"2.5 THE LINGUISTS' RESPONSE?
Two possible responses to our results for Quechua:
A: The method got the classification wrong, so it's useless for
languages.
B: The method seems fair enough
maybe the traditional classification is wrong after all?
In fact, several Andean linguists have gone for
B!
Linguists aren't all Luddites and Cassandras after all?"
Compare slide 31 to 54 in the above link. The innermost circle is
where the "homeland" is if there is homeland at all. In the case of
"Indo-European" it "Indo-Iranian" occupies that position.
