Germania Semitica
Philologist Giovanni Semerano:
In his Semerano studies he argues that there are similarities and affinities between the lexicons of the Mesopotamian languages, particularly of Akkadian, the ancient languages of Europe, supported by numerous quotations from ancient and modern texts. The big Graziadio Isaia Ascoli, first among the Italian linguists, much appreciated by Semerano, was himself convinced of the "Aryan-Semitic nexus".
According Semerano, due to the continuous evolution of human language, it would not be helpful to the research suggest a "proto-language", which he believes is not really existed and which could still only represent a single moment in what is considered a "linguistic continuum with variations ": the concept and the" proto-language "abstract model should be rather understood as an instrument of statistics applied to the linguistic investigation. Semerano also considers it necessary to consider and investigate possible connections and thus the affinity or kinship, hybridizations, loans, mutual influences with all other contiguous human languages, such as the Afro-Asiatic languages of Africa and non-Indo Asia in a vision "phylogenetically" open.
Considers Indo-European reconstructed by traditional linguists an invented language, without a land without a people who would have spoken and the theory hypothesis kept alive because it is functional to an ideology defined etnorazzista (to other non-Indo-European peoples) and socioclassista and caste (within European societies). According Semerano, the history and the meaning of every human language is utterly and would in the context of all the other languages, which together would form the human language in general. All the world's languages would be comparable because they all belong to the same genus and the human species, regardless of their type, morphology, declensions, once words are broken down into their basic building blocks and the roots are identified, the central themes, I affix.
