Pedigree: First Speaker of Late Indo-Hittite

The PEDIGREE of

First Speaker of Late Indo-Hittite

`Kurgan wave 1'

Note: The origin and expansion of the Indo-European language family is more recent and solvable than many linguistic mysteries. I am a strong advocate of the popular Gimbutas-Mallory theory and (aided by Ringe's work) in the dates and remarks of the I-E tree presented here conjecture more detail than Gimbutas and Mallory do.

Born: ca 4200 BC

"Child(ren)": First Speaker of Indo-European Proper ; First Speaker of Anatolian
