Strong Similarities Between Kongo, Cameroon, Nigerian Languages With Chinese, Japanes

I know I am not hearing and seeing things. However, quite a few people in the field of history and linguistics have pointed out that certain ‘dialects’ in China and languages in Japan, Korea and Melanesia as well as South India are identical to languages found in Nigeria, Ghana, Congo and Cameroon as well as the East African coast and Sudan.

How could that be. After all, the latter languages are all African languages and the former are Asian languages.

Of course in order to answer a mystry, research and reading has to be done.

Why for example do some Koreans, Southern Chinese and Japanese (Melanesians are proto-Negroids, so are Agta in the Philipines and so are some of India’s Indo-Negroid people) have features that are found among particular ethnic groups in Africa today. The Kong-San, Mangbetu, Nuer and others.

There are also many linguistic features that are identical between Chinese, Japanese and some African languages.
In all of them, the suffix and prefix forms are identical.

In the area of names, one finds names like, Kongo, Kong, Kwanza, Kwanju, Kwango, Chango, Shango, Cheng-Cheng, Mingo, Mongo, Chu, Chu-Wong, Chinna, Yang, Yao, Chol, Kung, and many other AFRICAN NAMES ARE SIMILAR TO NAMES LIKE:

Kong, Kwan, Chang, Shang, Cheng, Ming, Chu, Chu Wong, Chin, Yang, Yao, Cho (Korean), Kung These names are Chinse and one is Korean.

Now how could that be?

As for Japanese names and Korean names, many are similar to names found from Sudan to Tanzania.

Most of the names of people in South India, as well as place names and names of certain items are also found in places like Sudan and East Africa.

Interesting coincidence?

nevermind that, how did my Honduras cigar get a camaroon wrapper?

Umm…

Korea used to be a Chinese feudal state in ancient time (although they would never want to admit to that). Vietnam also was one such state. Japan had lots of influence from China since Qin dynasty more than 2000 years ago. It is a known fact that Japan uses Chinese writing and Confucian texts for a long time.

There is a book, which the name escapes me, that suggested Chinese naval expeditions during the Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644 CE) reached as far as North America via African coasts. So…

I can’t put into words how meaningless that is here in this forum. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll tell you how.

In 1421 under the reign of Zhu Di a huge armada of three majour fleets circumnavigated the world.

They mapped it, they made steles and they settled everywhere these sailors bringing language, math, astronomy etc etc. It only makes sense that when a more advanced culture brings something into a less advanced culture, it gets adopted and implemented.

Not that the three year journeys of the treasure fleets permeated all cultures and all civilizations, but they certainly did have a role to play in the grand scheme of things.

alternately, why are chinese people driving motorcars and wearing bluejeans, eating popcorn and watching televisions? they didn’t invent any of these things and yet its amazing! Some of them even speak English!!!

Wow, just think there are old British family names that sound Asian such as Tong, Tam, Lee, Man & Young.
I wonder how they got here perhaps they arrived as survivors from a large Chinese ship which happened to be exploring the North Atlantic.
I think not, Names like the above have been around in Britain for centuries they are not Chinese or Korean they are old names which can be found all over England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland.

Who says we should direct this guy to Juna? You can only imagine what that would be like! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

While I’m not a linguist, as someone who had to do a master’s in East Asian studies I can tell you a few things you are saying are simply not true

While Korean and Japanese are very similar languages (more so than politics even allow they to admit)… they are not linguistically similar to CHinese… I speak Chinese and can NOT learn Korean, have tried dearly to speak to the in=laws. It is a radically different language in every sense

What influences that are Chinese you see in Japanese and Korean are imports that have been crammed into the language. China was and is the most dominant culture in the region. But just like today English is sprinkled in Korean and Japanese, so is Chinese… linguistically they are NOT the same language in any sense

When I was taking Korean language lessons in my futile attempt to acquire the language, I remember one thing, an intro that said that the only thing remotely similar to Japanese and Korean is a sub dialect of Turkish! Attributable to steppes no mads who are ancestors of both Koreans and modern Turks

Thus, I find it hard to believe there are true similarities with any African language

If I remember right, at one time, egypt had a chinese pharaoh. Heck, africa is one of the earliest civilizations, and everything has to come from somewhere, so I don’t see it as unfathomable, though it’s not probable.

10

i’d say

2 things
one korean sounds like hungarian
and two all languages sound very similar if u r not paying attention to whats being said lol:p

This link explains the Altaic language theory that you are referring too.

or perhaps all the Chinese that are in Mauritius did it.

I blame it on the French!

anyway, that whole blob of continents “over there” have been influencing each other for millenia. Whats the big deal if they share a few common sounds in their languages?

Nothing special about it at all.

It’s really a “who cares” kind of subject and not really teribly fascinating.
That’s what happens when peoples migrate all over the place.

The DNA project that is tracing ancient matrilineal DNA is showing that over history, all humans have intermingled at some point. It is also showing that virtually everyone one of us carries around the same strands as the sahn Kalahari bushmen which makes their dna the single common factor in all humans.

even the chines are originally africans in that sense, we all are. dna don’t lie, language and culture gets murky, but matrilineal dna is what it is.

kkk members and nazis may now all go and collectively commit suicide. :smiley:

like i said

hungarian a baltic state along with turkey
listen to it being spoken not necessarily the sound of the words

It is true that there is scientific evidence that supports humanity having its origins in Africa.

that’s likely why it’s called the cradle of civilization.

Well, I think Hungarian and Slovakia women are mighty fine. I don’t care if we speak the same language and as long as I get laid, sign language will be just fine. :wink: :smiley: But then I have heard there’s only Karate and absolutely no Kung Fu in Slovakia. :eek: So… :frowning:
