The OP is a typical example of a person who has no idea of the meaning of the word "research"
I’ve been a researcher of African history since when your father was a teenager living with his parents, so shut your rotten lips there.

Forum of imbeciles.

If you have nothing tangible to add to the discussion, GET LOST from here.

So far, I’ve only seen one or two posters with the intelligence and exposure to discuss this topic.

The rest of you just sound like imbecilic school dropouts drowned in a swamp of tribalism and racial inferiority complex, and I find you utterly repulsive.

Actually no, you ignorant pea brain and school dropout with attitude.

AI doesn’t tell you “what you want to hear”.

It’s far more sophisticated than that. And will tell you when your proposition is baseless, and conversely, when it sounds credible, meritorious, and deserving of deeper research, AS WAS THE CASE IN THIS INSTANCE.

Your problem is you are a dunce, so you haven’t the slightest clue how to conduct objective research with AI.

USE YOUR HEAD.

Who said they were ''ONE''?

How many word cognates must the two languages share before you see a connection? 100? 1000?

Did the ancient English and modern Europeans not mix with other people and invaders/conquerors further down the line that would have added their own vocabulary?

AI technology just told you up there that there is SOMETHING to it, based on the similarity of JUST THOSE DOZEN WORDS with identical meanings.
There's NORHING to it, at least not in the way you mean...

You obviously don't know any morphology (Word formation)

Root word, prefix, suffix, Etymology...

I see what u are trying to do but don't force it, you don't just pick random words and try to prove a point...

The properties of the two languages are different.


Look let me lecture u further, see below

Igbo Yoruba English
Mmiri Omi water
Aka. Aka/Apa hand
Ewu Ewure goat
Onu enu mouth
Etc

This actually proves that there was a relationship between igbo and Yoruba the two languages belong to the same family as well and they are geographically not distant, now there is something there



If u really believe that west Africans settled in Europe, you just be really stupid, sorry to say, it is really stupid to even conceive that idea


English, french, German are products of Latin

Look at this AIR HEAD with secondary school knowledge who thinks he actually knows something.

Have you heard of Grimaldi Man?

I know you haven’t, so let me lecture your air head.

Grimaldi Man was the name given to the reconstruction of fossilised remains of one of the earliest humans discovered in Europe. He was found to be an AFRICAN BLACK MAN and was carbon dated to 40,000 BCE.

That proved to researchers decades ago that BLACK AFRICANS were the first Homo Sapien settlers of Europe, and lived in Europe for at least 30,000 YEARS before the first so called “white people” emerged roughly 7,000 years ago.

The “white people” were essentially albinoid Africans who may have mated with Neanderthals.

In fact EUROPE was the LAST region that was settled by Africans, who were the world’s first and original people who explored and settled the entire world tens of thousands of years before any other race of human beings existed.

Africans built and sailed in ships and explored the entire world. They sailed to Australia in ships 50,000 years ago. Their descendants are the so-called Aborigines of Australia. The first settlers of Asia were BLACK AFRICANS.

The first empires of India, China and Japan were BLACK AFRICAN empires.

This is called the Out of Africa thesis, and is confirmed by multiple DNA studies, and is now recognised as scientific FACT.

Black Africans invented speech, writing, mathematics, astronomy, architecture, religion, the sciences and the arts.

Kemet (Egypt) was for thousands of years the “USA” of the world, as Greeks and other foreigners left Europe to school in the then BLACK AFRICAN EMPIRE OF EGYPT.

Black Africans built the pyramids and temples of Egypt.

Before Egypt there was an EARLIER precursor empire known as TA SETI, which later came to be known as Nubia and Kush, in modern day Sudan.

There are over 250 pyramids in Sudan today, more than the number in Egypt.

Many of them are older than any pyramids in Egypt, because pyramid building started in inner Africa before those Africans migrated upwards to Egypt.

So when we are talking about AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON THE WORLD, it is all-pervasive, and it’s not something you are taught in schools because there is an agenda to keep this knowledge away from Africans.

They want you to keep feeling inferior and subservient to the “white people” your ancestors civilised out of the caves of the Caucasus mountains.

Show me a statue or an artefact showing a white person writing in 2,500 BCE. Impossible. They were cave savages whom we regarded back then as little better than animals.

The European lawyer wigs they wear today was COPIED from ancient Africans. But because we are IGNORANT of our history, we don't know this, so we copy the European lawyer wigs instead of just wearing the original KEMETIAN wigs they imitated. This is what happens when you don't know your history. Or care to know your history.

According to Godfrey Higgins, the British author of ANACALYPSIS, or An Inquiry Into The Origin Of Nations, 1836, INDIA used to be known as 'Eastern Ethiopia', as it was referred to by Herodotus, the Greek 'father of history'.

India was ruled by ETHIOPIANS for thousands of years before they were finally overthrown by invading white Aryans from Iran to the north with whom they fought for centuries for control of India.

According to Higgins,

‘’There were two Ethiopias, one to the east of the Red sea, and the other to the west of it: and a very great nation of blacks ... did rule over almost all Asia in a very remote era, in fact beyond the reach of history or any of our records’’.

’’We have found the black complexion or something relating to it whenever we have approached the origin of nations. The Alma Mater, the goddess Multimammia, the founders of oracles, the Memnons or first idols, were always black. Venus, Juno, Jupiter, Apollo, Bacchus, Hercules, Asteroth, Adonis, Horus, Apis, Osiris, Ammon, in short, all the ... deities were black. The images remain as they were first made in very remote times.’’

"The originals of all the Gods have always been of the black race...In my Essay on The Celtic Druids, I have shown, that a great nation called Celtæ, of whom the Druids were the priests, spread themselves almost over the whole earth, and are to be traced in their .. gigantic monuments from India to the extremities of Britain. Who these can have been but the early individuals of the black nation of whom we have been treating I know not, and in this opinion I am not singular.''

The structures could not have been built by ANYONE ELSE BUT BLACK AFRICANS, because ONLY BLACK AFRICANS had the capacity to build on that scale 5,000+ years ago.

ANY STRUCTURE YOU SEE ON EARTH that is older than 3000 years WAS BUILT BY BLACK AFRICANS.

Go and read Godfrey Higgins' ANACALYPSIS. I just quoted him above.

Even the supposed oldest city in the world, Jericho, was built by a people known as 'NATUFIANS'.

It is good for us to share this knowledge because our people are tragically ignorant and miseducated.

You are indeed right about Sumerian links to Igbo, and the famous Sumerian name for black people ''saggigi' (meaning black headed people) mirrors the ''isioggi' (or black headed people) which Igbos call black people today.

IGBO IS OLDER THAN ENGLISH, AND WEST AFRICANS SETTLED EUROPE AT LEAST BY 40,000 BCE.

EVERY SINGLE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE IS A DERIVATIVE OF AFRICAN LANGUAGES.

The FIRST Europeans were BLACKS FROM WEST AFRICA according to scientific consensus on the ‘OUT OF AFRICA’ thesis.

THE ENTIRE EUROPE WAS BLACK FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS before ALBINO 'white' groups emerged a mere 7,000 years ago.

So EVERY European language, indeed EVERY SINGLE LANGUAGE ON EARTH is derived from AFRICAN languages.

THIS explains why so many English words sound derived from IGBO.

Ìgbò - English
Anụmanụ - Animal
Mmiri (water) - Marine
Si - Say
Mụ - Me
Yi (in some dialects) - You
Anya - Eye
Ekpere - Pray
Okuko - Cock
Felie - Fly
Gaa - Go (The English "go" comes from Old English gān),
Oche - Chair
Ala, Alandi - Land
Ogologo - Long
Doro - Draw
Lekiri - Look
Ukwe - Choir
Kutuo - Cut
Isii - Six
Mfe - Fair
Itenani - Nine
Kere - Create (English "create" comes from Latin creare)
Iko - Cup
Uwa - World
Eme/Meh - Make

...

NONE OF THIS IS ''coincidence''.

It is because ALL foreign languages are derived from AFRICAN languages, because AFRICANS are the world's original people, and EVERYONE IN EUROPE, ASIA, AMERICA is descended from ANCIENT BLACK AFRICAN SETTLERS.
