The
Traditional Views of Indo-European Unity
Ancient tribes and their languages are
erroneously identified with early medieval kingdoms and national mother
tongues as they were recorded in the written form a few centuries ago. Our
Indo-European predecessors are derived from the Bronze Age Pre-Anatolians
(3500 BC). The German philologist August Schleicher was inspired by Ch.
Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859) but his Stammbaumtheorie
started our evolutionary development from Mycenaean Greece or Vedic Sanskrit.
Such views were inherent in August Schleicher’s Stammbaumtheorie1 but reached their height in
Hugo Schuchardt’s and Johannes Schmidt’s Wellentheorie.2 In their eyes linguistic
and ethnic areas looked like large concentric republics spreading in waves in
all possible directions. New languages were supposed to originate by radial
expansion where peripheral bulging protuberances fell off and formed new
daughter neoplasms. Modern applications of
Schleicher’s tree theory advanced opinions of Maria Gimbutas, who proposed
her kurgan hypothesis3 that the first
Indo-Europeans had been the Bronze Age Scythoid kurgan-builders acting as
torch-bringers of bronze metallurgy. A slight modifications was advocated by
David W. Anthony4, who was
sceptical of the role of Baltic kurgan cultures and attached the greatest
importance in the Indo-European genesis to the Uralo-Sarmatic centre around
the Sintashta culture (2100 BC) south of the Urals. Their chief opponent was
Colin Renfrew5, who forwarded
an alternative Anatolian model. It identified Indo-European ancestors with
the earliest Anatolian peasants, who propagated the art of land-tilling
agriculture to A more adequate model was
proposed by diffusionist anthropology that regarded ethnic groups as an
octopus spreading by diffusion from one prehistoric homeland. Its precursor
was J. Baudouin de Courtenay6, who became famous for his
paper On the
Mixed Character of All Languages (1901). The Russian linguist Nikolai Trubetzkoy developed its philosophy into
the self-sustained chain theory (Kettentheorie).7 It conceived ethnic areas
as long narrow chains exhibiting similar linguistic and cultural patterns
although they passed through several different heterogeneous domains. Such a
hypothetical model is more appropriate because it corresponds to prehistoric
archaeological migrations. Its conclusions were confirmed by Mateo Alinei’s
Palaeolithic Survival Theory.8 He warned against the main
fallacy of comparative linguistics that started linguistic evolution from the
Bronze Age dawn of civilisation and defended opinions that main branches of
human languages must have arisen in the Palaeolithic as an accompaniment of
views the first archaeological cultures.
Moreover, he believed that the language cultures of Palaeolithic
ancestor survived in residual quantities within their contemporary modern
heritage. He refused preconceptions of the Extinction Theory that considered
all Palaeolithic tribes, races and dialects as extinct and defended their partial continual survivance. The Nordic and Danubian Gothids as the Core
of Indo-Europeans
Traditional concepts of European tribes insist on a
sort of holistic isolationism that identifies tribes with nations cast like
ingots in the mould of medieval monarchies. A more sophisticated view divides
Gothids into phratries (Jutes, Frisians, Angles, Saxons) denoted as
Endo-Gothids, and lineages of migration streams designated as Syn-Gothids.
Streams jut out of the cradleland of the tribal diaspora like tentacles of an
octopus or branches of a genealogic tree growing out of one trunk. The entire
genealogic tree might be referred to as a union of Pan-Gothids (Table 11). The common
Gothonic starting-point may be found in the farmers of the Danubian Linear
Ware (5500–4500 BC), who seem to have coincided with the Y-DNA haplogroup
I2-M423 in
Table 11. The systematic classification of Gothoid phratries
and tribes Archaeological finds and population
genetics prove that bearers of the Y-haplogroup I1 must be identified with the
Corded Ware in the north and the Bell-Beaker Folk in the south. The
beginnings of the Corded Ware in The important point is that Preeuropidi
had reached the coasts of the Their archetypal differences were
manifested by absolutely incompatible phonologies and grammatical systems.
African Negrids, Asiatic Caucasoids and European Nordids applied cordal
languages, whose consonantism was based on the vibration of vocal cords
and the opposition of voiced and surd phonemes (Table 5). They pronounced
vocalic cordal phonemes based on open syllables and phonemes produced by
airstream passing through vibrating vocal cords. If there were any structural
changes, they were caused by mixing with Altaic agglutinating systems.
Table 5.
The cordal phonology of dolichocephals
with macrolithic hand-axe industry Table 5 demonstrates an organic growth of
IE phonology from the Ursprache of Elamitoid Caucasoids and its
incompatibility with Germanic innovations hiding away Turanid origins.
Table 8.
The nominal morphology of dolichocephals
with macrolithic hand-axe industry Elementary grammatical systems fall into
three types of nominal and verbal morphology. The gender-oriented morphology
is attributable to the language family of tall dolichocephals with hand-axe
industry and vegetal subsistence. In its original appearance documented in
African, Melanesian and Australian Negrids it partitioned nouns into classes
of animate, inanimate, vegetal and arboreal classes. These classed were
distinguished by prefixes put in front of nouns. In the Horn of Africa their
family ran upon Asiatic races with agglutinating language structures and
transitioned to suffixing morphology of inflecting type. The group of Asiatic
plant-gatherers, hoe-cultivators and agriculturalists reduced the system of
twelve nominal classifiers to the opposition of animate and inanimate nouns.
Their category included humans, animals, animistic spirits as well as sacral
deities. This categorisation survived
also in Anatolian tongues until their further expansion in the Balkans
encountered Gravettian tribes of Alpinids with sex-based gender
classifications. Their clash resulted in the rise of sex-based nominal gender
enriched by masculine o-stems and feminine a-stems. The core of
European Gothids accepted the dual opposition of masculine and feminine
gender but their core remained reluctant to their addition and continued to
adhere to nominal i-stems. Their subclasses coexisted with Caucasoid
vegetal u/w-stems that can be explained as remains of Caucasoid
b-plurals referring to agricultural crops and instruments of farming
activities. The classification of Indo-European thematic and athematic stems
may be regarded as a hold-over of ancient invasions and infiltrations
surviving in residual form in the territory of

embeddings and regressive intrusions in Old Indian consonantism The first autochthons in The first Indo-European
newcomers were Campignian Littoralists (10,000 BC) with cordmarked pottery,
who colonized the The Dravidian element in Old
Indian was represented by retroflex consonants written as ṭ, ḍ, ṇ,
ṣ, ẓ, ḷ, ɾ̣, ɹ̣ but the IPA standard records
them as /ʈ, ɖ ,
ɳ, ʂ, ʐ, ɭ, ɻ, ɽ/. They were
notable for pronunciation with the tip of the tongue bent backwards in a concave or curled shape. Their use was obliterated in most language
families but their remains often survive in the affricates tr- dr-,
tl- and dl-. Most types of notation do not distinguish
their apical and laminal pronunciation. The laminal retroflex consonants were
characteristic of Tungusoid fishermen, who disseminated them in |
