According to this theory:
Semitic languages such as Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, and possibly Greek and others are believed, according to this theory, to have emerged as a result of distortions or divergences in the pronunciation and understanding of the Holy scriptures. The language most closely resembling the original sacred language is referred to as "Turkish" within the scope of the theory because of expected phonetic and grammatical resemblance. But some characteristics of this language could be lost in modern Turkish. It is highly likely, the theory claims, that the prophets Jesus and Moses were either born into this language or spoke it independently. The theory also posits that ordinary humans are born with an innate grasp of grammatical structures to some extent.
The Turkish Language Theory is similar to the Sun Language Theory proposed by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
¶ Potential reasons for why it is not known:
- In the past, written texts could be read by very few people, and the language taught by the prophets was forgotten before it could spread in periods without prophets or was manipulated by political authorities.
- Due to Turkish being a completely regular language, Turkish texts are prone to being read in different ways or in a formulaic manner.
- Accumulated knowledge has been systematically destroyed multiple times throughout history.
- People tend to focus on topics they can generally understand and specialize in. They tend to avoid subjects that are hard to prove, seem unlikely, or are difficult to research—especially complex topics that appear unsolvable.
- Empires like Rome at times systematically and comprehensively destroyed cultural entities.
- People are psychologically and behaviorally highly troubled. (Those who oppose this theory without reason should question themselves and find out why.)
- People engaged in this field are generally more obsessive and fanatical compared to others, and people tend to trust such individuals.
¶ Reasons that lead one to consider this theory:
- In Semitic languages, words are formed by derivation from simple roots, and while this can be understood when reading the text, the pronunciation often makes it difficult to distinguish these roots.
- There is a general consensus that the sacred texts that gave rise to these languages were initially read in very different ways and only later became standardized.
- There are many unexplained phenomena in the understanding of these holy texts today.
- There is no reason not to consider this theory.
- These languages appeared on the historical stage alongside their respective holy books.
This theory can only be clarified—if it is correct—by decoding the Turkish reading of the sacred texts or by understanding the sacred texts as structured compositions. However, it is not currently possible to draw conclusions from linguistic isolation experiments or observations aimed at understanding whether people are born with innate grammar knowledge, due to limitations in available data.
As of now, there is no evidence that these texts can be read in a way that supports this theory.
