I would like to thank you for joining this community and, at the same time, I'd like to thank you for having such a wonderful introductory thread. It would seem that you have led quite a few members on quite the intellectual and geographical journey.
I'd like to take a complete shot in the dark and ask whether you are part of the ancient Nehri peoples of the mountaineous regions of Northwest Afghanistan? The Aryans were from this region.

Languages die like rivers
Words wrapped around your tongue today
Are broken to the shape of thought
Between your teeth and lips speaking
Now and today
Shall be faded hieroglyphics
Ten thousand years from now.

Ninety percent of the world’s languages are expected to become extinct in the next hundred years. The reasons are complex; the implications are even more so. Culture, memory, identity and a host of other issues surround these extinctions and a sense
of panic attends the discussion.
