  • 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.

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.
