According to this theory: Semitic languages such as Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic — and possibly also Greek, Armenian, Syriac, and perhaps other languages — actually emerged as a result of distortions or variations in the reading and understanding of holly texts. Jesus, Moses, and possibly other prophets miraculously spoke this language from birth. The reason for using the name “Turkish” within the scope of the theory for this language is the claim that both its regular structure and phonetic similarities place it at a level where it could be classified in the same language family as the others. This theory does not claim that Turkish has been preserved in its entirety. Rather, the languages referred to as Turkish are the least distorted form of that original single language.
The Turkish Language Theory is similar to the Sun Language Theory proposed by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
¶ Historical and Etymological Signs
It is speculated that the miraculous speech exhibited by various prophets as babies or children was referred to at the time with the Turkish word "Bakış" ("to look at each other" or “gaze” or “look”; -ış is reciprocal suffix thus former is ideal meaning.). The hand gesture in the iconic portrait of Jesus is also thought to symbolize the word “Bakış” (as an example, consider eye contact in sign language). Similar gestures can be found in Jewish and Christian cultures. It is suggested that the word “Bekos”, reportedly uttered by babies in the linguistic isolation experiment allegedly conducted by the Pharaoh, and the Ancient Greek word “bakis”, may have originated from the Turkish word “Bakış”. Since Moses was taken from his family as a baby by Pharaoh and later had difficulty speaking with his own people—leading him to use Aaron like translator—it is being considered that the babies in Pharaoh’s experiment might have been Moses and Aaron. (See Exodus 4:14–16.)
The reason this miracle is associated with the word “bakış” is said to be that these prophets, as babies, would mutter this word in a state of astonishment when making eye contact with others. This is because people often mutter the word that is most strongly evoked in moments of sudden surprise. Eye contact is a highly exciting event for babies. (Although normal babies get used to it by the age of two or so, for a baby who doesn’t see many people, eye contact with strangers can remain a source of intense excitement and astonishment for a long time. By the time normal babies begin to speak, they are already used to making eye contact.) Later, those who heard this word might have used it when describing the event to others, leading to this miracle and these prophets being associated with the word “bakış”. In Ancient Greek, the word bakis has precisely this meaning. In fact, the confusion caused by this dual meaning has been noted in various sources. (Also check: 🪬)
While only one language for each evolved from the Torah and the Quran, many different languages emerged from Bible due to Christians being hidden under Roman oppression and dispersed to various regions. Considering that some fled deep into Africa, the extent of the pressure may have been even greater than what current historical sources convey. Very few writings from that era have survived. In later periods, the Crusades targeted Christian groups who had stopped hiding themselves. During the Crusades, there were also incidents suggesting that early Christian records might have been in the possession of European religious authorities. (See: Historical events related to the Turkish Language Theory.)
Although the Roman Empire systematically destroyed such material, the fact that no Bible manuscript from before 300 CE has been found in Turkey is a difficult issue to explain. Some fragments have been discovered in neighboring countries.
In the early period of Christianity, it is known that hidden Christian groups used various coded writings. The general defining characteristic of these groups was concealment. For example, Egyptian Christians are likely called Copts in relation to the Latin word crypto, meaning "hidden." This term is also used to refer to the ancient Egyptian language. Interestingly, the language of African Christians who claim to possess the original Gospels is called Ge'ez, pronounced very similar to Turkish word for secret “giz”. In Turkish, the word kirpi (porcupine) is also etymologically related to the idea of protection. The full name of the animal we call kirpi today is actually oklu kirpi (spiked porcupine). Similarly, the same name has been given to an armored vehicle produced in Turkey. See: crypt. This word is significant because the connection of other words derived from this root to Christianity might seem unclear at first glance. Also the fact that crypt starts with "cry" is whole another topic but very important in context of Quran. If this all is coincidence, everything is. Indeed is but with what?
(Origin of “crypt” is probably paleo hebrew “𐤀” letter. Because it exactly looks like eyelesh (Pronounced as “kirpik” in Turkish.) and it acutally doesn't have a sound normally. It caused problem with understanding texts and later people started saying crypt for things that are not understood thus this term evolved.)
¶ Potential reasons for why it is not known:
- To bots religion is just politics and potentially a political weapon so people considered to posses it targeted throughout history. Especially by people who trained to posses power. (You can ask chatGPT with this condition.) And literate people intentionally targeted many times because they didn't stay silent. (There are many instances in Islamic history where prominent people, even close relatives of prophet, masaccered yet nobody really knows exactly why and this happens shortly after prophets death. Although this is still an improvement considering Christianity is solely based on death of a prophet.) This also explains why Turkish spread over easily in areas with weak central authority and within small communes. (Steppe people).
- 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 more prone to being read in different ways.
- 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.
- People are psychologically and behaviorally highly troubled. (Those who oppose this theory without reason should question themselves and find out why.)
- People engaged in related fields tend to be more obsessive and fanatical compared to others, and other people don't really care much and tend to trust those 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. Which make one question how did this language developed in first place.
- There is a general consensus that the holly texts that gave rise to these languages were 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 but only assumptions.
- These languages appeared on the historical stage alongside their respective holy books.
- These languages has gender system. Something without any utility. Existence of this system even when everything put aside is enough to be suspicious of something is wrong.
¶ State of the Theory
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. However editor posses enough finding to consider Torah is straightout can be read Turkish as it was originally even though it is more complicated for Quran. Because findings are very recent and not organized well enough, they are not yet to be published. Findings are very solid though to extent that there are some Turkish special names that are not found in any historical turkic texts seems like straightout from Torah. (Putting everything aside even the name of Torah actually has almost exactly same meaning in Turkish as Hebrew. Already.) Possibility of overfitting is more then possible at this stage but incomparably less possible than that current undestanding is not underfitting. (Actually current way of reading first underfits and than adds vowel marks to extend anyway so it is hilarious that if you think this is a crazy theory. A judgement totally based on assumptions. Academy's approach is totally like let's see what those cavemen tried to carve so they don't have much expectations for logic nor consistency. This is the classic approach for all ancient texts. Meanwhile they speak a langauge of with gender system and as irregular and inconcistent as one can get. So their standards are pretty low when comes to those aspects.)
"The Hour (end of the world) is surely coming; I will keep it almost hidden, for each soul must be paid for its works. (20:15 Quran, translation: Rashad Khalifa,Although I don't think translation is very accurate as it written in paranthesis it is actually not about end of the world. I won't translate myself. Instead will wait its time to come.)
"What about to come is about to come. None beside the One can relieve it. Are you finding this surprising. Laughing instead of crying while amused. (53:57-60 Quran)
So it sounds like there is nothing we can do except speculate and wait for its time to come. Assuming translations are mostly correct.
