/ehc/,
I want to talk to you guys about an aspect of the Jews creation of their own their own State which I think is often overlooked, but would be extremely valuable to our own European Heritage Community:
A shared, unique language.
You see the Jews resurrected Hebrew. This was a huge deal. It not only set them apart as a people, but it bound them more tightly together as well. The symbol of having their own language which could be traced back to their earliest origins must have been truly profound for Jews who had grown up speaking one language, but knew their people had once spoken an older more ancient language before the Diaspora.
The EHC finds itself in a similar position to the Jews back in the early 20th century. We all share a cultural and genetic bond, yet many of speak difference languages. This can become troublesome.
I propose that we begin to utilize a form of resurrected Proto-Indo-European (PIE) - Modern Indo-European.
>http://dnghu.org/en/indo-european-language-grammar/Modern Indo-European(MIE) is extremely close to PIE which was the root of virtually all European Languages (Germanic Languages, Latin, Greek, etc…). Indo-European is OUR language.
MIE is a force that can further unite our cause and has the power to help heal divisions. Much like the creation of Modern Hebrew did for the Jews.
Sure it will take some time to implement and English will be for some time our primary mode of communication. But I think our future is in the adoption of MIE.
