It depends on the time depth. We have a good sense of what Proto-IE and Proto-Uralic was around 3000 BCE. If the split-up of Indo-Uralic was some 3000 years before that, then that should be provable with a lot of research. However, if the split-up was more like 6000 years before that, then it there...

I wouldn't even be too sure about living organisms. I'm going to assume you know very little about biology. Also, although it's never happened I think a conlang could hypothetically have become the main language of a people. Totally off-topic. I also think that "human languages" and universals pre-...

What's interesting from all of the above, is that we have a large group of languages, that very, very likely descended from a single language (because of all the points Salmoneus pointed out above) but are very difficult to classify as a single language family because all "normal" ways to establish ...

So I did! Appologies, and thanks for paying attention :). Also, I'd say "19e" (better: 19^e), I don't think 19-e is common in Dutch writing.

it sounds like the ZBB consensus is that we all know the Indo-Uralic genetic link is true, but it's just a matter of finding the right evidence to prove it beyond any doubt... There's very little people actively discussing these topics, so it's easy to reach a consensus if you've got only a handful...

I worded to incorrectly, but that's no reason to call me a troll. I'm asking because "dead" can be either a noun or an adjective while "kill" can be either a noun or a verb ("to kill").
