Ancient natural languages are believed by many to encode advanced scientific knowledge.
These languages are natural in the sense that the words and their meaning represent the same thing. I am still trying to understand what this really means. How can we cognize this concept?
It is as if merely thinking of a word in these languages allows one to understand/know completely what it represents. Is it the written word or its oral form?
For ex. assuming that a word written in AE glyph say Neter had a unique sound equivalent as it was spoken in ancient times and not the modern version, does that mean if we utter/recollect the sound in our mind or project the glyph we would know its meaning immediately.
Is this a correct interpretation?
Ancient Oriental masters have taught that meditating on words written/spoken in ancient languages like sanskrit, senzar lead to a natural understanding of its meaning. How does this happen?
Is sumerian cuneiform also an example of a natural language in the above context?
Going by the common feature, are these languages actually related in a deeply fundamental structural form that is not clearly evident and hidden behind the diverse alphabets?
How can this be determined? Is it possible by comparative analysis of the basic sounds that make up their alphabet scripts and actually going much deeper to even smaller scales of sounds to determine common sound patterns. Sound graph comparisons?
I have not progressed much beyond this level but do have some ideas that i am working on. Will post as the thoughts become clear.
Any suggestions, comments on what has been duscussed so far are welcome.
