Prospectus of a Dictionary of the Language of the Aire Coti, or Ancient Irish (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Discover the roots of ancient Irish and its distant links to Iran, India, and beyond.
This prospectus introduces a landmark dictionary project: a study of the language of the Aire Coti (ancient Irish) compared with the Cuti (ancient Persians) and allied tongues such as Hindoo, Arabic, and Chaldean. Authored by Lieutenant General Charles Vallancey, it frames an ambitious claim about Europe’s early connections to the East and the place of Irish within a broader linguistic world. The volume also offers historical context, including the Ogham tree alphabet and notes on how ancient texts and inscriptions illuminate language study.
The work situates language alongside ancient history, drawing on a range of sources and contemporary scholars. It blends philology with commentary on geography, early script, and the travel and exchange of ideas between the East and West. Readers will encounter prefaces, introductions, and textual extracts aimed at supporting a wide view of how languages and cultures interacted in antiquity.
- A clear statement of the book’s scope: language comparison across Irish, Persian, Hindoo, Arabic, and Chaldean tongues.
- Historical framing that connects linguistic ideas to ancient Europe and the East.
- Discussion of the Ogham alphabet and other script-related topics.
- References to scholarly contributors and the author’s dedication to public readers.
Ideal for readers of historical linguistics, Celtic studies, and early language histories seeking context for how Irish might fit into a larger ancient world.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of historical linguistics and cultural connections, exploring the intriguing theory that the ancient Irish people originated from Asia. The author meticulously examines linguistic evidence, comparing the Irish language to Chaldaic, Arabic, and Sanskrit, revealing striking similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and even mythology. Through a deep dive into ancient Irish texts and historical accounts, the author traces the possible migration routes of these early settlers, drawing parallels with the Indo-Scythians and Phoenicians. This journey of discovery unveils shared cultural practices, including the worship of deities like Baal and the construction of megalithic monuments reminiscent of those found in other parts of the ancient world. The author challenges conventional narratives of European history, arguing that the Irish language and culture hold clues to a much older and interconnected past. By shedding light on the linguistic and cultural affinities between Ireland and Asia, this book invites readers to reconsider established historical assumptions and embrace a broader understanding of human migration and cultural exchange in antiquity. The book's insights ultimately suggest that the roots of Irish identity may extend far beyond the shores of Europe, connecting the island's ancient inhabitants to a vast network of civilizations across the Asian continent.
