language, the history of research into it, and of its own relations with its closest geographical neighbour, Latvian, a linguistically unrelated Indo-European language. A state of Latvian/Livonian bilingualism has existed for virtually all of the Livonians' (or Livs') recorded history, and certainly for the past two centuries. Part Two consists of a Descriptive Grammar of the present- day Livonian language as recorded in an extensive corpus provided by one speaker.

Lives in Helsinki, born 1967, in Lapua, Finland. I’m an artist, director, writer and researcher. A Doctor of Fine Arts (Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Helsinki 2005). Since 1990 I have been an independent, freelancing artist, except for the years 2008–2013, when I was Professor of Fine Arts in Aalto University. I'm also the chairman of The Artists' Association of Finland. I work in the fields of art, philosophy and politics by whatever means necessary. The results are usually some kind of visual art, literature, theater, film or theory. For me art is the best way to respond to the questions: "How should we live? Why should we keep on living? What is good life?" Art is the most flexible, versatile and holistic form of philosophy and politics. I’ve had 58 solo exhibitions, participated in over 200 group shows, written nine books and written & directed numerous theatre plays, films and operas. #1 / 42# Teemu Mäki, CV, www.teemumaki.com Table of contents My Books 3 Theatre Works (as director / writer) 3 Other functions in performing arts$4!
