No, Elamites spoke Elamite language, François Desset says this is Proto-Iranian script, not Linear Elamite: https://www.academia.edu/97964761 Because some of these inscriptions are in Indo-Iranian language, not Elamite. It doesn't matter what you claim, you should prove it. Names of Indo-Iranian...
François Desset's work on Linear Elamite inscriptions will be published this year, it will prove that Indo-Iranians definitely lived in Iran in the third millennium BC, hundreds years before the formation of Sintashta culture in the Southern Urals, then we see that those scholars still reject...
This sentence: "For over a century, British colonialists pushed the fraudulent Aryan migration theory as a superior racial trope." is from the Indian Express, there is really not a big difference between Nazies and those scientists who say real Aryans/Indo-Iranians were the people of Corded Ware...
That racist story is too old, look at new studies, for example Heggarty et al., Science (2023):
“Indo-Iranic is an early independent branch in our analyses, with no close relationship to Balto-Slavic (see Box 1 and SM section 7.6.2.1), so that argument in favor of a northern route falls away...
You are right but Iranian is certainly a sub-branch of Indo-Iranian languages, when we want to talk about the homeland we should consider the major branch.
I think this Proto-Indo-Anatolian has been forged by those who don't want to believe that Indo-European languages didn't originate in the steppe, Anatolian languages are as Indo-European as other IE languages.
There is no big difference, what we know about the earliest Anatolian language dates back to 1600 BC, this study says Indo-Europeans lived in the South of Caucasus in 4400 BC and then migrated west to Anatolia, so those who are called Proto-Indo-Europeans lived in the South of Caucasus at least...
No, Persian is an Indo-Iranian language, historical evidences just show that an Indo-Iranian language existed in Mitanni in the north of Syria and Iraq in the 2nd millennium BC.
I think the main issue is the contacts between Indo-European and Uralic language which could happen in the north of Caucasus, this clip talks about it: In Persian ab from proto-Indo-European *h₂ep- means "water" which is the same as the Sumerian word for water, but in Hittite there is watar...
It says the majority of CLV ancestry is from West Asian sources from the Mesopotamia-Caucasus (or Çayönü-Masis Blur-Aknashen) cline. In fact there is almost no difference between Heggarty et. al and this study, both of them say that the earliest Indo-European people were those who lived in the...
One of the oldest Hittite monuments: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hittite_Priest-King_or_Deity.jpg
"A large basalt sculpture depicting a Hittite god or priest-king wearing a horned conical crown, false beard, and long robe. He holds a bowl in his right hand and once held something in...
It can be easily proved that Hittite culture originated in Iran, for example the earliest double-headed eagle which was a major Hittite symbol has been found in Iran: https://www.jaco-sj.com/jufile?ar_sfile=2375479
It is what the greatest Indo-European linguists in the world say, as you read here: https://www.academia.edu/105839899/Informal_review_of_Heggarty_et_al_2023_Indo_European_phylogeny_ "IE-CoR was prepared by an international team comprised of more than 80 linguists – experts in various IE groups...
It says "CLV ancestry first appears in the Chalcolithic population at Areni-1 in Armenia.", Areni is in the south of Armenia, it has nothing to do with Steppe.
Hypothesis A (East & west) is actually the same old Kurgan hypothesis by ignoring ancient DNA findings. A homeland in the south of Caucasus easily solves the problem.
In this study David Anthony and other followers of Kurgan hypothesis have actually confirmed that an early Indo-European language existed in the South of Caucasus and northwest of Iran from at least the 5th millennium BC. According to Heggarty et. al, not only Anatolian but also Indo-Iranian...
