Cherokee Language - Native America - Bharat Language Concordance

(This is part of forthcoming book and research papers)

Introduction
============

This author had earlier found concordance of native American language Maya of
South and Meso America. http://tinyurl.com/nvjo6z

http://www.manataka.org/index.html (c)

gives a small dictionary of Cherokee - Native North American Tribal Language.

Concordance was found with Bharath India
Language - Sanskrit. [pANiNI] [dhAtupATha] Monier Williams Sanskrit English
Dictionary, Lexicon Bharathi were used.
=====================
Work on Concordance of Native American South and North with Bharath India
languages started in real earnest 5 years back after a strange discouraging
response from a member of an e-group. The author of this book had posted a note
that Maya could be understood better if the [barakhadi] system of [svara]
[vya~jjana] taught traditionally in India were applied. The response was a bit
caustic and referred an article written by somebody that "nothing should be made
of
languages in distant places having some common words". Statistics and
probabilities were quoted for this. ttp://www.zompist.com/chance.htm And he was
right too!

So how is this work different?

This work does no aim to find same sounding words with a common meaning in the
two rather very, very unequal sets. And could not too!

Barring Maya Preliminary Etymological dictionary that has about 40,000 entries
from the spectrum of "Maya" languages, most other dictionaries range from 500 to
no more than 7000 -8000 listed words!
The Monier Williams Dictionary has more than 3,00,000 entries. Indian
Lexicon compiled by Dr.S.Kalyanraman has 2,19,000 entries. The [dhAtupATha]
lists 2000 odd [dhAtu]. Whitney, lists only 813.

"Nothing would have been made of languages in distant places having some common
words" were it not for the fact there were very, very few matches. When a small
population of words is compared with another that is huge, the probability of
finding same sounding with same meaning ought to have been high. This was not
the case. What does this mean? This could imply that the two sets are different.
And what the author was
doing was comparing mangoes with llamas,tepees and runing bears? That is one
limited viewpoint to close shop.

What if the elements of mangoes were to be compared with the elements of llamas,
tepees, or running bears? Technically, and
scientifically there should be very great commonality. Hence, [dhAtu] from
[dhatupATha] was used. True enough a very high degree of commonality and
concordance was found.

This is not the end of the story but its beginning. [dhAtu] elements need to be
structured to form [shabda] words and [shabda] words with other [shabda] words.
There must be some method in language or grammar.

Being self critical is part of modern scientific method. Being critical of other
workers ought not to devote more than a line. I find it most strange that
linguists of repute in past did not see what is crystal clear or did they? And
in the present?

============== Reconstructions of these are not given. It is left for the reader
as exercise. A clue to the understanding the native American and his language is
understanding that he can pronounce "booze". But he does not. It is innate to
associate "sound" of word with a meaning. so what "booze" does is translated -
"fire burns - this burns (in a different way) (water is liquid this is liquid)"
when retranslated into English it is fire water.
