“…As a result, the given nonlinear model (1) where there are branching (treelike) cycles of kind p S 2 allows us to use the aprioristic linguistic information on the time of divergence of languages as time scale. For example, between cycles 2 S and 4 S the distance on time is 500 years, thus each of two languages of predecessors in an initial cycle 2 S have divided during 500 years on 2 new, related to initial language (two new "linguistic populations"), and as a result them became 4; and so on.…”

“…To study the distribution and change of linguistic information in Proto-Indo-European (PIE) language communities, as well as to search for the ancestral homeland of the peoples that were carriers of the PIE language we investigated two mathematical models: the first is a dynamic system model described by a nonlinear equation; the second is the model described by the system of integral differential equations (see, for example, [1][2][3]).…”

“…Within these models, the distribution and change of linguistic information in the model of Indo-European (IE) language communities were numerically studied, including at the initial stage of its formation, and both regular and chaotic phenomena were discovered in the transmission of the linguistic information (see, for example, [2]).…”

“…The mathematical models of the distribution and change of linguistic information in language communities under study were built using the information obtained from independent studies as a priory data, both from linguistics and other scientific fields, for example, from history, archeology, and genetics [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

The paper presents a theoretical analysis and computer simulations of the distribution and changes of the linguistic information in two model language communities: Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Chinese. Simulations show that out of two main hypotheses of the formation of the Proto-Indo-European languages, the Anatolian hypotheses and the Kurgan hypotheses, the latter is better consistent with the time estimates obtained in this study. The results obtained for Proto-Indo-European communities may also be used in the analysis of Asian language communities. In particular, the similarity of Chinese and Proto-Indo-European languages in terms of the relationship between the verb and the noun opens the possibility of applying our method to the analysis of the Proto-Sino-Tibetan language family. A possibility of creating a single national language Pŭtōnghuà (普通话) in the modern China was investigated. The results of the present study also suggest that the developed models look like a quite promising new instrument for studying linguistic information transfer in complex social and linguistic systems.

Приведена краткая информация о китайском языке и китайских языковых сообществах, показана история его становления. Рассмотрена возможность создания в Китае одного общегосударственного языка (Путунхуа / Pǔtōnghuà / 普通话 ). Приведены некоторые результаты теоретического анализа и компьютерного моделирования, демонстрирующие, что формирование единого языка постепенно происходит уже сейчас, но унификация будет, скорее всего, достигнута не ранее 3500 года. Дана оценка числа возможных элементарных «символов» («базовых единиц» или ключей (bùshǒu / 部首 )) гипотетической пра-Китайской письменности. Проведено сравнение некоторых типовых иероглифов и ключей из современных распространенных СМС-сообщений с иероглифами и ключами на изображениях типичных Цзягувэнь ( 甲骨文 / Jiǎgǔwén - письмена на черепашьих панцирях и гадальных костях, относящихся к XIV-XI вв. до н.э.). Обнаружены совпадающие иероглифы и ключи, что демонстрирует обоснованность предложенного подхода и справедливость выполненных расчетов.
