Sun Language Theory

<p>The Sun Language Theory  was a <a href="/facts/Turkish_nationalism/6ypWsy3k">Turkish</a> <a href="/facts/Pseudoscientific_language_comparison/XcAYMLQx">pseudolinguistic</a>, <a href="/facts/Pseudoscientific/kdNzoLeS">pseudoscientific</a> quasi-hypothesis developed in <a href="/facts/Turkey/KIYAWAs0">Turkey</a> in the 1930s that proposed that all human <a href="/facts/Language/IRcTok2q">languages</a> are descendants of one <a href="/facts/Proto-Turkic_language/K6MFy4kU">proto-Turkic</a> primal language. The theory's promotion of Turks as a progenitor race led to it finding favour among Turkish <a href="/facts/Ultranationalist/7AXSnAsT">ultranationalists</a>, who used it to justify their nationalist ideology.
</p><p>It claims that primal language had close <a href="/facts/Phonemic/EXGHlJ7a">phonemic</a> resemblances to Turkish and, because of this, all other languages can be traced back to Turkic roots. According to the theory, this primal language originated among Central Asian worshippers who created it as a means to salute the omnipotence of the sun and its life-giving qualities, hence the name.
