What does anyone think of the possibility of Thracian, Dacian, Phrygian,
Armenian and possibly Cimmerian all coming from a common source, a branch
of IE that then seperated into 2 branches, one branching into Thracian,
Dacian and Cimmerian, the other into Phrygian and Armenian?

If not, how are these languages in relation to one another?

Also, what of the possibility that Moesians/Mysians were a Phrygian
people who entered Anatolia from the Balkans speaking a Phrygian
superstrata that failed to prevail amidst an Anatolian sub-strata (spoken
by the native population), as suggested to me on another list by John
Croft?
