Now, linguists are asking the question: does linguistic and genetic evidence paint the same picture of the human past? This book sheds new light on an old hypothesis on the relatedness of Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic languages, by studying unique lexical correspondences of these branches. It argues that their common Indo-Slavic origin supports an emerging picture based on ancient DNA, which shows a genetic relationship between prehistoric populations of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.Language and Linguistics E-Books Online, Collection 2025.Leiden Studies in Indo-European ;26.Language and languagesLinguisticsLanguage and languages.Linguistics.418/.007/054Palmér Axel I(Axel Ingemar),1994-1842337NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9911018857203321Indo-Slavic Lexical Isoglosses and the Prehistoric Dispersal of Indo-Iranian4422391UNINA
