________________ ( 85 ) influences of the pre-Greek language spoken by the pre-Greek Mediterranean people. These influences are foreign to the Greek languages. The Greekāryans appear on the Greek mainland in the Sixteenth Century B. C. The famous battle of Troy was fought and won by the Greekāryans Circa 1183 B, C.9 Minyan ware is found earliest at Troy at lowest layers of Troy VI Circa 1300 B. C.16 This clearly proves that Greek culture flowed from West to East, not from East to West. The speakers of the mother Aryan language did not reach Greece via Asia Minor. They came to Greece from the North. We here witness a parallel course of history during Aryan migrations. Europāryans from their original home travelled to the West. The inactive and docile people remained in the Lithuanian region and the virile and the brave poured down on Greece similarly as the peace-loving Varuņa people remained in Iran and the war-mongering Indra people advanced towards Bhārata. That also accounts for the virility and progressiveness of the Greek and Vedic Sanskrit languages. Vedic Sanskrit does not give the truest picture of the Lithuanian, mother Aryan language. Hittite is the oldest most Archaic known Aryan dialect, Of all the living Aryan languages of the present day world; it is Lithuanian, not Sanskrit, that has kept closest to the basic idiom reconstructed by comparative philology. K. M. Munshi advanced a theory that the Vedic Sanskrit has the largest number of vocables found in the Aryan languages. Vocables of the Aryan speech not common to other Aryan languages of Asia and Europe are found in Vedic Sanskritai. No attempt was ever made by any Indian Home theorist to illustrate this thesis by comparing Vedic Sanskrit vocables with common vocables of Europāryan languages.
