    1. The Ukrainian language comes from the oldest language in the world - Sanskrit, and still has many common words.

    I know this person is literally being a Nazi and doing Holocaust denial, but other people have already pointed it out and I’m into linguistics, so I’m going to be enraged by this instead. Just what the fuck, like you were just talking about the ““Aryans”” and apparently you don’t know about Proto-Indo-European??? And how is Sanskrit the oldest language in the world? If this had been some weird Hindu nationalist this would make more sense to me but they’re not so what reason do you have to just say dumb shit like this. You could at least have made up some bullshit about how since the Proto-Indo-Europeans originally inhabited Ukraine, the Ukrainian language is closest to theirs and least tainted by foreign influence but nooo.
