Do you mean non-PIE European languages?
- qwytw 3y agoYes of course (I would generally expect most European linguists and anthropologists to be more interested in studying European languages due to obvious reasons).
- jpmoral 3y agoThanks. I asked because this is a topic that interests me that I don't know a lot about. I wasn't sure whether there was a theory that (almost) everything is PIE or whether there was an Asian component to your comment or something else that was in my unknown unknowns.

- jpmoral 3y agoWow. I asked because this is a topic that interests me that I don't know a lot about. I wasn't sure whether there was a theory that (almost) everything is PIE or whether there was an Asian component to the comment or something else that was in my unknown unknowns. Don't jump down people's throats based on uncharitable readings of what they wrote.
