Sometimes Caucasian languages are also included in Paleo-European but it is hardly justified, especially since the Caucasus is in Asia.

Somebody needs a geography lesson, or a brief on sets subject in Maths. Caucasus is the accepted border between europe and asia. North of the range (Chechnia, Circassia is always considered Europe while south is always considered Asia (Georgia, Azerbaijan). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.177.135.59 (talk) 20:31, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removed section (Feb 2018)

I just removed the "Theories about Paleo-European languages" section. Nothing in it was cited, and had been uncited for at least a year. It included what sure looks like original research, and fringe (slash-quack) theories from admitted "amateurs" who to the best of my knowledge have never published anything on the subject. (I know both of them, though not terribly well -- one is a genuine quack and the other is respectable, but again, both are amateur enthusiasts and not professionals and there's little chance either has published anything in a reliable source or been quoted/referred to in one.) If any of the specific claims can be cited from reliable sources they can of course be put back in. (The Vennemann claim is probably accurate but I don't know enough about it and don't have time to dig up a source on that anyway. But it's been tagged as uncited for a year so I feel justified in taking it out until someone more knowledgeable than me can find a reliable source for it.) 2601:2C3:57F:C308:C076:4371:B36B:F2CD (talk) 18:52, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
