This is a fallacy.  Most people don't know this but the Apache and Navajo are actually different bands of the same tribe.  We can converse with each other and understand each other.  There are some words and phrases that are a bit different.  Each band tends to borrow language from the other tribes around them and incorporate them into their particular dialect.  I have had conversations with White Mountain and Jicarilla Apache on several occasions.  I had to concentrate but it's pretty much the same language.  

I know this won't matter to you much but we're not Indians.  People from India are Indians.  We are not from India.  Speaking for myself calling me an "Indian" is quite offensive.  Right up there with "Redskin".  Just sayin'

I've also heard stories of captive Navajos during WWII were questioned by the Japanese and were thought to be of Japanese descent.  There are some words that seem similar but that happens in any language.  There's a word in Japanese, Nandesuka that is similar to a Navajo word nandeskaadi  which means tortilla.  The Navajo and Apache are Athabaskan and our language is an athabaskan derivative.  We came from the North.  Something bad happened because to this day North is the direction of spirits or evil.  When a relative dies in a home it's customary to break out the north wall and then the house is abandoned.  It's considered a ghost house from that point on.  It's considered a bad omen if a coyote crosses your path going North.  North is bad. I think my ancestors fled Western Canada due to a natural disaster or encroaching tribes that threatened to wipe them out.  

There is a hypothetical relation to Siberia ( Dené–Yeniseian) and Athabaskan languages but not intelligible enough to converse.  Tartar is a Turkic language and has no relationship to Dené–Yeniseian or Athabaskan dialects.  Personally I think the gentleman in question heard the Apaches gossiping among themselves and decided it sounded "Chinese".  Then made up the rest.  The fact he said Tartar should be evidence enough of his ignorance regarding linguistics.  

 

Thanks :)  ... as i said I am no linguist . But with the local (main area ) indigenous people's  (and they like to be called  ' Koori / s ' ) similar dynamics that you outline seem to be in play.    The paper I saw comparing Indonesian , I thought mush as you outlined - similarities .  ... besides, the whole thing seemed nearly like a discrediting of local indigenous and pushed their arrival foreward many thousands of years  ( IF it was correct )  , 

Intersting what you said about the north . It reminds me of a GREAT film I saw  ( Pacific islander film )  'The Man That Went South' . I mean, I thought it was great ; no shootem up bang bang car chases ... simple island life,  a man on his journey of self discovery, lots of walking, paddling, hunting, not much dialogue and a fantastic  meeting of 'strangers'  from the north , the east and the west )  . 

Great stuff .... and a very interesting comment on human nature !   ; 

" Dont go east , those men are parrot ****ers ! "

" But the easterners told me not to west because you are turtle ****ers ."

"What ?!  We dont do that , the liars  ! "

" But you say they **** parrots. "

'Ahh yes but they  do   do that ! " 

(The only difference I could detect was that the eastern   dress - a type  of pounded bark cloth material / sarong  - had  squares block printed on it and the western one the squares were overlaid on each other .   One man ' Whats wrong with your   Masi ( bark cloth sarong )  "   - gives him a strange look -   :D . ) 

Could the 'bad' north direction  relate to  seasons ? 

 

Ps.  MWoo  is a young lady .

Personally I feel anyone born here is native American.  I prefer First Nation.  It just seems more equitable all around.  

And as I understand it 'America' is a pretty big place ... not just the USA  ( I always wonder why people from USA have no national name for themselves without appropriating the one that covers 2 continents and many many other countries ? ) . 

' Fist Nation' sounds 'nice and political'    ......   maybe some of the indigenous here could adopt that   ;) 

It has become rather an issue here ... We got peeps white as a ghost going around saying 'I am Aboriginal'  ..... legally it was supposed to be 1/8 ancestory / acceptance & acknowledgement ... all very confusing .  A recent developing trend sounds better IMO ;

eg;   ' I am Bundjalung  "   or  " I am Gunbayngirr  "   , etc .      and   " I am of Bundjalung  descent ."  

 

EDIT:    FIRST nation I meant   :D   .... but I will let the above stand as it is

I am. But fortunately for me, Totah Dine has already explained this is great detail. The only person claiming modern Chinese and any First Nation languages are similar is someone with a book/website/fringe doodad to sell you, probably for $19.95.

--Jaylemurph

Who am I to say yes or no on such a subject ... I was waiting for someone linguist and / or with 'authority' .  MWOO did say  :" ...and you be lucky to be left standing if they hear you say that . " 

Lets consider that she got off lightly .   .... and I dont think he is selling books. 

Lets just give her whats she used to .....

"Americans" just has a nice, easy ring to it. Nothing else really works. United Statesians? United Staters? No, that sounds like a soccer (football) team. Mexico lends itself well to Mexicans, and Cuba to Cubans, and Guatemala to Guatemalans, and Canada to Canadians, and United States to...Americans. Although I think a lot of Brits still think of us as Colonials, but that's so eighteenth century.

Oooooo  no ... the 'vara'  was   specifically designed for colder climates and ....    ohhh     :unsure:

But , what did the 'air burial peoples' do  in the desert with no  mountain tops ?

Oh yeah .... Zoroastrian isnt 'Persian'  .... they were around (supposedly) way before there were any Persians ... or even ' Parsa ' .  If anything they were (or he was )  an Afghan  ..... or a Bactrian ... or    (how far back we gonna go  ? )

yima... 7th menu [manu] yes. what date? 5000 years before troy plus 33 generations before that.  puts him anywhere geographically as long as he was near a melting glacier.

the real vara would of course still exist and be perfectly preserved.  scientists might call it something silly like the garden of eden etc however. silly scientists.

No ... sorry ... I accuse you of not having a name and  cultural mass appropriation !    :angry: 

Anyway , your new Pres might fix that ..... I hear he is going to re name the country after he fixes up your old constitution ?

I am not well versed on the particulars of Zoroastrianism, but I recall reading that based on supposed linguistic evidence the earliest for Zoroaster would be around 1500 BCE, although 1000 BCE seems more agreed (from what i recall). The latest would probably be around the seventh century BCE. A lot of these dates come from the writings of Greeks from late antiquity, so that calls into question their veracity. Other Greek sources place Zoroaster at around 6000 BCE, which of course I wouldn't take seriously. I do recall, however, that he is thought to have come from ancient Iran.

This is all off the top of my shiny head, so some fact-checking might be called for.

Yes, that's right, I forgot. We are now to call ourselves Trumpites. Alternatively it's permissible to use the term "Supplicants of the Orange Demigod." Just the same, a more popular term is now "Acolytes of the Angry Orange Toddler."

And in crafting this satire, I hope I'm not starting a political discussion here. I stay away from that section of UM for a reason!

Good Mazda !  WTF  ... that goes against SO many Zoroastrian and  pre vedic / Zoroastrian religions precepts ..... ! 

May as well did what they did in the Thames and just throw the bodies in a river   ... any Zoroastrian that did that could well  be thrown live into  a tower of silence ! 

A lovely way to go

This is all off the top of my shiny head, so some fact-checking might be called for.

Hard to check facts as it is pre history , the first historical account seems to be  about the 'Pars' emerging from the Zargos into mesopotamia ( and for some reasons, the ' Aria peoples'  never did that before, nor visa versa ) .  They  got pushed into the Medes ( I think, formed alliances and eventually we had Persians taking over the area. 

Earlier sources are heroic epics, myth and scripture ; particularly Vendidad, Shahnameh , etc .

Confused dates may have come about due to Zoroaster actually being a reformer of an already established 'Zoroaster-like'  Aryan religion instead of an originator. 

Zoroaster, as far as I know was always tagged as from near present Afghanistan , not Iran.  It seems their ' capitol '  (homeland , origin, whatever it was  ...... translates as 'first nation' .... but 'nation '  ????  )   was further to the east.  Then it moved west into the southern Kara-kum  ( Turan was supposedly the first 'country' to receive him and his message  and thats pretty much directly north, top silk road east gate / Samarkand area ) .

The first king to accept was Vistasp  ( ? sic  .... sorry , I going off the top of my fuzzy  head here )   and said to be in the area of Bactria. 

Then  the centre for the Arians moved further west into ' Iran' . 

East of Iran, there has been a lot going on there for a long time and we know little about it ;

yes the pari-dhi in paridhi-stha.  vourukasa was a big freshwater sea. its flooding destroyed humanity right.  all you have to do is find a huge vara built around 7500bc. should be easy since it was designed to survive the destruction of humanity.

errrmmm  ... designed to survive  a 'cold period' in the climate  maybe  ? 

Not sure they did the job  ... as they had  move 'down hill'  and to the west . 

I postulate a 'cold snap', a big freeze and drying , then a warming, melts and some resultant flooding  (in the target area )  ...

 

Take your pick ;

  Translation query  ;     'Fresh' water  , or 'sweet' water ?  . 

The Persian Gulf was known in Sassanian times to be sweet water  ,  due to tidal flush and winds clearing its surface . 

If you can show me a pic from the Bundahishn or something  and correlate it to a landform map    (like I did for the Buddhist tanka and  Airyana Vaeja   ;)  )   we might get less 'mythological' .

You dont see a link with horse domestication and Andronova and related cultures ? 

Younger dryas have been postulated , but IMO too early . Then it seems to be warming up to Piora Oscillation , cold and horse domestication .

Ha!  Noah was invented by some released Jews that concocted a political story to take home to whip pagan **** in line.  The 'one God' idea, and the  survival stories, ark/vara , floods   is a patch up concoction :) 

.... or was there some massive flood tale   :unsure:     .....     hmmmmm .... maybe 'Mesopotamian' ?

yima built the first circular vara in a time when he was having problems with lots of cows and with fire. he kept digging a bigger water break for the fire and cows until finally one was wide enough... just in time for the freeze and flood that would destroy it. he built his inground rectangular vara to survive. 

yes i see a horse race track around trypillian "cities". but if i was looking for yima and the homeland of the indo-europeans i would look for the perfect place for an ambitious ancient man

harali where was the freshwater sea abzu and its rectangular abzu enclosure, was a far off place to the west. it was the underworld but before its catastrophe it was paradise

this is the place that survived the destruction of humanity.
