The paper I just wrote turned out to be true

Chapter 219 Malay and Austronesian languages

Tasks are vague.

Rewards are also ambiguous.

Life expectancy increased by ten years.

who is the subject
Individuals, or others, or nations.

In short, everything is unknown.

Really a messy task.

After separating from Professor Wu, he returned to his residence.

A room about ten square meters in size.

The buildings that have just been built, the entire camp is very tense, so even if they are experts, the place where they live is relatively ordinary.

Lin Chen didn't care about these details.

He turned on the computer and recorded the information he just got into the computer.

Then, I started searching the Internet for information about Malay language.

"Malay language is derived from filum Austrik. Filum Austrik is divided into two main streams, namely Austroasia and Austronesia (formerly known as Malayo-Polinesia). Austronesia can be divided into 4 types."

The search results show that Malay is spoken in Indonesia.

And the Malay language on the Ark should be two concepts.

and many more.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and continued reading.

".There are several theories that Malay scholars came from the Austronesia ethnic group. They came from the YN province. They came to Southeast Asia in two groups. The first group was Melayu Proto, they came before 2500 AD, the other The reason for the relocation is unknown. Because of food and drink, they chose to live near the estuary, river or sea near the water source. The second group was Melayu Deutro, who came around 1500 BC. The reason for the relocation is unknown. "

His eyes flickered.

Before 2500 BC, that's almost 5000 years ago or so.

The second batch is almost 4000 years or so.

The timing is a little tricky.

He hesitated a little, perhaps, there is some connection between the two.

Also introduced later.

In addition, there are also theories that the Malay language came from the interior of Asia. Some experts and scholars have found that the customs and habits of the inhabitants of the interior of Asia are the same as those of the residents of the Malay Archipelago. These common points are enough to prove that they have the same ancestors.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

One thing came to mind.

I once wrote a thesis about the Polynesians.

The Polynesians, most of the people in the Pacific Islands, the residents of the Malay Archipelago, and even those who have reached the body in the west, all use Austronesian languages.

The source of this language family is in the land of China.

"Is there any connection here?"

Lin Chen muttered softly.

An astonishing idea suddenly popped into his mind.

From the beginning of the thesis I discussed, until now, almost all of them have been used here in Ark, which is a bit of a closed loop.

So maybe this Malay language is really a language in the Malay Archipelago.

As for why no one identified it.

It may be that the language and writing system died out in the process of development.

After all, there are too many words in the south of Huaxia.

In the past, they lived in the tropical rainforest, and after many crises and colonization, they probably disappeared.

Lin Chen thought it was very possible.

He calmed down, it was just an immature guess at the moment, it might be wrong.

It seems that we have to continue to investigate.

Lin Chen began to search for relevant information.

"It's strange that we have to know each other."

While watching, Lin Chen gradually understood why the experts didn't see it.

Today, most of the characters used by the residents of the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian archipelago were established with the help of the colonists, and have lost their original appearance. Various words and grammars are established by referring to Latin and English.

Folk also has most of the Aboriginal languages, which are not included.

Lin Chen thought about it and contacted Professor Huang.

Professor Huang first expressed his congratulations and was proud of him, allowing him to make his own contribution.

Then, enter the topic.

"An expert in Austronesian languages?"

Professor Huang said slowly: "There are also a small number of people who study this direction, which is less popular than the research on oracle bone inscriptions. It seems that Fumin University has experts in this field. Let me help you ask."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Lin Chen hung up the phone, he was ready.

In addition to studying their own history, most domestic scholars have gone to study Western civilization, and even the depth and understanding of the research exceeds that of Westerners themselves.

The diversity of world civilizations is ignored.

Research on other civilizations is lacking.

Next, he gave full play to his circle of friends.

Send help messages in various group chats you have added.

The news of his coming here is hardly known to many scholars.

Lin Chen also couldn't reveal those mysterious patterns.

Just asking if there are people who study Austronesian languages ​​and want to know more.

Most of the scholars in the group chat ridiculed after knowing this.

"Mr. Lin, are you going to attack Nan Dao Xue?"

"Wait for the good news, and hope for new breakthroughs."

Lin Chen: "."

buzzing.

Group Chat: Pacific Rim Civilization

Professor Zhang Guangzhi: @林晨, I know a scholar in related fields. Is there anything I can help to get in touch with.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

He quickly replied: I found a few mysterious symbols, which seem to belong to the Austronesian language, so I want to ask.

next second.

Zhang Guangzhi chatted directly with Lin Chen in private.

A WeChat business card.

"This is a scholar from the National University of Singapore. His research direction is the Austronesian language family. His focus is on those disappearing characters. He is not very famous. I think he is good. You can ask him."

Seeing such a description, Lin Chen was even more delighted.

Just disappearing text would be better.

"Okay, thank you professor."

"You're welcome. I was inspired by you. I am currently studying Indian affairs in the beautiful country. I have made some progress. If we have time, we can chat."

"Uh-huh."

After finishing the conversation, he quickly added the scholar.

Professor Zhang said hello in advance, so seconds passed.

According to Professor Zhang's introduction, this scholar is of Chinese-Indian mixed race, and his father was a laborer who fled famine in the last century, and gradually made a fortune.

Thanks to family education, Chinese characters can be used.

The Chinese name is: Dou Qingyang.

Dou Qingyang came up with a long passage of Cantonese, mixed with a taste of big bastard.

Lin Chen didn't understand at all.

Fortunately, WeChat has a text conversion function.

So, after a simple exchange, Lin Chen sent a mysterious pattern to Dou Qingyang, asking if he knew it.

A mysterious pattern should not be considered a revelation.
Lin Chen looked up the information and contacted scholars to decipher it.

On the other hand, reproduce the magical operation.

An old professor who participated in the meeting mishandled the operation and leaked the mysterious pattern.

Goodman had a cold face, his eyes were radiating chills, and he stared closely at his students.

I was very angry.

In order to decipher this pattern, he recruited his doctoral students and master students to complete this task together, and urged him to do things seriously.

As a result, a student offered a reward for information directly online.

ps: Ask for a monthly pass.
