Additional theories on the language

According to the historian Drusilla Dunjee Houston, the Old language of Anu (Anu means "this, that" in the Aboriginal Bankon language) was brought to Egypt and Kerma (Nubia) by the Old Race of Hindu-Kush. The Hindu Puranas speak of the Kushites going to India before they went to Egypt and Kerma.

These Hindu-Kushites were priests in Egypt. It is an admitted fact that the Ancient Egyptian religions have been influenced by the Atharva-Veda, the religion of the Ancient India. Manduka (the Bankon Chiefdom name) is part of the Atharva-Veda group. Bankon, Bo, Bon and Manduka are closely related to the ancient Hindu religion. According to the Hindu Puranas, Manduka was also a non-Aryan Kingdom of Ancient India.

The languages expert Mrs Lilias Homburger wrote that Bankon is a Kumaoni (KUM) language. The Fact is that many Abo Bankon bear the names of Nkoti and Koti; François Nkoti is the name of the Mayor of Bonalea, the Abo commune. Nkoti and Koti belong to the Kumaoni Rajput clans of Bankoti and Mankoti. Koti is also the name of a village of Upper Egypt.

According to the British explorer, administrator and great Bantu linguistic expert, Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston (1858-1927), "Bankon has been strongly influenced by the languages of the North-East of Africa".

Its relationship to the more typical African Eastern Bantu languages may be deduced from the following table of noun-classes :

Prefixes	English	Bankon	Ganda	Nyanja	Swahili
Mu	Man	Mut	Omu-ntu	Mu-ntu	M-tu
Va	Men	Bot	Aba-ntu	A-ntu	Wa-tu
Mu	Heart	Muem	Omu-tima	M-tima	M-tima
Mi	Hearts	Miom*	Omi-tima	Mi-tima	Mi-tima
Ki	Thing	Ki-om*	Oki-ntu	Chi-ntu	Ki-tu
Vi	Things	Bi-om*	Obi-ntu	Zi-ntu	Vi-tu
Ni	House	Ndaw	Onju	Numba	Numba

Mut the Egyptian is different from Omu-ntu, Mu-ntu or M-tu;

Bot is different from Aba-ntu (Bantu), A-ntu or Wa-tu;

• OM is the Atharva-Veda Sacred Syllabe.

WIKIPEDIA MAY CENSOR MY ARTICLE "NKON" BUT THESE ARE REAL FACTS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Capetien (talk • contribs)

My opinion is that this article which classify Bankon in the Bantu group languages is a non-sense. Abo, as all Aboriginals, is Proto-Austroasiatic or Proto-Austronesian.

This article is a copy of the non-sense regional classification of Malcolm Guthrie : North African languages together, West African together, East African toegether, Central African together...without considering the peoples who are located in Africa at present times have migrated several times from one country to another country in the ancient times.

THese are the meanings of Bankon, Abo, Abaw, Bo and Bon; with all due respect to the Bantu peoples, none of these meanings is Bantu :

Bankon means "entwined roots" in Japanese.

Abo means "pater, father" in Syriac and Old High German. The name became popular in the Middle Ages when the heads of religious orders adopted it. The French form is Abbé.

It is the word Abo , city, which, with the article prefixed, becomes Tabo, or Thebes, the capital of Ancient Egypt. The word still remains in Medineh Tabo, the village in the western suburb of that city.

Abaw means "father" in Hebrew.

The Bo, or Bodhi, is the tree under which, according to tradition, Gautama, the Buddha, was sitting when he gained enlightenment. In India, the Bo Tree is united in marriage with the palm.

Bön is the oldest spiritual tradition of Tibet. Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, recognized the Bön tradition as the fifth principal spiritual school of Tibet.

A website will be soon opened in order to help Bankon to recover its own history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.186.39.230 (talk) 20:56, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Creating your own website to explain your theories sounds like a good idea: please note that Wikipedia doesn't accept original research. Thanks, MuffledThud (talk) 21:24, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

All linguists and anthropologists who know the Abo Bankon wrote that they are not a Bantu people. Malcolm Guthrie alone asserts that Bankon was Bantu, without having tested their language!!! According to the rule of the majority, the Guthrie's classification of this article must be removed and replaced by the Johnston's classification.

Thanks for the website, I think the Bankon will really appreciate. But I also think that it's important to have a page in Wikipedia; this place is for everyone. Egyptologists friends told me about this people; I know that Japanese scholars too are very interested by the Bankon (Bankon = entwined roots in Japanese; Shimada Bankon was the well-known Japanese Buddhist priest). Bankon is not an agglutinative language, as most of the Bantu languages; it means that its origin is not Bantu. We must help this people to recover its own history.

Thanks to MuffledThud to respect the rule of the majority. The majority must respect the minority's opinion, but the minority too must respect the majority's opinion. Happy New Year to everyone, Capetien (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:24, 7 January 2010 (UTC).

It's OK, the Malcolm Guthrie classification must be removed from this article and replaced by the Johnston's. MuffledThud is in minority, he must respect the majority's opinion and stop doing vandalism. De bourbon-valois (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC).

KUM = Kumaoni [1]
