Exact copies of the alphabets of the Slavic languages

On a tip from the reader, we came up with an interesting old book. It is called “Pantography; containing exact copies of all known alphabets in the world; together with an English explanation of the specific action or influence of each letter: to which are added the samples of all authentic spoken languages."

This book was written by Edmund Fry (1754-1835), the founder of the English type-founder and published in London in 1799.

Pantography is the art of copying drawings using a pantograph. This is how it looks:

The book contains over two hundred alphabets. At the very beginning of the book, Edmond Free gives a list of the sources he uses. There are a lot of them. How he himself qualifies the languages known in his time:

“If we name different dialects of different peoples inhabiting certain parts of the world, the number of these languages is really great; and it would be futile and useless to try to study them all. To begin with, we will name the main ones, of which there are only 4. They can be called primary sources or mother languages and it seems that all other languages spoken in Europe originated from them, namely: Latin, Celtic, Gothic and Slavic. However, I would not like to believe that they were passed on to us without any changes, from the confusion of languages in the building of the Tower of Babel. We expressed our opinion that there is only one truly original languagefrom which all other languages were formed. The four languages mentioned are only the ancestors of the languages that are now spoken in Europe.

From the Latin language came Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and French;

From Celtic - Welsh, Goidel, Irish, Brittany or Armorican (Armorica or Aremorica is a historical region in the north-west of present-day France - approx. Mine) and Waldens (south of France - approx. Mine).

From Gothic - high and low Dutch; English, which is also enriched with borrowings from many other languages; Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic or Runic.

From Slavic - Polish, Lithuanian, Bohemian, Vandal, Croatian, Russian, carnish, Dalmatian, Lusatian, Moldavian and many others.

Currently, in Asia, they mainly speak Turkish, Tartar, Persian and modern Arabic, Georgian, Armenian, modern Indian, Formosan (the language of the aborigines of Taiwan, this is how they looked:

Etruscan 2

"These characters, which are written from left to right, says Theseus Ambrosius, can be found in many libraries in Italy."

Etruscan language 3

"According to the above authority, we also have this symbol, which is written from right to left."

Hunnic language

"These people came from Scythia to Europe, and in the time of Valentinian, in 376 AD, under Attila, great destruction was made in France and Italy; but then, following the example of Pope Leo, they settled in Pannonia, which is now called Hungary from the Huns. This alphabet is copied from Fournier, v. 2.p. 209."

If this is the language of the Huns. Huns are another name for the Slavs:

“In the first book of“Wars with the Goths,”he writes about the Slavs as follows:“Meanwhile, Martin and Valerian arrived, bringing with them one thousand six hundred soldiers. Most of them were Huns, Slavinis and Antes, who live on the other side of the Danube, not far from its banks. Belisarius, greatly delighted at their arrival, considered it necessary to fight the enemy. " (Mavro Orbini "Slavic kingdom", 1601)

As well as the Alans:

In those parts of the field, the fields are always abundant in grass and fruits, so wherever their path goes, they do not lack either forage or food. All this gives rise to fertile land, washed by many rivers. All who are of no use stick to the baggage and do the work they can, as well as simple and light assignments; young people learn to ride, because, according to their ideas, walking is worthy of contempt, and they are all the most skillful warriors. Almost all of them are large-built, have beautiful facial features, light brown hair and a very quick and slightly frightening look. In everything they are similar to the Huns, but more cultured than those in food and clothing. Hunting, they reach the Meotian bog, the Cimmerian Strait, Armenia and Media. (Mavro Orbini "Slavic kingdom", 1601)

The language of the Huns is the language of the Scythians. And it is similar to the Etruscan language. I do not know if the identification of the Etruscan and Hunnic alphabets was taken from the ceiling, or in the 18th century, the Etruscan language was quite a READABLE language. The Prussian language is mentioned in the book, but the appearance of its alphabet for some reason is not given (perhaps the reason is that it, like Lusatian, is Slavic?) Only three different readings of the "Our Father", written in Latin letters (but I don’t know in what language, definitely not German):

Prayer "Our Father" in Prussian

Here is what Mavro Orbini writes about the Prusians:

“After defeating them in battle, it was first introduced in PrussiaChristianity together with the German language, the language of the Slavs of the Prussians was soon suppressed »

Slavs lived in Europe (like Turkey) in the recent past. The "Romans" and "Greeks" came to these territories later, displacing the Slavs from them, and attributing their stay in this territory to ancient times. Turning the facts inside out: the conquerors were declared defenders, and the defenders were conquerors. However, this is not the only case, but rather a widespread phenomenon in our "history".

Several variants of the Tartar language are presented in the book:

Tartar language 1

The Tartar alphabet mainly uses Arabic letters. The attached sample is the Lord's prayer.

The Arabic language was quite used in Tartary. Many sources speak about this. But this does not mean at all that the tartars were Arabs. Samples of the Tartar language 2-4 are the texts of the Our Father prayer written in Latin letters: literary prayer reading, prayer in the Tartar-Ostyak language and in the Chinese style - Tartar Chinese? I don't know Chinese, and I'm not a linguist at all, so it's hard for me to judge the content:

"Our Father" in Chinese style

But it doesn't sound Chinese at all. Although, perhaps, the reason is that in the 18th century in Europe they did not yet know what language the Chinese spoke? The Chinese alphabet is also not shown in the book. I don’t want to conclude that both the Chinese language and the Chinese alphabet were invented later?

Tartar language 5

“Manchu tartars use the same alphabet or symbols as Great Mughals, and write from top to bottom, in the manner of the Chinese. The appended is an example of initial letters. French Encyclopedia, Ch. XXIII."

Tartar language 6

“A sample of the middle letters of the Manchu tartar alphabet. French Encyclopedia, Ch. XXIII."

Tartar language 7

“Sample of final letters of the Manchu tartar alphabet. French Encyclopedia, Ch. XXIII."

The Great Mughals are geographically linked to India. Another proof in the piggy bank that the language of Tartar, like the Scythians, and perhaps all the Slavs before Cyril and Methodius, was Sanskrit. Similar?

More about Tartar, Scythian and Sanskrit in the article "Petroglyphs and ancient writing of Siberia." It turned out that the Georgian language is also related to the Tartar language.

Georgian language 1

“This alphabet is formed from the Greek language, according to Postel, who says that Georgians use this language in their prayers, but in other cases they use Tartar and Armenian letters … This specimen is almost Greek, both in name and in image, and was taken from an ancient book of travels to the Holy Land by a monk named Nichol Huz, 1487. Duret, p. 749. Fourn. v. 2.p. 221"

Georgian language 2

“This and two subsequent alphabets, according to the French encyclopedia, are used among Georgians and are written from left to right; but Fournier says that this name is taken from the name of the martyr Saint George, whom the Iberians chose as their patron and consider their Apostle.

The alphabets in which these are only capital letters are called sacred because of their use in deciphering the Holy Books."

"Georgian language 4. This is the usual italic type used today (18th century)"

In my opinion, has something in common with the verb?

Modern Georgian language:

Another language, in my opinion, which has similarities with Slavic:

Welsh 1

“The alphabet of these primitive letters contains 16 root symbols and degrees, which have 24 secondary modifications or modulations, making up a total of 40; and he went by the name Coelbren y Beirz, the bard sign or BARDIC ALPHABET.

The astute antiquarian naturally wants to know how this curious relic has survived to the present day? The answer to this: in the unknown and mountainous regions of Wales, the system of bardism (membership in the ancient Celtic order of poets? - my note). Is still intact, but better known to the world under the name of druidism, which was, in fact, that branch of bardism, which is related to religion and education. Bardism was universal and contained all the knowledge or philosophy of ancient times; Druidry was a religious code; and ovatism, it is art and science.

The preservation of symbols, perhaps, mainly refers to his own reserves and wealth, whereby tradition is reduced to science.

I am grateful for this and the following entry to my skillful friend W. Owen. F. A. S, whose authority cannot be questioned."

Welsh 2

“The original manner of writing among the ancient English was that the letters were cut with a knife on tablets, which were most often square and sometimes triangular; therefore, 1 tablet contained either four or three lines. Squares were used for general themes and for 4-growths in poetry; the triangular ones were adapted to the triads and for a peculiar ancient rhythm called Tribanus, and Anglin Milvir, or triplet, and warrior poems.

Several tablets with text written on them were gathered together, forming a kind of frame, presented on the attached page. Which was called "Pifinen" or interpreter and was designed in such a way that each tablet could be rotated for reading, with the end of each of them alternately turning on both sides of the frame."

In my opinion, it is very similar to the Slavic runes:

My opinion: British runes are nothing more than Slavic runes. This means that before the arrival of the British in Britain, the Slavs also lived there. And they suffered the same fate as the Etruscans in Italy, the Illyrians in Greece, the Prussians in Germany, the Huns in Hungary, and the Slavs in Moldavia. Or have all these Englishmen, Germans, Italians and Greeks forgotten that they are Slavs? But genetic studies show that they still belong to a different branch, albeit related: R1b, not R1a.
