A, a

Very first letter in all European languages

Origin

A, a is the first letter in Russian. It has upper and lower cases.

The Transition

From Indian a to Arabic alif (1700 B.C), Hebrew aleph (circa 1700 B.C), Phoenician aleph (1600 B.C) and Greek Alpha (800 B.C)

back to Roman and English A, a

Indian spoken sounds are tens of thousands of years old. Their age is based on the cave art and paintings at Altamira, Fort de Gaume, Les Trois Freres and Lascaux near the Pyrenees Mountains and Willendorf in Austria. Some of the findings at Lascaux Cave have been Carbon-14 dated to be 15,000 years old. Carbon-14 method is good for determining age upto70, 000 years.

Pyrenees Mountains are located in Western Europe between France and Spain. Basque people speaking an ancient language called euskara, French and Spaniards live in the vicinity of these mountains. We will show that all the above languages, euskara, Spanish and French have origins in India. Most linguists call euskara an ‘isolate’ language meaning that it is not related to any language on our earth. That is because they never looked at Indian languages.
