	Austric languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Austric language superfamily is a large theoretical grouping of languages primarily spoken in South East Asia and the Pacific.
		The Austric superfamily was first proposed by the German missionary Wilhelm Schmidt in 1906.
		He showed phonological, morphological, and lexical evidence to support the existence of an Austric superfamily, but the lexical evidence was not accepted by the larger linguistic community.

	Sumerian and Austric Language
		Both the Australoid and Austric type are found in India, where the former is known as Dravidian in its less extreme variety.
		As one goes further East, Austrics become mostly round-headed due possibly to the greater proportion of Mongoloid blood, and the Austronesians of the South Seas are primarily round-headed.
		In Austric, this is a common alteration between different languages like hami "we," and kami "we;" and hamu "you," and gamu "you." M.

		Austric is the name of a proposed language phylum that includes the Austroasiatic (AA) and Austronesian (AN) language families.
		The languages of the AA family are spoken in India, the Indo-China peninsula, southern China, and the Nicobar archepelago in the Indian Ocean.
		In the case of Austronesian, he merely renamed a recognized language family previously called Malayo-Polynesian, but in the case of Austric, he proposed a new and previously unrecognized language phylum; hence, Schmidt can be rightly called the father of Austric.

		Austric is the name given for a proposed language family that includes Austro-Asiatic and Austronesian.
		Although the Austric family cannot be said to be fully accepted by the scholarly community it is gaining ground rapidly.
		Some Austric speakers are Negritos and Oceanic Negroids like the Aetas of the Philippines, the Melanesians and some of the Austronesian speaking peoples of New Guinea.

		Austric features can still be seen fairly and clearly among the people of Kerala today.
		Dravidian absorbed many of the beliefs of the Negrito and Austric people, but they were strongly inclined to the worship of the Mother Goddess in all her myriad forms: Protector, Avenger, Bestower of wealth, wisdom and arts.

		Robert Blust, an Austronesianist, has proposed that the Austric homeland was in the three rivers area of southwestern China (the three rivers being the Mekong, Salween, and Yangtze) and the AA homeland in nearby northern Burma.
		On the Austric page, the lexical evidence problem was introduced, and it was stated that the unconvincing nature of the lexical evidence presented by Schmidt and the inability of subsequent scholars to discover a significant amount of additional lexical evidence has precluded acceptance of Austric as a generally recognized language grouping.
		Lexical evidence for the Austric unity does exist and in great quantity, but discovering and presenting it has been and still is hindered by the above-described problems resulting from the nature of the AA diachronic evolution.

		He was interested in my research on Austric languages.
		The Austric languages are a proposed language family that is thought by people like Oppenheimer, Wilhelm Solheim and myself to have occupied Sundaland before the three great rapid rise floods.
		The Austric languages eventually split into two families -- the Austro-Asiatic and the Austronesian.

	A new look at Vedic India
		While the Austric theory proposed here is strongly confirmed by the natural evidence, it also receives support from all the fields normally used in analyzing prehistory.
		The Austric theory offers something that has not been thoroughly analyzed previously, and is a continuation of earlier research for those willing to leap over the walls of Eurocentric scholarship.
		The latter are believed to have the 'purest' forms of original Austric mythology since they were not exposed to the waves of influences that begin to flow to Southeast Asia around the beginning of this era.

		Speakers of Austric are believed to have entered Bengal through Assam from Northern Indo-China.
		The Austrics were succeeded by the Dravidian speakers, who appear to have been concentrated in West Bengal.
		The Aryanzation of Bengal may be said to have begun during the closing centuries of the first millennium B.C. Non-Aryan dialect did not disappear right away.

		The geographical range of distribution of Austric, Indo-European and Sino-Tibetan speakers is extensive; India harbours only a minority of the languages within these families.
		This suggests that Austric speaking people may be the oldest inhabitants of India.
		Austric languages having arrived in India earliest may show the most diversified vocabulary, Indo-European languages the least.

		The number of Santali speaking people is much larger than the number of the people speaking Nepali, Konkani, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Manipuri, which have already got their berth in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution of India in 1992 or before.
		But it is very unfortunate to note that none of the Austric group of language has been included in the 8th Schedule as yet.

		Yet others have attempted to show a genetic relationship between Austronesian and Austroasiatic languages, forming an Austric superfamily.
		Neither the Austro-Tai, nor the Austric superfamilies have gained general acceptance in the linguistic community.
		The Malayo-Polynesian languages tend to use reduplication (repetition of all or part of a word - such as wiki-wiki), and have highly restrictive phonotactics, with small numbers of phonemes and predominantly consonant-vowel syllables, so that texts are quite repetitive in terms of the frequency of sounds.

		John Bengtson (Association for the Study of Language In Pre-History) concluded the section on Sino-Caucasian morphology with a description of certain morphological features of the Na-Dene languages; again, similarities between the Na-Dene system and the North Caucasian and Yennisseian systems were traced, confirming with near certainty the close relationship between these families.
		Finally, Timothy Usher (SFI Institute) gave a talk on the observed similarities between Sino-Tibetan and the Austric macrofamily (particularly the Mon-Khmer subbranch).
		He presented a large list of lexical parallels between the two families, stating that due to their huge number and close phonetic resemblance, they cannot be coincidental.

		Although we know very little of pre-Aryan Bengali civilization, it is now generally held that the foundations of the agriculture -based village life, which is also believed to be one of the foundations of Indian civilization, were laid by the Nishadas or Austric -speaking peoples of Bengal.

		The anthropologists describe the primitive non-Aryan Bengalees as Austro-Asiatic or simply Austric, according to the family to which their language belonged.
		It is conjectured that this Austric group lived in Bangladesh severaL million years before the country was Aryanized on the basis of caste.
		It was believed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that the Bengalee race was an alloy of the Mongolian and Dravidian races.

		It is sometimes suggested that they are related to the Austronesian language family, in a family called "Austro-Tai", or even part of a larger Austric superfamily.
		However, proposals for the Austric relationship do not conform to the comparative method.
		Roger Blench suggests that, if the more limited Austro-Tai connection is valid, the relationship is unlikely to be one of two sister families, as has traditionally been proposed.

		Austric is finally coming out of the doldrums of scholarly caution.
		If some of us think that the borrowing of pronouns is rare or non- existent, that is still inherently more likely than the case of the Austric infix.
		Blust tips the balance because he has great prestige as the finalizer of AN taxonomy and as a very competent but careful law-abiding 'professional'.

	Taiwan and Her People, Vanii, ProutWorld (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		According to linguisticians, Taiwanese aborigines are the Austronesian family, which includes peoples from the island of Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa, all the way to tiny, isolated Easter Island, and extending north to Taiwan, Southeast Asia and Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, and southwards to New Zealand.
		Interestingly, Shrii P. Sarkar mentions that the Austrics originated from Asia and the aborigines and Maoris of Australia and New Zealand all belong to the Austric branch, which did not have its own script and they became familiar with Roman script when Christian missionaries came in contact with them while proselytizing.
		It was reported by BBC in 1998 that Dr. Geoffrey Chambers at Victoria University in Wellington, NZ thought the origin of Maoris was in China, but he told ABC in 2003 that it was in Southeast Asia or mainland Asia.

		The reason is simple: such a wide-ranging Austric grouping has no justification in my view - the proposed genetic relationship is too uncertain.
		Its appartenance to Austric (see more on this below) is problematic, and I do not accept it.
		At this stage, however, there is no need to subdivide it, and certainly no evidence to merge it with another family.

		The stilt house is the nearly ubiquitous rural house type among Austric speakers in both mainland and island Southeast Asia.
		Even in places like Java, Bali and Vietnam where Austric speakers now build ground-built houses, there is ample archaeological evidence that their ancestors built stilt houses in earlier times.

		The Aetas, before adopting Austronesian tongues, may have spoken Indo-Pacific languages, which was dominant in the Pacific and SE Asia before the arrival of the Austronesian mariners and other Austric groups from the mainland.
		As you go further away from Taiwan and the larger Malay archipelago, the less Austronesian, and the more Indo-Pacific the people are (whether by genetics of linguistics).
		Austric (I call Asiatic) might have originated as distinct from Australasian, and Indo-Pacific in the SE Asian mainland, coming from the west.

		There are two other sources of language in India – the Austric (from the regions near Australia) and Sino-Tibetan speeches.
		In fact, the Dravidians and these two groups had been living here much before the Aryans came riding in.
