Summary. The chapter provides a general introduction to the book, presenting the background and the overall framework. It assesses the relationship between traditional linguistic phylogenetics and more recent computational approaches. After discussing the terminology relevant for linguistic phylogenetic studies it provides an overview of the ...
Phrygian is now classified as a centum language more closely related to Greek than Armenian, whereas Armenian is mostly satem. [23] Recent research suggests that there is lack of archaeological [24] and genetic evidence [25] for a group from the Balkans entering eastern Asia Minor or the Armenian Highlands during or after the Bronze Age ...
Phrygian provides in several respects the missing link between Greek and Armenian. In particular, the paradigms of the middle voice appear to have been more extensive than what we find in the separate languages. The archaic character of the Phrygian language is corroborated by the Indo-Iranian and Italo-Celtic evidence.
8.4 The Relationship of Italic to the Other Branches. Italic, unsurprisingly, shares many features with other European branches of Indo-European. Meillet (1922) famously recognized a “civilization of the Northwest”, which was shared by the branches that eventually became Balto-Slavic, Germanic, Italic, and Celtic. 50.
In classical antiquity, Phrygia ( / ˈfrɪdʒiə / FRIJ-ee-ə; Phrygian: 𐊩𐌏𐌛𐊅𐊄𐌌, [6] romanized: Gordum; Ancient Greek: Φρυγία, Phrygía) was a kingdom in the west-central part of Anatolia, in what is now Asian Turkey, centered on the Sangarios River.

Proto-Balto-Slavic is a reconstructed hypothetical proto-language descending from Proto-Indo-European . From Proto-Balto-Slavic, the later Balto-Slavic languages are thought to have developed, composed of the Baltic and Slavic sub-branches, and including modern Lithuanian, Polish, Russian and Serbo-Croatian, among others.
