Linguistics theories debunked (partially)

✨ On I searched ... into the mountains and along the river banks. But in every direction I went, I went in vain. Who would have suspected that it was right where I stood; That I needed only nod my head and my true Self would appear before me. — Chan Master Xu Yun (c. 1840–1959) ✨
