I am not entirely sure what you are asking, but let me offer an educated guess. You may be asking whether proverbs have a "geographical" origin-- in other words, do they come from one particular part of the world. The answer is no. Nearly every culture has had proverbs-- wise sayings that offer good advice about how to live and how to treat others. These sayings may not be called "proverbs" in every culture, but their purpose is still the same, and we find them as far back as Bible times, thousands of years ago (one book of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament is called "Proverbs" in the English translation). There are African proverbs, Indian proverbs, Asian proverbs... it seems that offering words of wisdom to be passed down to the next generation is a feature of cultures all over the world.
