> Archaeological research in the Middle East is revealing how a long-forgotten ancient civilisation used previously undiscovered linguistics to promote multiculturalism and political stability.

Sounds like a bunch of commie gobbledygook. The rest of the article is interesting. I love language learning, and ancient civilizations fascinate me.

>Watar was for instance Hittite for “water”. Duttar was the main part of the Hittite word for “daughter”. “Wine” was wiyana, while card was “heart/cardiac” and newa was their word for “new”.

This is so cool! But then I see trendy crap like this:

>traditions could be preserved and incorporated into the empire’s highly inclusive multicultural religious system.

and I wonder how much I am being informed vs. how much I am being "informed". Do the authors/researchers need to throw in CURRENTYEAR political jargon to get paid?
