Leibniz Universal Language

Universal Language:
[Leibniz's Essay "On the Universal Science"]

A Universal Language that would reduce ideas to a kind of alphabets of human thought.
These characters to be 'manipulable representations' of ideas.

Leibniz wrote to the French King Louis IV (14th) that the Universal Language is the Chinese ideograms (汉字): as an example below-

The ideogram on the top right is "永" (Yong) in ancient form depicting the picture of a man swimming. The bottom blue ideogram is Water (水), depicting splashing of water droplets.

Language 'Half-Life'

Language 'Half-Life' Formula

T = log N / 2 log 85%
(N= % of vocabulary with common root)

Modern English & German:
N=60%
=> T =1.561 (K-Yrs)
=> 1,561 yrs ago the 2 languages shared the common root @ 449 CE. [confirmed by historians]

Genesis 11:1-9 Tower of Babel (Confusion)l

God confused Noah's descendants from their common language root 'Proto-Canaanite' to different languages:
Phoenician
Greek
Aramaic -> Arabic / Jewish
Chinese
...
1. Chinese / 日耳曼語系 Germanic (English) have common root T = 4,951 yrs ago [尧/舜]

2. Chinese / Latin (French)
T= 3,700 yrs ago [夏/商]

3. Chinese / Persian (Iran) T= 3,100 yrs ago [商/周]

Proof: [Chinese / Germanic / Latin Common Roots]

背bei -> Back

爸ba -> papa

鳳feng -> [Phoin] = Phoenix [Greek]

殁mo (=死) -> Mort (English) / Mort (French)

民min -> man (eng) / mann (German)

核he /ker -> Heart / kerd (Kernel)

酸suan -> sour
