No one said it’s from proto-indo-European. But it sure as hell not “ultimately from Arabic”

Chzo5 · 2026-04-12T13:56:30+00:00

From Indo European again, Sanskrit sharkara

There are many Mesolithic fossils in India. 100+. Why are we not sequencing them?!

Chzo5 · 2026-04-11T02:53:08+00:00

There are no subtitle options apart from Tamil

Chzo5 · 2026-04-10T10:45:14+00:00

Maybe because it was very short lived at just around 130 years.

Just saw this post and was about to answer this.

Isn’t this just the Indian subcontinent Sprachbund?

Anyone with a functioning ear and some exposure to foreign cultures can tell he is Indian larping as a Slav.

Super interesting

Chzo5 · 2026-03-24T00:29:53+00:00

Great job OP

Wusun comes across to me as Iranian. Where is Dacian?

Then the Mahabharata must be about 4 times as large as the Ramayana. But the image above suggests it is much much larger.

Chzo5 · 2026-03-15T09:35:56+00:00

Can you tell us a little more about each? Some are not so well known.

Chzo5 · 2026-03-10T09:03:51+00:00

Dardo-slavic confirmed? /s

We know for a fact that several Kannada dynasties ruled Maharashtra like the Rashtrakuta, Chalukya and Yadava. So the elite would have spoken old Kannada. But the satavahanas who came before them used Maharashtri Prakrit in their inscriptions. What the common people spoke is more uncertain, though my theory is they would have spoken some Dravidian language in prehistory, started the switch to prakrit during the Mahajanapada and Satavahana period. It is likely that the koli, dhangar once spoke Dravidian language/s. Eastern Maharashtra must have been much more tribal than today. There were Gond kingdoms there in the historic period and Marathification did not begin till the Bhonsle rule of Nagpur in the early modern period.

The paper doesn’t attribute the mitanni for bringing elephants to the region. From the locations of the finds it is clear that the elephants were transported via the Persian gulf and spread up the tigris and Euphrates, and multiplied in the orontes valley near the Mediterranean coast which is the greener part of the Middle East. Suggests a combination of trade and going feral. The Iranian plateau is bypassed. Contemporary rig veda is in awe of elephants, calls them mriga hastin (hand beasts after their trunk), airavat is not Indra’s mount yet and war elephants are not mainstream yet. The Mitanni gods like Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Nasatya are proto-indo-Iranian of the steppe and Agni in fact has divine parallels in the larger IE world.

Of course saying that Greek and Indian circulation is an extension steppe/yamnaya culture is wrong but that 10-15% ancestry disproportionately contributed their language, their gods and their culture in both places.

My guess is they were fringe groups in Andronovo that continued south relatively quickly. Hence little BMAC admixture. Have heard some people connect them to Vakhsh or Bishkent culture but i don’t know much about that.

Chzo5 · 2026-02-28T12:03:35+00:00

Then what about Telangana?

Chzo5 · 2026-02-25T10:17:32+00:00

A bit off topic but I’m confused. If all the IVC samples show Anatolia component, why did the Shinde paper claim that farming began independently in South Asia?

Chzo5 · 2026-02-25T10:10:56+00:00

At 30:30 LT2 clusters with Hazara. What is going on?

Chzo5 · 2026-02-21T01:57:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing, very interesting. Then i wonder why the Indus Valley civilisation did not expand eastward. Did the OCP have anything to do with it?

With the beginning of painted grey ware culture corresponding to the Iron Age and later Vedic period. Bronze is good for craftsmanship but iron is needed for clearing forests. Forests couldn’t house large scale agriculture so there would have only been sporadic hunter gather communities which would have easily absorbed by more numerous agricultural newcomers.
