Proto-Armenian, as the ancestor of only one living language, has no clear definition of the term. It is generally held to include a variety of ancestral stages of Armenian between Proto-Indo-European and the earliest attestations of Classical Armenian . It is thus not a proto-language in the strict sense, but "Proto-Armenian" is a term that has ...
Proto-Albanian is the ancestral reconstructed language of Albanian, before the Gheg – Tosk dialectal diversification (before c. 600 CE ). [2] Albanoid and other Paleo-Balkan languages had their formative core in the Balkans after the Indo-European migrations in the region. [3] [4] Whether descendants or sister languages of what was called ...

History. The origin of the Proto-Armenian language is subject to scholarly debate. The more genetically backed Armenian hypothesis would postulate the Armenian language as an in situ development of a 3rd millennium BC Proto-Indo-European language, [7] while the less genetically backed Kurgan hypothesis suggests it arrived in the Armenian Highlands either from the Balkans or through the Caucasus.
The name Armeno-Phrygian is used for a hypothetical language branch, which would include the languages spoken by the Phrygians and the Armenians, and would be a branch of the Indo-European language family, or a sub-branch of either the proposed "Graeco-Armeno-Aryan" or "Armeno-Aryan" branches. According to this hypothesis, Proto-Armenian was a ...
Armenian makes a separate branch in the Indo-European language family, like Greek or Albanian do, without close kinship to other languages. The term “Indo-European” is conventional anyway since we have no knowledge about the real ancestral names of the peoples who are spread over the vast area between India and Europe and who spoke kin ...
Proto-Armenian is the earlier, unattested stage of the Armenian language which has been reconstructed by linguists. As Armenian is the only known language of its branch of the Indo-European languages, the comparative method cannot be used to reconstruct its earlier stages. Instead, a combination of internal and external reconstruction, by reconstructions of Proto-Indo-European and other ...
Wikidata. Q3848498. Proto-Armenian is a reconstructed language. Its words and roots are not directly attested in any written works, but have been reconstructed through the comparative method, which finds regular similarities between languages that cannot be explained by coincidence or word-borrowing, and extrapolates ancient forms from these ...
