Other languages section.

Post by Timotheus »

Hello, I've been away for some time and its good to get back to the forums.

On review of some postings I noticed a call for sandskrit. I don't know if this would be a benifit to Textkit or not.

one comment was that Textkit is better served by western civilization classical studies.

Why not a section listed as other languages?

Durring the medieval period The Moors and Berbers had taken Spain, Portugal, and influenced the southern regions of France. Durring that time Byzantium had to deal with Arab Islamic influence on the eastern borders even within their territory. The Crusades also brought many of the thinking of this culture back to "christianized" lands.

The Arab, Persian, had great strides in liturature, science, mathematics,...
And was the main force of knowledge in Europe until the Renaissance.

This has come up a few times in the past. Jeff prefers to keep Textkit focused Greek and Latin.
