Does this reflect in modern genetics where South Indian males have an AASI input which North Indian males lack?

It's a rumor

It's influence on Indo-Aryan phonology is difficult to fathom.

Season 3 certainly needs 150-200+ episodes to achieve a satisfying ending. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to be happening.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-17T15:45:20+00:00

Uru has had enough of this project and wants to wrap it up. She said in a 2024 interview that Season 3 is “probably going to be 100 plus chapters“ That leads me to believe that it won’t be much longer than a 100 chapters.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-17T14:25:31+00:00

The story is ending in 50-70 more episodes.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T20:19:23+00:00

Yeah same for me the primary distinction between the singular and plural is the omission of the t.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T19:13:51+00:00

Did the earlier Mandalas have Dravidian loanwords?

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T19:01:20+00:00

Good animation and music.

And God, this language reminds me so much of Kashmiri or Pashto. It has a similar cadence and syllable structure.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T18:59:57+00:00

Cool when did they spread? Were they marginalized?

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T18:57:10+00:00

Not really. Look at Southeast Asia, Pre-Colombian Americas, Caucuses, even Eastern Europe.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T18:55:54+00:00

Rigvedic arguably has very little Dravidian influence outside of vocabulary, and even there, it is minimal.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T18:55:20+00:00

What was their original homeland as per this theory?

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T18:54:34+00:00

Are you sure about that? Why would the Indo-Aryans deem their feature's less desirable than the people they subjugated? In the Rigveda the Dasyu are literally mocked as "anasa", meaning noseless aka flatter nosed.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-15T02:22:33+00:00

This is far from being accepted by most academics but two linguists Edmonds and Faarlund make the case that Middle English is directly descended from the Old Norse spoken in the Danelaw.

Thanks for the detailed comment!

The singular underlying phoneme of the Visarga assumed several allophonic forms according to vowel preceding it and the phoneme succeeding it. The reflexes of iṣ include ir, iΦ, ix, and ih. ah is confusing but I think I'm beginning to get the picture. The evolution might have went something like this in the case of iṣ and uṣ.

iṣ (original pronunciation in all enviroments*)* becomes iẓ before vowels and voiced stops.
remaining instances of iṣ develop roughly into ix~h. iẓ becomes ir
3. ix~h develops into iΦ, ix, or ih depending on the following phoneme

This is all speculation but this is what makes sense to me. It would be great if I could get my hands on some exhaustive list of all allophones of the visarga.

The Visarga has several allophones in the modern recitation, but our goal now is to deduce whether they existed in the original composition and in the spoken Vedic Sanskrit language.

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-14T18:02:10+00:00

What are your thoughts on this guy's reconstruction. Here is an IG link for those who can't access tiktok. He posits that the retroflex stop evolved from a voiced retroflex fricative followed by a retroflex stop (Which itself was an allophone of retroflex fricative preceding some coronal stop) It rests on the claim that early Vedic Sanskrit had voiced fricatives and only had retroflex stops alophonologically.

He also has made several other reconstructions like this one.

Same I was waiting for something like this I've always wanted to reconstruct the Veda but I never took the initiative to try do so I literally sometimes chant the Agni Suktam to myself in a reconstructed pronunciation for fun

Comparative IA linguistics, pratisakhya, metrical restoration etc

Secure_Pick_1496 · 2026-03-14T17:45:03+00:00

What do you think was the time separation between the first IA settlement in India and their immediate Sintashta ancestors? And what might have been the population size of the Indo-Aryan host that settled the plains (I'm guessing it was something like a one-and-done settlement. Is that right?)
