Subject: Re: [Nostratica] Re: basic info
on nostratic
You might want to do a google search for Nostratic. There's a fair
amount of information available about it on the web. Keep in mind,
though, that it's not a proven concept. It's theoretical, and somewhat
controversial, at least among mainstream linguists.
I
didnt mix it up. I just had another question about information on
Nostratic so I thought I would ask. I am new to the idea but it is
similar
to my own theories, so I want ot learn more about it.
