Musings in Historical Linguistics

I have no expertise whatsoever in historical linguistics, but I've read several books on the subject and find it fascinating. It seemed fun to write some webpages of my own on the topic, but Read at your own risk!

• Two maps of Central Europe which try to summarize the 4th millenium BC (probably the main epoch of Indo-European expansion).
• A discussion about language family structure and its relevance to the problem of I-E origin.
• My miscellaneous old musings on linguistics.
• A farfetched attempt to put all languages in a single tree.

Perhaps it would be more productive to create links to the webpages of real linguists. Here's a beginning stab at that:

• John Croft's well-reasoned conjectural account of Nostratic origin, transcribed by me.
