You're thinking of lithuanian @The Enlightened Shepherd
how do you stand with foreign languages Y'ALL
I honestly never had a deep desire to learn any other than English, unless I'm provided with an opportunity to use it
This whole learning new tongues and getting enligthened thing seemed to me as one giant yuppy scheme
Balto-slavic language kinship with indo-aryan is proof slavs aren't white
Indo-Aryans were White
My theory is they're renegade slaves from the Persian empire
Who fled west
Indo-Aryan peoples were the same thing as European Aryans
they only moved to India, hence INDO-Aryan
Mind blown
Doesn't mean that Europeans = persians
Not today in 2017
But when they split up from central Asia, with their native tongues, they were same people
And that's where we source our tongues from
That's when the whole Proto-Indo-European started splitting into branches
Maybe the Aryans weren't white
They got assimilated into white europe
Of course they are
Like the huns
How does Vedic literature describe Aryan people
As White in skin, of course
ANYWAY
Studies had shown that Slavic people are possibly, among other peoples, also related to ancient Schytians
who were themselves, indeed of Indo-Iranian origin
White in skin
But that would mostly be true of Eastern Slavic peoples
and Western to an extent
I think the original, ur-slavic people, were pretty swarthy
They were described as such
They got assimilated into Europeans
The only description of ancient Slavic peoples describes them the same way as Goths
Untrue
being pale in skin, and of ginger hair
Sec
Procopius - the earliest account of Slavic peoples
He described their looks, their pantheon and their fighting habits
He said they were "ruddy"
i have never seen a swarthy person to be "ruddy" as well
being "ruddy" is a phenomenon of white skin
