Re: Proposal of a name for a possible family

Here's a link if anyone is interested in ordering a copy of the SIL Ethnologue; the prices are reasonable. I like the concept of "onion peel" progression Danny. Care to explain it further?

I hear ya. I was being vague in my listing; I'm more of a lumper than a splitter. And I left out the Permian branch of Finnic. The SIL Ethnologue has something pretty similar, with an "onion peel" type of progression in Finno-Ugric. ~DaW~
