Talk:North Indo-European

it is pointless to split these up. Better attempt a Early Indo-European dialects article explaining the isoglosses and the wave model. dab (ᛏ) 19:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm redirecting this to Indo-European languages. If someone decides to re-create it, please state in the article which linguists hold such a view.

By the way, it's worth pointing out that the dative plural suffix comes from Proto-Indo-European -mus through changes that are perfectly regular, but different in case of every language group you mention, such as development of the initial stress and resulting ablaut reduction in the case of Germanic -m/-n, the law of open syllables in the case of Slavic -mъ, or reduction of the unstressed close vowels in the case of Baltic -ms. As you can see, preservation of the consonant already present in the proto-language hardly proves anything here. -- Naive cynic 01:04, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
