Actually that is not the case. Historical linguists agree with the Pontic Steppe theory, because it is based on linguistic evidence. Few computational phylogeneticists have supported the outdated Anatolian hypothesis, but you can see that it is easy to disprove:Stears555 said:The russia-ukraine theory is a very well spread and popular theory amongs amateurs due to the internet, however it is not such popular amongst the academic scholars linguists. The asian (Iran or Turkey) theory is more popular amongst academics linguists.
Yes, Proto-Uralic expanded from the easternmost Europe, around Volga-Kama region, but its ancestor seems to have developed around South Siberia.Stears555 said:Unlike the IE languages (spoken originally by R1b asians) the Uralic languages especially finno-ugric languages appeared in Europe. Deal with it!
Uralic language family was proved already 100 years ago, when Samoyed was included. There is no varying views about which languages are Uralic and which are not, if you meant that.Stears555 said:However the existence of Uralic languages is not generally accepted by scholars.
It is possible to recognize some similar words based on regular sound changes, like Fi., Est. kala ~ Hu. hal ‘fish’. But many words are totally unrecognizable for the laymen, like Fi. hiiri ~ Hu. egér ‘mouse’ (regular cognates).oriental said:When I lived in Toronto I had an Estonian, Hungarian and Finnish friends. They told me they can understand each other or the languages are very similar (could be dialects). Probably way back in history they were from the same tribe or region.
Actually the deepest taxonomic gap is at the Ural mountains, but just some centuries ago it was in Europe, because Ugric language Mansi was still spoken in Europe. Pre-Hungarian was spoken around the Urals before it moved to the steppe and spread westwards between several Turkic languages. Hungarian is rather closely related to Mansi and Khanty:Aberdeen said:As for Uralic languages, they're found on both sides of the Urals and while some scholars have suggested a place of origin along the Oka River, this seems unlikely, given that the oldest and most diverse forms of Uralic are found in Siberia. Therefore, some scholars, such as Peter Hajdu, have suggested that a Siberian origin for Proto-Uralic seems more likely.
That idea was born dead. Protolanguage is a logical inevitability, even if it was born as an admixture of two different language. Protolanguage cannot be explained away. Protolanguage is always born in a narrow homeland, even if it is born from such admixture.gyms said:More recently, the conventional framework of Uralic studies has been challenged
from two points of view. On the one hand, the so-called Roots Group,
led by Kalevi Wiik (e.g. 2004) and anticipated by János Pusztay (1996), has
proposed that the Uralic comparative corpus, or at least a considerable part of
it, should be explained as the result of areal convergence, rather than genetic divergence.
If this were the case, there would have been no single coherent Proto-
Uralic language, but, rather, two or more regional proto languages and centres
of expansion.
""Do not forget: According to linguist scholars, the closest relatives of ancient Sanskrit language are the gypsy languages. Deal with the reality! ))""
deal with reality you are an idiot.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/kent/voices/language.shtml"Read books about it" which books? There is no claim in those books that Sanskrit is a "Gypsy" language. This is your invention. I suppose you have tried to "conclude" that on the racial "facts", of Hindus, being more 'darker skinned' than you are? Regards to these books (i am guessing you want to start with David Mayall (who is seeking the roots of Gypsy people)? In fact you have never even read few pages out of them, and you are already making "conclusions". If I would ask you to give me a Synopsis out of this book, you would avoid to answer me...
If you would know and study ANY Indo European language, then you would know that Gypsy (Romani) languages belong to the major Indo European (I would add also Russian or Asian) family. Gypsy is a special "Hindu" - Indo Aryan "dialect", some claim it is related to it (i do not share this opinion, I rather call it the language of Kashmir (there is another Kush (current Ethiopia) in Africa, which was probably their ancient homeland, before they've moved to Kashmir(nearby India), from where they brought the so called "Egyptian" linguistic traces)...
Every single Indo European language is related to Sanskrit, for example, germanic Man, shares similarities with Sanskrit word Manu. In Slavic we do not have this similarity with Sanskrit. We use the form Človek or Čovjek or CheloVek, which means "Forhead era", which derives from the story about Svetovid(=Slavic Shiva), and origins of Man (Manu), which came from his (Shiva's) forhead and fell to the ground (Prthvi; Prst in Slovene; Earth); This was the story about Mangalaloka (=planet Mars; currently Hindus sent their 1st successful mission to planet Mars (called Mangalayan; from Sanskrit मंगल mangala, "Mars" and यान yāna, "craft, vehicle")...
Sanskrit was an artificially created liturgical Vedic language which derived from many "winds"(especially from "Indo European" language, & partially from the Akkadian) ...Gypsy languages officially belongs to the Indo European family, as part of Hindu dialects.
But if you want to discuss about the Sanskrit (especially old Rig Vedic; sanskrit was evolving through thousands and thousands of years) and today's closest to it are Lithuanian, Slovene and Greek, Hindu contains about ca 11% of the original Sanskrit words. Hittite was also quite related to it ("Hittitologists" have erroneusly transliterated/translated many Hittite words ; for example the Battle of Kadesh; Kadesh was the Hittite (Kad) - Desh (Deza in Sanskrit) or Dežela in Slovene; "land")... Sanskrit is the most developed, precise, SCIENTIFIC ancient language on this planet. I've intentionally mentioned it derived from many winds, because you can use at least 5-20 words for 1 meaning... all those words do not necessary use the same "IE" source, several words (later!) derived from Pali, Kirata (Nepal tribes), Punjabi, Bengal, Akkadian,...
So, no authors claim that Sanskrit is a Gypsy language. This is your personal claim.
No, but it tells us that the deepest taxonomic gap (between Finno-Permic and Ugro-Samoyedic) was located in Europe. That is one hint towards the area of dispersion of Late Proto-Uralic in Europe, but of course not the only one. We cannot speculate with some hypothetical, lost Uralic languages, so we have to play with the survived languages only.Aberdeen said:Thanks for the information, Jaska, but I don't think where the Mansi were a few centuries ago or 2000 years ago really tells us much about where the Uralic body of languages originated.
So far there is no single Y-chromosomal haplogroup which would be common in every Uralic branch. N1c1 is common elsewhere in the family (2 out of 4 ancient Hungarian nobility samples were N1c1), but N1b is the only haplogroup shared by all the Samoyedic peoples.Aberdeen said:If we go back far enough, Uralic languages seem to have a strong connection to the Y subclade N1c, and one of the mysteries about Hungarian is that it's spoken by people among who N1c is rare. Anyway, geneticists generally seem to think Y haplotype N arced from southeast Asia west and north across Siberia and into Europe, so I do think there's a good chance Proto-Uralic started in Siberia.
I don't want to spoil interesting discussions, so please respect other's opinion. It goes to all parties involved. Thanks.You are full of shit.
When you find something racist, send it to me please." I don't want to spoil interesting discussions, so please respect other's opinion. It goes to all parties involved. Thanks. "
Rather read his racist comments, before taking only my comment out of the context, O.K?

We must remember that languages did not spread to their present areas at once, but along many consequent steps. For example Tundra Nenets spoken north of the Volga-Kama region (he original homeland of Late Proto-Uralic) did not spread right there, but in several steps:
1. From Volga-Kama to the east to Sayan Mountains (Pre-Proto-Samoyedic)
2. From Sayan Mountains to the north between Yenisei and Ob (Proto-North-Samoyedic)
3. From Lower Yenisei Valley to the west (Proto-Nenets)
4. From Lower Ob to the west (Tundra Nenets)
All these linguistic stages can be connected to different composition of haplogroups. That is the reason why we cannot any more trace which haplogroup spread the Proto-Uralic language.
We cannot guess the linguistic homeland on the basis of haplogroups, but just the opposite: we must find the linguistic homeland on the basis of linguistic evidence, and only after that we can look if any survived haplogroup matches our result. It is a possibility that the haplogroup which spread the Proto-Uralic language has since then disappeared.
We know that Late Proto-Uralic was spoken in Europe, but its ancestor language seems to have been spoken in Siberia.
Regardless of whether I'm correct in thinking that the Uralic languages probably originated in Siberia, the only thing that really matters is that all Europeans are a mixture of Asian and Middle Eastern people, and their ancestors originally came from Africa. So the Rasta men of Jamaica are correct in saying that if you want to speak authentically about life, you have to cite Africa as the source.
