Is it right? Kindly help me. Dear Mr. Rasoolpuri, Theories connecting Munda and Australian languages were rejected by S. Konow already a century ago. I attach here a summary of the concerned bibliography, which includes some comments added by specialist in Austroasiatic linguistics David Stampe (the editor of the web page I quote from). http://www.ling.hawaii.edu/faculty/stampe/AA/Munda/BIBLIO/biblio.autho rs Gabelentz, G. von der. 1891. Die Sprachwissenschaft [Linguistics]. Leipzig: ??, 1891. -- Posits a "Kolarian-Australian" language family, 274 ff. Thomsen, Vilhelm. 1892. Bemaerkninger om de khervariske (kolariske) Sprogs Stilling [= Observations on the place of the Kherwarian (Kolarian) language]. Oversigt over det Kgl. Danske Videnskabs Selskabs Forhandlinger ??.231-238 (1892). -- Attaches the Munda languages closely to the Australian languages; cf. the reply of Konow 1906. Charencey, de. 1901. Note sur la langue Santali [ =Note on the Santali language]. Journal asiatique, ser. 9, 17 (158), 350-351 (1901). -- Santali is the main dialect of the Kolarian family, which perhaps was in India before the arrival of the Dravidians. A few Santali words are compared to words of the Mon or Annamite group to show that the former borrowed from the latter. Similarities to Australian words are cited as evidence of contact with "black Oceanians". Konow, Sten. 1904. MuNDa|s and Australians. Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenla"ndischen Gesellschaft (Leipzig) 58. 147-157 (1904). -- Rejects Thomsen's theory connecting Munda and Australian languages. Hope this may help.

"Lemuria" was the motherland of mankind (all races). Also read books: "The World before" by Ruth MontGomery "Children of Mu (Lemuria)" James Churchward Both available from AMAZON.COM Satish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
