Do it fit into farming period or it is younger?<br /><br />Aramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717857095182763668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756272660800605663.post-2695406436843991442017-02-01T19:46:13.095-08:002017-02-01T19:46:13.095-08:00Good work :)

This is what Mallory and Adams say :<br /><br />https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1U6AZpWQAAao84.jpg<br /><br />Also this<br /><br />https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1U6wyTWgAAeosX.jpg:large<br /><br />So if we gain info on lost ancient IE languages like Scythian, Thracian, Cimmerian, Dacian etc and their cognates, it would change the current reconstructions :) We know how the discovery of lost Hittite and 'Tocharian' languages changed the the entire situation of early IE studies.<br /><br />Same is the case with PD, which mostly relies on living languages. Nothing much is studied about language of hunter-gatherer Dravidian tribes like Cholanaikkans who still live deep inside the forests!<br /><br />Anyway, this is a good effort, keep it up!<br /><br />Regards.Bharatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465440036142355383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756272660800605663.post-62026920642614790002017-02-01T02:25:23.311-08:002017-02-01T02:25:23.311-08:00Great work!

About the IE roots, they are presented in different ways, mostly according to the Glottalic theory followed by Bomhard, some in more traditional ways. I find remarkable how the vowel in Dravidian is often a, as in Indo-Aryan but probably also according to the most original PIE.
