Abstract:

In The Precursors of Proto-Indo-European some of the world’s leading experts
in historical linguistics shed new light on two hypotheses about the
prehistory of the Indo-European language family, the so-called Indo-Anatolian
and Indo-Uralic hypotheses. The Indo-Anatolian hypothesis states that the
Anatolian branch of the Indo-European family should be viewed as a sister
language of ‘classical’ Proto-Indo-European, the ancestor of all the other,
non-Anatolian branches. The common ancestor of all Indo-European languages,
including Anatolian, can then be called Proto-Indo-Anatolian. The Indo-Uralic
hypothesis states that the closest genetic relative of Indo-European is the
Uralic language family, and that both derive from a common ancestor called
Proto-Indo-Uralic. The book unravels the history of these hypotheses and
scrutinizes the evidence for and against them.
