Of the Firfl I nhabitants, Language, the feme country, feme men pronounce their words broader, loiter, harder, quicker or flower, than others: and forae are unable to pronounce this or that letter. Thefe accidents, by example and imitation, bring on a change of vowels and confonants; whence a language foon becomes very unlike to what it was at flrft. But when we add to this the increafe of words, which new arts, new cuftoms, produced; the privilege mankind has always taken of lengthning or abridging words at pleafure; the care that fome nations took to improve their language; to add harmony to their periods, by compound words, by lonorous terminations, inflexions of nouns and verbs, and other properties of grammar and rhetorick :T hofe, which were only dialects before, are now fo difguifed, that they become different languages.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that European nations can trace their roots to a common Scythian origin. The author, a respected scholar, asserts that the people of Europe are descended from the Scythians, a nomadic people who inhabited the vast Eurasian steppe from the 7th century BC onward. The author presents compelling evidence from language, religion, and cultural practices to support this claim. The book explores the historical context of the Scythians, their migrations, and their interactions with other cultures. It also examines the development of language and religion in Europe, arguing that both were influenced by the Scythians. The author concludes by arguing that understanding our Scythian heritage is essential for understanding the history and culture of Europe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
