The Mendeleev's Periodic Table of Linguistics (→ Author's Site here) (→ Github source file here) is a specific chapter from the Theory of the Siberian Canoe (→ Author's Site here) (→ Github source file here).
The Theory of the Siberian Canoe was developed from the idea of the Continuous Chain of Toponyms in the form KHANGA/SHAMBA along the coasts of the Indian Ocean — an idea that results from an alternative analysis of the term Lapp (the scandinavian peoples Saami) through the method of the Phonetic comparison, which the author extended on an global scale.
This process took to dive into the Indo-Pacific Coastal Migrations and, in particular, to the new hypothesis of some coastal groups entering Siberia from the Pacific Ocean, reaching Europe through the alluvial swamps of Siberia during the Ice Ages — an hypothesis which seems a better explanation for a quantity of myths legends and mysteries.

In the most recent version of the Theory, the author took on a more systematic work of linguistic comparison, creating tables for the main words describing Basic Environments (Sea, Coast, Forest, River, etc..) in as many languages as possible. This process of Abstraction was meant better to justify the Basic Environmental Phonemes of the previous versions, which described the basic Ethnic Groups:
- "WAKA" (KHAM'MBAHA and variants) : Nomadic Coastal Peoples
- "BURU" (KHUM'MBURU and variants) : Forest and Mountain Peoples
- "ANGA" (KHAN'NGARA and variants) : "Hunting along the River Valley"
Briefly said, these phonemes talk about shy Human groups moving along the safer Coastal Environment and, in the search for Fresh Water, tracing back Rivers. This made them getting confident with Dark Forests and learning to manipulate Hard Materials, which will be the base for Structures made of Stone.
The Nomadic Coastal Peoples then helped to spread New Technologies along the Coasts of the Indian and Pacific Ocean, and this habit to Exploration and Commerce will be the magic connection between a city like Jericho and the Maya pyramids through the hypothesis of the Sailors of the Siberian Alluvial Swamps during the Ice Ages.
However — which was the starting issue of the name Lapp — the Peoples' Names as we know them, come from very different sources, nor the words of your language surely belong to your linguistic group since ever.
As a result, the Environmental Linguistic Tables may show that the word Sea is mostly represented by a phoneme such as "WAKA", but don't prove that a people called "WAKA" necessarily developed as a Coastal People.
The author therefore realized that single languages still hold an intimate Phonetic Consistency based on those Basic Concepts, as they use the same Phoneme for all of them. This Phonetic Consistency is such, that one term might help forecast the shape of the others, giving this linguistic analytical system the name of The Mendeleev's Periodic Table of Linguistics.
- Man
- Water
- River
- Forest
- Building
In fact, since Objects and Environments likely took on their name according to the Satisfaction of a Need, this means that the archaic structures of that language developed in a certain environment — on the Bright Coasts (phonemes WAH) rather than in the Dark Forests (phonemes WUH) — which is more authentic a hints for its Environmental Specialization.
This should make it possible to track movements and dependencies within Ancient Peoples — an idea the author represented as Ranking of Linguistic Darkness.
There are a lot of things that could be done for the Theory of the Siberian Canoe — such as filling the environmental tables, creating a database with filters, creating a statistical data visualization, etc... — but for the above explained reasons, the Periodic Table is the real thing to point to.
- the provided examples show that this system is so "true", that if the term is too much different from the fonetic sequence set up by "Man", you can "be sure" that you will find anyway a matching synonym.
This is why the contribution of native speakers is much better situation than authors enjoying their own genius alone.

For example, the Table allows us to imagine the Ainu's as a "People of the Littoral", hunting on rivers upstream (KHANGA) but not going deep into the woods, and not building in stone.
On the contrary, German language does not use GURU-based fundamental dictionary as you might expect, but WANDA-based. Surprisingly? Not really, because North-Germanic tribes are known to be "Coastal Nomads", and their original name must have been similar to "Vandal" or to "Viking" (see Winnili "Longobards"), or also to "Angles" and to "Danes" (variant KHANGA).
