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. 410 0$aLanguage and Linguistics E-Books Online, Collection 2025. 410 0$aLeiden Studies in Indo-European ;$v26. 606 $aLanguage and languages 606 $aLinguistics 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a418/.007/054 700 $aPalme?r$b Axel I$g(Axel Ingemar),$f1994-$01842337 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018857203321 996 $aIndo-Slavic Lexical Isoglosses and the Prehistoric Dispersal of Indo-Iranian$94422391 997 $aUNINA
