I say that the english one is from tamil onRu-onnu-oNdu! What do you vedics say now? ?
The German numbers: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn Deutsch - Tamil eins - ains zwei (sometimes zwo) - tsvai (tsvo) drei - dhRai vier - (f)viar fünf - (f)vyun(f)v sechs - seks sieben - sIpen acht - akd neun - noyn zehn - sEn 11 - elf - el(f)v 12 - zwölf - tsvel(f)v So the english numbers are more germanic than of any other. For example take the "shit" (cit -in tamil) - the scots say shite (cait - in tamil) and the germans say Scheiße (caise - in tamil) Further England comes from Angelland which is german meanig the land for angling. And the germans spoke of Angelsachsen (angelsaksen in tamil) which only means the angling Saxons. Saxons are one of the german tribes like the Bavarians, Prussians, Swabians. English is also very near to Low German that is still spoken by some of the north costal Germans. |
