Everything about The Armenian Hypothesis totally explained
The
Armenian hypothesis of the
Proto-Indo-European Urheimat, based on the
Glottalic theory suggests that the
Proto-Indo-European language was spoken during the
3rd millennium BC in the
Armenian Highland. It is an
Indo-Hittite model and doesn't include the
Anatolian languages in its scenario. The phonological peculiarities proposed in the Glottalic theory would be best preserved in the
Armenian language and the
Germanic languages, the former assuming the role of the dialect which remained
in situ, implied to be particularly archaic in spite of its late attestation.
Proto-Greek would be practically equivalent to
Mycenean Greek and date to the 17th century BC, closely associating Greek migration to Greece with the
Indo-Aryan migration to India at about the same time (viz., Indo-European expansion at the transition to the
Late Bronze Age, including the possibility of Indo-European
Kassites).
The Armenian hypothesis argues for the latest possible date of Proto-Indo-European (
sans Anatolian), a full millennium later than the mainstream
Kurgan hypothesis. In this, it figures as an opposite to the
Anatolian hypothesis, in spite of the geographical proximity of the respective
Urheimaten suggested, diverging from the timeframe suggested there by full three millennia.
Although the Armenian hypothesis has its proponents, more popular are the
Anatolian hypothesis and the mainstream
Kurgan hypothesis.
