Abstract:

The Burushaski etymological dictionary provides a coherent, full and thorough
analysis of over 500 etymological entries with as many derivatives that were
inherited from Indo-European, and are not loanwords from Indo-Aryan, Old
Indian or Iranian. Some 200 of these etymologies are presented for the first
time, and all the old etymologies have been expanded and revised. The
Burushaski correspondences are mostly with widespread and old roots in
Indo-European, but many of them align themselves specifically with the
North-Western Indo-European branch. 

Semantically, the etymologies encompass mostly core vocabulary (e.g. names of
body parts, kinship terms, geographical features, shepherd vocabulary, plant
names, core adjectives) including some 170 basic verbs and verbal
constructions. 

A separate section analyses the grammatical correlations between Burushaski
and Indo-European in the personal, demonstrative and interrogative pronouns
and in the nominal, adjectival and verbal morphology.

The Burushaski vocabulary shows various correlations with the modern and
ancient Balkan languages. A special section analyses the important lexical
correspondences with Phrygian, itself ultimately of Ancient Balkan origin.

The extensive lexical and grammatical evidence advances decisively the
position that Burushaski is an Indo-European language, which at some stage of
its development was in contact with an agglutinative and ergative system and
was shaped in this language contact situation.
