Let's study Slovenian language


Slovenian language is spoken in Europe, mainly in Slovenia.  It is interesting to observe so much similarity in Slovenian and Sanskrit.  As you will observe below, the words in Slovenian have exactly same pronunciation and meaning as in Sanskrit.  This can not be a mere coincidence.  This similarity between the two languages compel us to believe that at one time in the past the people inhabiting the two parts of the land were practicing the same customs, their philosophical thinking and religious practices were same.  The languages of their philosophical, socio-religious expressions was also inherently same, only the name of the languages being different.

The following is only a small effort in this direction.  Much more needs to be done.  The people of the Europe had the same religious practices, philosophical thoughts and same languages spoken as were in ancient India.

The enormous Vedic and Sanatana literature that finds its expression through Sanskrit language is still live in India.  The ancient classical literature of the forefathers of the native people of the Europe is almost lost.  There is hardly any scriptures alive today pertaining to the ancient great classical civilizations of the Europe.
