LANGUAGE IS MY HOMELAND
LANGUAGE IS MY HOMELAND As Wilhelm Humboldt said; “The true homeland of a nation is its language, language is a powerful entity that expresses the national wish. "When the national language disappears, the national feeling may soon be lost." Language is a living phenomenon, it is alive and dynamic. Languages live and grow with people, migrate, and during that migration, they blend with the culture of the new geographies they visit and create themselves in accordance with the new conditions. For example, people who lived in rural areas and later migrated to the coastal region became acquainted with seafood and added new names to their languages, which are the core of the existing culture. Language will be both an element of migration and will grow by being renewed and articulated. If we look at the short history of languages in the world The oldest written language in the world. Currently, the number of spoken languages reaches almost 7000. Its origin dates back thousands of years. Most researchers in various archaeological, historical and linguistic disciplines, and since I am an archaeologist, archaeological data are my triangulation in science, have had difficulty finding the oldest language in history. However, there is close agreement that the oldest written and recorded language was cuneiform. VIII BC. It was discovered in Mesopotamia in the millennium BC. The oldest language with written history is ancient Egyptian. The oldest language still spoken by humans is Tamil. The Sumerian language is the oldest written language, dating back to 3500 BC. The language spread in Mesopotamia, where the Sumerians owned the language, so I named a lineage for them. They were the first people without a cuneiform language. This was after the development of the first cuneiform texts from the figurative writing stage to expressive writing. And named.In cuneiform, because the straight lines drawn on clay tablets eventually took the shape of a nail head.

Language is not only a means of communication, but also an element of establishing the sovereignty of a strong culture in other cultures. Akkadian cuneiform, which is the modern version of Sumerian cuneiform, was used as a writing language by Elam, Hittite (and Luvi), Hurrian (and Urartu), Mesopotamian and their close neighbor cultures. Akkadian cuneiform inspired the ancient Persian and Ugaritic national alphabets. Inductively. These cultures formed the basis for new languages and scripts, such as the Phoenician alphabet. Numerous clay tablets, stelae (such as the one on which the Code of Hammurabi was written), and cuneiform inscriptions were later based. In every period of history, the dominant cultures' linguistic structure has provided dominance over other societies. They integrated their culture into other cultures through language. Language has been migrating for thousands of years. It blended with new cultures on those migration routes and created a new culture. It is not known whether language is a homeland, but it is indisputable that it makes a homeland wherever it goes.
