Indian languages and Chinese share a lot of aspirates and the lack of fricatives. Everybody west of Pakistan has fricative-heavy languages. India & China lack fricatives. Indian phonology is closer to Chinese than it is to European and Middle-Eastern phonology which is not that weird considering they are actually neighbours. Indian languages are also quite late in adopting alfavets and writing systems. According to Dionysius Alicarnaseus fricatives are the kratista(the best letters/sounds because they utilise a lot of airstream). Like FULL, FARCE, PHONE(VOICE) VITA, VOGLIO while plosives are the ugliest letters/sounds because they only their own force alone(εαυτον δυναμιν εχει μονην). Languages that lack fricatives, cannot pronunce Force or Full. They pronunce Porce and Pull instead.

Interestingly, the RV only knows three seasons: vasantá- (spring), grīṣmá- (summer), and śarád- (autumn): vasantó asyāsīd ā́jyaṃ grīṣmá idhmáḥ śarád dhavíḥ Spring was its clarified butter, summer its firewood, and autumn its oblation. This was later extended to four with the inclusion of hemantá- (pre-winter/frost): śaráde tvā hemantā́ya vasantā́ya grīṣmā́ya pári dadmasi We deliver you over to autumn, to pre-winter, to spring, and to summer. This was further extended to the familiar system of six seasons with the addition of varṣá-/varṣā́- (rainy/monsoon, typically pl.) and śíśira- (winter/dewy). grīṣmó hemantáḥ śíśiro vasantáḥ śarád varṣā́ḥ svité no dadhāta May summer, pre-winter, winter, spring, autumn, and the rainy season establish us in well-being. grīṣmás te bhūme varṣā́ṇi śarád dhemantáś śíśiro vasantáḥ ṛtávas te víhitā hāyanī́r ahorātré pṛthivi no duhātām O Bhū́mi!, Let your summer, rainy season, autumn, pre-winter, winter, and spring, thy ordered seasons, years, day and night, O Pṛthivī́!, yield milk. All are regarded as essential part of the ecological cycle: ṛtúṃ no brū́ta yatamó 'tiriktaḥ Tell us which of the seasons is redundant?
