Will Kalašma Change Our Understanding of Indo-European? (or Just Anatolian?)
The recent publication of the Kalašma tablet has revealed a new Indo-European language with many affinities to other languages on the Anatolian branch, but what else will this enigmatic language teach us about Anatolian and the Indo-European tree as a whole?
Daniel Schwemer, Elisabeth Rieken and Ilya Yakubovich are the researchers behind the content of today’s video.

Tocharian and Anatolian – Do They Form Their Own Branch on the Indo-European Tree? 🔍
In this (hopefully) thought-provoking video, I explore the intriguing, and for sure controversial, possibility of Tocharian and Anatolian forming a distinct branch on the Indo-European language🌳. While this idea is FAR, FAR from being set in stone, I couldn't help but notice some compelling lexical and phonological similarities between these two ancient language groups during a recent cold and sore throat that left me stuck in bed for a few days, allowing me to get deeply stuck into reading about Tocharian. 🤒📚

The Sound of the Luwian/ Trojan? language (Words & Sample Text)
Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet.
Native to: Hittite Empire, Arzawa, Neo-Hittite kingdoms
Region: Anatolia, Northern Syria
Extinct: around 600 BC
Language family: Indo-European (Anatolian)
LUWIAN sometimes known as Luvian or Luish, is an ancient language, or group of languages, within the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European language family. The ethnonym Luwian comes from Luwiya (also spelled Luwia or Luvia) – the name of the region in which the Luwians lived. Luwiya is attested, for example, in the Hittite laws.
The two varieties of Proto-Luwian or Luwian (in the narrow sense of these names) are known after the script...

Hittite and Luwian | Anatolian Languages | Word Comparison
A comparison between Hittite and Luwian, the two most documented Anatolian languages. The Anatolian languages were the first to split from the Proto-Indo-European language, with Proto-Anatolian sometimes said to be PIE's sister language. The speakers of the Anatolian languages settled (as their name implies) in modern day Turkey

Hittite (Nešili)
Region: Anatolia
Era: attested 16th to 13th centuries BCE
Language family: Indo-European (Anatolian)
Writing system: Hittite cuneiform
also known as Nesite and Neshite, was an Indo-European language that was spoken by the Hittites, a people of Bronze Age Anatolia who created an empire, centred on Hattusa, as well as parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia. The language, now long extinct, is attested in cuneiform, in records dating from the 16th (Anitta text) to the 13th centuries BCE, with isolated Hittite loanwords and numerous personal names appearing in an Old Assyrian context from as early as the 20th century BCE.
By the Late Bronze Age, Hittite had started losing ground to its close relative Luwian. It appears that in the 13th century BCE, Luwian was the most-widely spoken language in the Hittite capital, Hattusa. After the collapse of the Hittite Empire during the more general Late Bronze Age collapse, Luwian emerged in the Early Iron Age as the main language of the so-called Syro-Hittite states, in southwestern Anatolia and northern Syria.
Hittite is the earliest-attested of the Indo-European languages and is the best-known of the Anatolian languages.

In this (hopefully) thought-provoking video, I explore the intriguing, and for sure controversial, possibility of Tocharian and Anatolian forming a distinct branch on the Indo-European language🌳. While this idea is FAR, FAR from being set in stone, I couldn't help but notice some compelling lexical and phonological similarities between these two ancient language groups during a recent cold and sore throat that left me stuck in bed for a few days, allowing me to get deeply stuck into reading about Tocharian. 🤒📚
I also stumbled upon a couple of articles that support the idea of a deeper connection between Tocharian and Anatolian. The first one, "Hittite and Tocharian" by Petersen (1933), is a true gem of linguistic scholarship, standing the test of time over its 90 years of existence. Petersen's work provides a comprehensive analysis of the arguments supporting a potential 'dialectical unity' of Anatolian and Tocharian. Interestingly, it was in this text that I encountered the earliest mention of the possible lengthening of stops in Anatolian, a concept that has since become a popular research area, explored by scholars like Alwin Kloekhorst in contemporary times. This work has also been cited by Melchert, Adams, and Jasanoff, although it's worth noting that none of them seem to have paid much attention to the core idea of the text.
The second text that caught my eye was "West-Indo-European Affinities of Anatolian" by Jaan Puhvel (1994). Puhvel's meticulous examination delves into the relationship between Anatolian and the West-Indo-European group, of which he considers Tocharian to be a part.
Additionally, I came across a more recent work by Kassian, Zhivlov, Starostin, and others (2021), which presents an extensive reconstruction of Indo-European phylogeny based on substantial wordlists. In this article, Kassian explores a potentially alternative relationship between Tocharian and Hittite. 📝🧐
In my video, I also discuss recent research by Kloekhorst on the Anatolian stop system and Heggarty's (controversial) article. While the authors may not explicitly state a joint Tocharian and Anatolian clade, the evidence, especially in Kloekhorst's work, seems to hint at a potential reconstruction of the Anatolian stop system that aligns neatly (albeit, not perfectly) with Tocharian.
I want to emphasize that my primary position still leans toward Tocharian and Anatolian forming separate branches on the Indo-European language tree, perhaps breaking off together in close temporal proximity. However, it's always worth revisiting ideas like those presented by Petersen and Puhvel in light of modern discoveries and linguistic research to see if there are any valuable insights to be gained.
Please share your views and opinions in the comment section. I would love to read your ideas.
Particularily concerning what type of evidence we need to justify a joint branch and whether the shared characteristics of Anatolian and Tocharian might shed new light on how PIE is reconstructed.
What do you think is the closest relative to Tocharian? 💬🤝
I apologize for my croaky voice during the video (I’m feeling better now and my voice will be normal for the next video!), and if the video jumps around a bit, it’s because I actually recorded about 75 minutes of me talking into the camera! I cut it down to something a lot more manageable! I also left out some of the concepts discussed in Peterson's article as, upon review, I felt I did a bad job of representing the ideas from the text. 🙏🎥

In this (hopefully) thought-provoking video, I explore the intriguing, and for sure controversial, possibility of Tocharian and Anatolian forming a distinct branch on the Indo-European language🌳. While this idea is FAR, FAR from being set in stone, I couldn't help but notice some compelling lexical and phonological similarities between these two ancient language groups during a recent cold and sore throat that left me stuck in bed for a few days, allowing me to get deeply stuck into reading about Tocharian. 🤒📚
I also stumbled upon a couple of articles that support the idea of a deeper connection between Tocharian and Anatolian. The first one, "Hittite and Tocharian" by Petersen (1933), is a true gem of linguistic scholarship, standing the test of time over its 90 years of existence. Petersen's work provides a comprehensive analysis of the arguments supporting a potential 'dialectical unity' of Anatolian and Tocharian. Interestingly, it was in this text that I encountered the earliest mention of the possible lengthening of stops in Anatolian, a concept that has since become a popular research area, explored by scholars like Alwin Kloekhorst in contemporary times.

The Sound of the Luwian/ Trojan? language (Words & Sample Text)

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet.
Native to: Hittite Empire, Arzawa, Neo-Hittite kingdoms
Region: Anatolia, Northern Syria
Extinct: around 600 BC
Language family: Indo-European (Anatolian)
LUWIAN sometimes known as Luvian or Luish, is an ancient language, or group of languages, within the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European language family. The ethnonym Luwian comes from Luwiya (also spelled Luwia or Luvia) – the name of the region in which the Luwians lived. Luwiya is attested, for example, in the Hittite laws.
The two varieties of Proto-Luwian or Luwian (in the narrow sense of these names) are known after the scripts in which they were written: Cuneiform Luwian (CLuwian) and Hieroglyphic Luwian (HLuwian). There is no consensus as to whether these were a single language or two closely related languages.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luwian_language
Trojan hypothesis
Luwian has been deduced as one of the likely candidates for the language spoken by the Trojans. After the 1995 finding of a Luwian biconvex seal at Troy VII, there has been a heated discussion over the language that was spoken in Homeric Troy. Frank Starke of the University of Tübingen demonstrated that the name of Priam, king of Troy at the time of the Trojan War, is connected to the Luwian compound Priimuua, which means "exceptionally courageous". "The certainty is growing that Wilusa/Troy belonged to the greater Luwian-speaking community," but it is not entirely clear whether Luwian was primarily the official language or it was in daily colloquial use.
