Palmér 2024: indoiranilaisen kielihaaran leviämisreitti
Axel Palmér on tutkinut väitöskirjassaan indoiranilaisen kielihaaran reittiä Mustanmeren arolta Uralille ja Keski-Aasiaan ja tullut siihen tulokseen, että indoiranilainen kielihaara levisi todennäköisesti Volgan metsäaron kautta ja kehittyi Fatjanovon, Abashevon ja Sintashtan kulttuureissa.
Palmérin väitöskirja, "Indo-Slavic lexical isoglosses and the prehistoric dispersal of Indo-Iranian", julkaistaan kokonaisuudessaan vasta 2. heinäkuuta 2025, mutta sisällysluettelo ja keskeiset johtopäätökset on julkaistu jo nyt Leidenin yliopiston sivuilla.

"As part of the Indo-European language family, the Indo-Iranian branch traces its origins back to the Indo-European homeland on the Pontic-Caspian steppe 5000 years ago. But how did it spread from there to Asia? The aim of this thesis is to uncover the early prehistory of Indo-Iranian by investigating its relationship to the Balto-Slavic languages of Eastern Europe, which have been hypothesized to form a subgroup with Indo-Iranian: Indo-Slavic. By comparing the linguistic data with evidence from archaeology and genetics, this thesis traces the migration path of prehistoric Indo-Iranian speakers from the Pontic-Caspian steppe, via the rivers and forests of Eastern Europe, across the Ural Mountains, and southwards to the steppes of Central Asia."
"Propositions:
1. Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic languages share more than 50 unique lexical isoglosses, but only ten percent of these are compelling shared innovations.
2. The Indo-Slavic lexical isoglosses provide evidence for an Indo-Slavic subgroup, but more research is needed to determine whether Indo-Slavic was part of a dialect continuum or formed a subgroup in the strict sense.
3. Based on linguistic palaeontology, the Indo-Slavic and Proto-Indo-Iranian speech communities can be linked to a succession of archaeological cultures in Eastern Europe and Ural region that includes the Fatyanovo culture, Abashevo culture, and Sintashta culture.
4. The linguistic evidence presented in this dissertation is consistent with genetic evidence linking Central and South Asian populations to Eastern European Corded Ware populations."
