The Oera Linda Forum

In a recently uploaded video, Asha Logos engages in a discourse on the subject of the Aryan peoples, or the Indo-European peoples. The underlying premise of this discussion is the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) theory, which posits that a formerly homogeneous people, speaking a unified language, originated in the Caucasus plains and subsequently disseminated from that region, giving rise to the Germanic languages, Romance languages, and Indo-Iranian languages.

This theory, however, stands at odds with the Oera Linda Book, which is a concrete piece of evidence, not a reconstruction. Consequently, Logos' essay is misguided on its reliance on the PIE theory, forcing him to warp everything to fit that framework. His presumed sole familiarity with American English limits his linguistic research. Nevertheless, he brings up some interesting connections in other contexts; history is more his subject than linguistics. It is important to note that he refers to the Fryas as "the Fryas, or Frisians," which is a misinterpretation of the historical and cultural context of the Fryas.

I don't believe he misunderstands; rather, his learning began with the turn-of-the-century dogmas regarding the origin of the Aryan people, such as the idea that Sanskrit is an Aryan language. Later on, he discovered the Oera Linda Book, and his acceptance and belief in it grew, which may conflict with some of his earlier-held beliefs.

The Oera Linda Book challenges many of these dogmas. One common belief is that Indian Sanskrit is the original Aryan language, both orally and in writing. However, the Oera Linda Book calls this into question by suggesting that the Aryans arrived in India east of the Punjab, where an established society already existed. The Germanic people had to adhere to the local customs, indicating that they already had their own language. This implies that their language was most likely influenced by the Aryan language, not created by the Aryans. What supports this idea is the written form of Indian Sanskrit itself; its characters look vastly different from those used in the Oera Linda Book and more closely resemble ancient Egyptian Sanskrit. You can find a comparison between Indian Sanskrit and ancient Egyptian handwriting in this link (ref 1). This leads me to believe that Indian Sanskrit likely derives from the Finda's writing system (In her time, Finda also devised a script. But it was so pompous and full of flourishes and curls) but may have some influence from Frya's language.

From what I have observed, Asha Logos has become more invested in the Oera Linda Book and is gradually moving away from the Abrahamic historical narrative.

I agree Coco, that it was odd how little he actually referred to OL,
