The Origin of Decimal System in India

Part 1

Copyright © 2007 by Rangi Ranganath

rangiranganath@yahoo.com

The decimal system is based on a ten-number system from zero to nine. The word decimal derives from the union of Indian Sanskrit dasha ‘ten’ and English numeral which means ‘symbol representing a number’. English numeral derives from Arabic nummee ‘coin’ which becomes Latin nummus ‘coin’ and German die Nummer ‘number’.

Other languages follow Indian Sanskrit dasha ‘ten’.

In India 

Indian Hindi/Urdu das ‘ten’

The d  in all above Indian languages is pronounced as soft d as in this.

Greek pronounciation of d is the same.

All the following words uttered outside India mean ‘ten’ or ‘related to ten’ as shown. 

 Russian desyat

Spanish diez

Latin decem

English prefixes deca-, dece- and deci- ‘related to ten’

Polish dziesiec

French dix

Greek deka

How Indian s/sh sounds  become Latin and Greek k sound will be explained a little later in this part of the article.

Thus deci (from Indian Sanskrit dasha) + English part mal (from numeral from Arabic nummee,

Latin nummus and German die Nummer) = English decimal

Indian Sanskrit dasha modified as dec is present in all the major languages of the world.

Examples

c has mostly s and sometimes k sounds.

Latin December, tenth and final month of the old Roman calendar

In 45 B.C. it was replaced by the Julian calendar with 12 months and 365 days.

See also Some Interesting Historical and Linguistic Facts at the end of this part

to see how September, October and November have Indian origins.

Latin decempeda ‘ten-foot measuring rod’

Indian Sanskrit paadah means ‘foot’.

Latin decempedator ‘surveyor who uses the decempeda’

Latin decemplex ‘ten-fold’ 

Latin decemcalmus ‘having ten lowrocks’

A lowrock is a device to hold the oars in place in a row boat. It is also called an oarlock.

Latin decemprimi ‘ten chief men in the senate of a municipality or colony’

Latin decemvir ‘ten magistrates in Rome’

Latin decemviralis ‘relating to the decemvir’

Latin decemviratus ‘office of the decemvir‘

English and Latin deci-, combination form meaning ‘one tenth’

English decibel, unit of sound, one tenth of a bel

English decile, statistical term dividing a population into ten equal groups

English deciliter, one tenth of a liter

English decimal 

English decimal fraction

English decimal place

English decimal point

English decimal system

English decimalize

English decimalization

English decimate ‘kill one in ten’

English decimate comes from the ancient Roman custom of killing one in ten soldiers of a mutinous legion.

Due to massive ignorance decimate means ‘mass killing’ today.

English be decimated

English decimation 

English decimeter, unit of distance, ’one tenth of a meter’

English decimetric

Latin decimus ‘tenth’

Latin decimat ‘taken as a tenth’

Often Indian or other s/sh sounds become k sound in Greek and Latin.

Examples

Indian sitaar ‘long stringed instrument’, Greek kithara, guitar, ‘short stringed instrument’

Indian Sanskrit ashva ‘horse’, Latin equus ‘horse’

 English citron (pronounced as sitron), Greek kitron

English cellar (pronounced as sellar), Greek kelari

English decagon ‘geometrical figure with ten sides’

English decagonal ‘ten-sided’

English decan ‘equal ten-degree division of  a sign of the zodiac’

English decasyllabic ‘ten-syllable metric line’

One therm = 100,000 Btu

English decathlon ‘ten-event sports competition’

 English decennial ‘occurring every ten years or lasting ten years’

English decennium ‘period of ten years’

 English dekagram ‘ten grams’

English dekaliter ‘ten liters’

English Dewey Decimal System, universal book classification system used in libraries

English dodeca, combination form meaning ‘having twelve’

English dodeca derives from Indian Sanskrit dwa ‘two’ + dasha ‘ten’.

English dodecaphonic ‘having twelve sounds’

English dodecagon ‘plane figure with twelve sides’

English dodecahedron ‘solid figure with twelve faces’

English Dodecanese ‘group of twelve Greek islands’

English duodecimal ‘number system with 12 as base’

English duodecimal derives from Indian Sanskrit dwa ‘two’ + dasha ‘ten’.

English duodecimally, adverb of duodecimal

English duodecimo ‘twelve page book’

English hexadecimal ‘number system with 16 as base’

English hexadecimally, adverb of hexadecimal

Indian Sanskrit dasha to English dec to Greek deka yields the following Greek words.

In all Greek words listed below d is pronounced soft as in this.

deka, dekada, dekas ‘ten’

dekadikus ‘decimal’

dekaenea ‘nineteen’

dekaex, dekaeksi ‘sixteen’

dekaepta ‘seventeen’

We will see in number 7 how Indian Sanskrit sapta becomes Greek epta ‘seven’ by dropping

the first s sound of Sanskrit. Likewise Spanish siete ‘seven’ drops the p sound of Sanskrit.

dekaetirida ‘tenth anniversary’

dekaetis ‘ten-year’

dekaetia ‘decade’

dekakis ‘ten times’

dekalogos ‘Ten Commandments also called the Decalogue’

dekameris ‘of ten parts’

dekaocto ‘eighteen’

We will see in number 8 how Indian Tamil ettu becomes English eight, German acht and

Greek octo.

dekapentharia ‘about fifteen’

dekapentasillavos ‘fifteen syllable line’

dekapentoogosto ‘first fifteen days in August’

dekapente ‘fifteen’ 

We will see in number 5 how Indian Sanskrit pancha ‘five’ becomes Greek pente ‘five’.

dekaplasi/os ‘tenfold’

dekara ‘coin worth ten lepta’

lepta is Greek currency.

dekariko ‘coin worth ten drachmas’

drachma is Greek currency.

dekatesares ‘fourteen’

dekatessera ‘thirteen’ 

dekatessetis ‘tenth’

dekato ‘tenth’

dekatreis ‘thirteen’

We will see in number 3 how Indian Sanskrit thri ‘three’ becomes Russian tri, English three and Latin/Greek tria.

dekatria, dekatris ‘thirteen’

dekahronos ‘ten-year’

dekemvrios ‘December’ 

 Some Interesting Historical and Linguistic Facts

In the old Roman calendar September was the seventh month (from Indian Sanskrit sapta ‘seven’).

 October was the eighth month (from Indian Tamil ettu ‘eight’).

 November was the ninth month (from Indian Sanskrit nava ‘nine’).

 In 45 B.C. the old Roman calendar was replaced by the Julian calendar with 12 months and 365 days.

***

English Decalogue means ‘Ten Commandments’ given to Moses by God. The Greek word logos

derives from Indian Sanskrit loach ‘language’ which derives from Indian Tamil choll ‘say’.

It is easy to see that Indian Sanskrit loach (l-ch sounds) is mirror image of Indian Tamil choll

(ch-l sounds). ch and g are called sibilant (related) sounds. They are freely interchanged.

Thus Greek logos = Indian Sanskrit loach

Indian Sanskrit loach and Greek logos lead to Spanish lengua ‘tongue’and final English word language.

                                                                            A, a

a is the first letter in all Indian languages. All have one case.

A, a is the first letter in Russian. It has upper and lower cases.

The Transition

From Indian a to Arabic alif (1700 B.C), Hebrew aleph (circa 1700 B.C), Phoenician  aleph (1600 B.C) and Greek Alpha (800 B.C)

back to Roman and English A, a

Indian spoken sounds are tens of thousands of years old. Their age is based on the cave art and paintings at Altamira, Fort de Gaume, Les Trois Freres and Lascaux near the Pyrenees Mountains and Willendorf in Austria. Some of the findings at Lascaux Cave have been Carbon-14 dated to be 15,000 years old. Carbon-14 method is good for determining age upto70, 000 years.

Pyrenees Mountains are located in Western Europe between France and Spain. Basque people speaking an ancient language called euskara, French and Spaniards live in the  vicinity of these mountains. We will show that all the above languages, euskara, Spanish and French have origins in India. Most linguists call euskara an ‘isolate’ language meaning that it is not related to any language on our earth. That is because they never looked at Indian languages.

Introduction

We have published two books, ‘ One People One Language” and “Real Roots of German, Greek, Latin & English-Mini Word Origin Directory” to clean up the behemoth linguistic morass created by ignorant linguists and their minions.

Please learn about this morass at

http://www.geocities.com/kmguru2000/Ignorance.doc

So we have created this blog to clean up this behemoth linguistic morass.

For today that’s enough. Soon we will start with expansions and excerpts from our 2nd book, starting with the origins of letters starting with A. Eventually we will end up with letters starting with Z.

Let’s have fun.
