Are all Indo-European language speaking people descendant from one tribe?( a.k.a the Proto Indo-europeans). I think the most damning evidence for the is that the Greek, Sanskrit, and Roman words for a major god is virtually the same word meaning "Sky-father" despite India having no cultural links with europe.
What is known about these people and where is their homeland most likely ?
I bet they were fucking niggers.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
No. Proto-Indo-European was spoken by some real group of people who migrated into Europe and Asia and a lot of IE speakers are their descendants, but a great portion of modern Indo-Europeans are natives who switched their language to the one of these migrants. Cases in point: Sardinians and Iberians.

It's quite certain that all Indo-European cultures come from a root culture, it's a bit tautological to ask if the languages share a common ancestor.
As for the people, their languages and much of their ancient culture came from the Proto-Indo-Europeans, but the genetic contribution is debated. There's certainly a "Yamnaya" component to most of their genomes, but most of their ancestry comes from the neolithic inhabitants of their various regions. So for the most part, they are mostly descended from pre/non-Indo-Europeans.
>>600769
Don't listen to this Líng shitter, he likes to attentionwhore in all the fun threads.
As for his assertion of a "root race," this is simply nonsense. The Yamnaya, his "Aryans," where not incredibly distinct from the populations around them, though because of genetic drift up into modern times their genome is different from that of modern people (as are the genomes of /all/ ancestral populations).
The Yamnaya culture are considered to be part of the so-called Andronovo Horizon, a broad cline of related cultures in the Eurasian steppe encompassing a very long period of time. So in fact there were social and cultural differences both between this ancestral culture and others, and within itself.
In fact, one of the leading hypotheses for the urheimat (the technical term for such a homeland) of the Proto-Indo-Europeans is that there was not one, and that they never existed as a single tribe – rather, as a linguistic and cultural continuum that changed and shifted within its own boundaries and periodically expanded and differentiated outward.
It's like trying to find someone's ancestral group – while many of them likely lived near each other, there would be exchange between different villages, different professions and family values, and there would never exist any one homogeneous set of ancestors for a given person. Branches of the family could split off and become their own entities, or feed back together after centuries.
>>600769
aside from Vedic texts describing a homeland with north-pole-like sun cycles is there any more solid or direct evidence for ancient aryan residence around the pole area?
>>600799
>mfw a tripfag posts at me
>>600813
Okay thats another likely point. but such a massive change in language must signify some sort of dominance? The Indo-Europeans must have had some cultural attributes which favored warfare and conquest. And conquest probably leads to some sort of genetic drift into the conquered population.

>>600852

>>600838
The Proto-Indo-European area and period would have roughly coincided with the domestication of the horse from wild tarpans, and the development of the spoked wheel (which enabled chariots). This was a massive development, and it's been argued that such an advantage is what lead to the sudden spread and dominance of Indo-European speakers over neighboring populations. Keep in mind, though, it would be the spread of semi-sedentary joint pastoral-agricularalist peoples from the steppe, and the people they were coming into contact with were often urban mass-agriculturalists, like with the Gumelnița–Karanovo culture in modern Bulgaria. When there was conquest, it would have been as a minority ruling caste, and based on archaeological evidence it seems that in Europe their associated material cultures spread more often by cultural diffusion rather than conquest.
It's important to keep in mind that these things did not happen all at once, nor where they consistent throughout the amorphous proto-Indo-European continuum. The earliest and most conservative branch of the family, the Anatolian languages, appear to have split off and established themselves before the proto-language settled on a singular word for the wheel, and that's caused a lot of debate about the significance of that innovation in the spread of Indo-European languages.

>>600949
AFTER THEIR DISINTEGRATION, THE TOCHARIANS MERGED WITH THE INDIGENOUS TURANIAN POPULATIONS, THUS THEIR CURRENT DESCENDANTS ARE MOSTLY NONARYANID.
THE UIGHURS ARE THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO THE TOCHARIANS THAT THERE REMAINS, OBVIOUSLY, THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY ENTAIL THAT UIGHURS ARE SOCIOCULTURALLY, OR RACIALLY, ARYAN THOUGH.
>>600964 there was an article in scientific American recently about prehistoric migrations into Europe.
>>600898
Current scholarship places Tocharians as being an early differentiation from the other branches, likely sometime not long after the Anatolian branch separated (they likewise appear to have not shared the common wheel etymons). Archaeology suggests they came from the Afanasevo culture of South Siberia and the Altai mountains, which is thought to have been a derivation of the (presumably proto-Indo-European) Yamnaya culture.
There's actually evidence for three different Tocharian languages, unfortunately usually referred to as Tocharian A, B, and C (hopefully something like little-used Agnean, Kuchean, and Kroranian catch on).
"Tocharian" is actually a misnomer, in truth referring to an Indo-Iranian people. The speakers of Tocharian A are believed to have called themselves the "Arsi."
They survived long enough to enter into Chinese and Persian records, even adopting Buddhism and playing an instrumental role in spreading it to China. The Uyghurs took over in the 8th century, and before long the language fell out of common use. It finally died as the ritual language of Buddhism after the Karakhanid leader Yusuf Qadir Khan conquered Khotan in 1006 and converted the rest of the region to Islam.
>>600939
The Tocharians did not live around the Aral Sea you nutter. They lived around the Taklamakan desert, in the Tarim Basin and Turpan Depression. Geographically speaking, those are very different areas from the Aral Sea, not even close.
Also the Tocharians were always, at least in part, "nonaryanid," as burials of the Gushi and Afanasevo cultures indicate that the inhabitants were mixed Eurasians. Calling the invading Uyghur Khanate indigenous is also wrong. I don't think it would be entirely incorrect, though, to characterize the ancient inhabitants of the Tarim basin as more caucasian than the present inhabitants. I would however like to point out once again that the proto-Indo-Europeans were likely never racially homogenous, at least not in the modern sense.

I also forgot to point out (not that it's particularly relevant, I just feel like being pedantic) that the Aral Sea did not begin to dry up until the Soviet government diverted the Amu and Syr Darya rivers for agriculture in the 1960s. That's hardly the Bronze Age.
I would also like to point out, for future posterity, that the Hanzi this tripfag uses for a name usually translates to "zero" or "absence." Quite fitting, I'd say.

The Aral Sea would have to be so deep that it submerged the entire Eurasian plain in order to flood the Tarim Basin. Look at a map. The basin sits at a very high altitude, between the Tien Shan mountains, the Altai mountains, and the fucking Tibetan plateau.

When talking about a mountain range with 7500 meter peaks, yes, I think it's fair to say they haven't suddenly been willed into existence in by historical revisionists.
Do you think the Tian Shan mountains suddenly came into existence only in the past thousand or so years, after the Tocharians disappeared? The Altai mountains, too? Or maybe the Aral Sea mysteriously vanished and reappeared 500 miles away in the Eurasian plain, huh?

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here – are you thinking of Lop Nur, and are just very confused? There used to be an endorheic salt lake that the Tarim River fed into, which shifted multiple times in history and at one point supported a Tocharian settlement.
It's hardly the Aral Sea, it in fact did not collapse Tocharian culture (even the city-state of Loulan continued to crop up in Chinese records, after the lake had shifted away from it), and it certainly was not during the bronze age, but maybe that's what you're thinking of.

Of course it makes understanding languages easier, but isn't it a bit sad how Latin script has overrun all the other ones? I'd love to know know English in its original futhrorc alphabet.
Wouldn't the obvious explanation be that your premise is false, and the idea that they all shared the same words is merely a result of the cross contamination occurring from the transmission of language through literature?

English has been written in latin ever since it's been Anglo-Saxon.
Futhorc is derived from the Old Italic script which also fathered the Latin script.
Futhorc is highly defective and can't even depict half the phonemes of English.
Do indo-europeans lean towards the classical (health, worldly) or the romantic (sickness, otherworldly) disposition overall?
>>601430
Futhark comes from the Elder Futhark, a Germanic alphabet inspired by Latin. No fucking shit it doesn't work well for modern English, it was used for what English was some 1500 years ago.
>>601461
It would've evolved too I'd think.
>>601482
Like the English Latin alphabet has, right ;^)
>>601488
Italic script turned into Latin and Elder Futhark. Elder Futhark turned into Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, and I don't see why assuming it survived in relevancy, it couldn't be written for modern English.

no they aren't. indians are a mix of indo europeans and the natives of the subcontinent with exact admixtures varying widely depending on where you go

not really. we actually have very little idea on what proto-IEs look liked but people from MENA are most likely the closest to them

Consider this:
In 2000 years, the descendents of black americans may very well still be speaking a germanic language. Would it be wise to assume, as a future anthropologist, that these future-blacks are relatives to the angles, saxons, and other north germans?
No, of course not.
In like fashion, we can't simply say something to the effect of "indians and the irish are related because they both speak indo-european languages".

>>601488
>In the orthography of Modern English, thorn (þ), eth (ð), wynn (ƿ), yogh (ȝ), ash (æ), and ethel (œ) are obsolete
>>602103
But that's not true. Not only is there debate about the identity of the "Aryans" themselves (a caste, a tribe? did it imply culture, language, or descent? was the concept common to all Indo-Europeans, or only certain offshoots?), but the proto-Indo-Europeans were likely never a singular people, rather a cultural/dialectical continuum.
So really it's impossible to talk about Aryans as such, since there's really no solid definition of who they were. "Aryan" is not just a throw-all term for the original Indo-Europeans, since we now know that there were groups of ancestral Indo-European speakers who were not culturally contiguous with each other and in fact wouldn't have been Aryans in many senses of the word.
Not to mention that the word itself is less specific than "proto-Indo-European," and has many connotations from race (Vedic/Indo-Aryans, Iranians, and of course the nutty 'Nordic' Aryans), language (i.e. "Aryan language" can refer to PIE, Indo-Iranian, Indo-Aryan, Sanskrit or Old Persian), religion (Iranian, Indo-Aryan, or PIE), or culture (pick any of the above, really). When you talk about proto-Indo-Europeans, you know who you're referring to – the speakers of the earliest common IE ancestor language, along with their associated culture and religion. It's a term that refers to a clear concept, and is commonly used and understood as such. Aryan is far too vague and refers to too many contradictory things to be of any real use, and in its most basic definition doesn't actually refer to PIE speakers specifically. It was an autonym common to Indo-Iranian speakers, and that's the most concrete definition.
>>600829
>In fact, one of the leading hypotheses for the urheimat (the technical term for such a homeland) of the Proto-Indo-Europeans is that there was not one, and that they never existed as a single tribe – rather, as a linguistic and cultural continuum that changed and shifted within its own boundaries and periodically expanded and differentiated outward.
According to who? I very much doubt this is a leading hypothesis since it ignores basic linguistic facts.
>>601482
It did; into anglo saxon futhorc, which only lacks one or two phonemes we use in modern english.
>>601461
AS Futhorc contains enough lexemes to represent every sound in english except for "hard J" (as in "Jesus", or the -dge in "Edge") and /ʒ/ (the "sion" in "fusion").
Hypothetically, you could render the hard "J" sound if you follow Anglo-saxon's writing conventions (i.e. the AS word brycġ, -cġ is pronounced "-dge" just like in modern english, and could easily be rendered in Futhorc with the runes Cen and Gyfu, which c and ġ transcribe in Latin).
>>601430
>Futhorc is highly defective and can't even depict half the phonemes of English.
It's short one phoneme. Additionally, it doesn't really matter. Younger Futhark has vastly too few characters to depict old norse's vowel inventory properly, but those viking fucks did it anyway.
Medieval runes are even more difficient.
If anything, AS Futhorc matches it's parent language's sound inventory better than any of the germanic rune alphabets.
>>601393
>I'd love to know know English in its original futhrorc alphabet.
It's not tremendously difficult, aside from the fact that it's actually phonetic. Trying to write in it "fluently" after using modern english orthography, you'll almost assuredly muck up distinguishing what vowel goes where...for a US native speaker, long-a/short-a distinction is pretty common as far as fuck ups go.
