日 This is the Kanji for the word, Sun.

Words that use radicals 1

are related to or usually have something to do with things of the sun, bright things,

things that give off light, things that glow. Do you get the point? Japanese isn't that

difficult to read, but it is our predisposition to believe that it is so that is why we fail

before we even try. We look at the mess of Kanji or the Hieroglyphs and cower in

self stupidity. If someone could just show others as I had learned on my own. The

learning of another language wouldn't be such a daunting or formidable task. having

in someway a connection with the light, bright etc. These words too have also have

the kanji hi in them.

There seems to be so much more meaning contained in an ideograph than

do letters that represent sounds that together represent meaning. Here is one

example of a kanji that looks fairly difficult. This kanji is made in 9 strokes of the pen

and after learning that 日means the sun, or signifies words related to the sun then

we could make a fairly good estimate at what this next kanji means . 星 has the sun

kanji in it as well as the kanji for the word birth, or to give life to. 生 is the kanji sei

which means depending on tense of the word, life. In its future use tense this it

contains one other syllable mu む、Put 生and mu or む together and you have Umu

or in Japanese 生む which according to Sanseido's Daily Concise Japanese- English

Dictionary means 1. to bear a child, to give birth to a baby. 2 to lay eggs or

spawn.(49) Now before reading the answer on pg 8 take an educated guess at what

the meaning is. Think or ponder for a second how these two kanji put together make

a different yet totally logical word out of two other words. Just like Englishes prefixes

and suffixes in words like lithograph, literally stone write, or engraving . The words

birth of something and the word hi fused together make the word star. Now next time

you see a couple of kanji just take a guess, your chances of being right are better

than 50%.
 Better than 50% chance is usually all that linguists worry about when tring to

find the similiarities of language. if you can guess more than 50% of the words given

some system like the above then the language is said to be related to your own

family.

There are 6 main language families from whence all other languages stem.

These are the Indo-Eurasiatic, the Urallic, the Anuit eskimo, the and the ..

Since it has never been proven that there was one all powerful might mother tongue,

which by the way is called nostratic tongue, it is fair to assume that there was one.

The languages of the world although apparently can seem so different, and it is true

that we are confounded by them, one culture are confounded by the words of

another. The problem is, is that there is no proof because there is no evidence of the

writings or digital recordings of ancient peoples to tell us that there really was only

one language. One thing we can say for fact is that there were less people.

That is fairly obvious. Therefore on that assumption, we can assume that there were

less languages than there are now. Can't we further say then that the further back

we go there were still less and less people.Therefore as x ( the number of people on

the earth at any certain time) approaches 2, y =1. Because there is no

communication without two person. There isn't much need for a language if there is

nobody to communicate with. From 2 people perhaps came 16 others, children of

those 2 people therefore now it is possible to start having different languages.
