The Dene-Yeniseian Hypothesis: Between Siberia and North America (Дене-енисейские языки)
Hi Folks!
This video is slightly different from my usual content. Don’t worry, we’re still taking a look at a language macrofamily proposal, but this time I do a bit of talking to the camera at the beginning. There’s 9 whole minutes of it-feel free to skip, there are a lot of jump cuts as I recorded tired, around 2am in the morning. In terms of the edit, the video might be slightly rough around the edges because I’m trying to get the video out as soon as possible, as I will be traveling in the upcoming weeks! Nevertheless, we’ll cover some interesting stuff, and everything is referenced on screen or below in the description so you can take a closer look at the source materials yourselves.

Burushaski, a language spoken by a small and remote community in Pakistan, has intrigued linguists for decades. Described as "The Basque of South Asia," this linguistic isolate is a treasure trove of unique features, mysterious origins and a wealth of folk tales and customs preserved from their pre-Islamic beliefs. In this video, we will look at a basic overview of Burushaski, including • The c...

    Native Burushaski speaker here, Yasin dialect. Yasin dialect is comparatively hard dialect. I am 27 and I can't pronounce some words properly either. Additionally, in Burushaski there are no standalone words for some nouns for example there is no word for 'nose', either we have to say 'my nose' ='amush', 'your nose'='gomush', 'his nose'='mush', 'her nose'='mumush'. Similarly it's either 'my eye', 'your eye', 'his/her eye' but no standalone word for 'eye'. Now there is significant difference between Yasin and Hunza Burushaski i.e Yasin dialect is hard one even Hunza speakers don't understand it. Here are some words in Yasin and corresponding words in Hunza dialect, (Yasin, girls = gushangiya), (Hunza, girls= daseyo), (Yasin, mistake=arrhkan), (Hunza, mistake=tis), (Yasin, beautiful=sheali), (Hunza, beautiful=daltas), (Yasin, when=basha), (Hunza, when= belat), (Yasin, how are you=bozali ba), (Hunza, how are you=be hal bela). I personally feel that Yasin dialect sounds more like caucasian languages and Hunza dialect Macedonian.

    The myth of the PIE was raised by antisemitic people till todays. The PIE has its cradle in afro-semitic language, the issue in some case, it's to identify the semitic phones in the "reconstitued" PIE. Example, the phone ض appears in the PIE phone D, the phones ط and ت is the PIE single phone t. About the phone t, is also the pronoun YOU in semitic languages. The PIE myth is so inconsistent, their ideologues had tried to gather all european words in a single PIE, twisting the meaning and the phones. The obvious proof showing the semitic cradle of the PIE is the set of phones used. Amazing that the PIE believers can't realize this simple point. I gather since many years evident proves of semitic cradle for the PIE. Try to say to an hindu that his language came from semitic cradle, you'll see his reaction...

    Very interesting video, especially the parallels in folklore between Yeniseian and Na-Dene peoples... Curious what you think of David Bradley's argument for a connection between Dene-Yeniseian and Sino-Tibetan? He is a well-known linguist of Sino-Tibetan and he thinks there's evidence for a relationship between it and Dene-Yeniseian based on sound correspondences, verb/noun morphology and cognate core lexicon...this is summarized in his article "Ancient Connections of Sinitic."

    Theres been a recent paper that retested a lot of IE reconstruction classifications, dating, migrations, and it appears that Italo-Celtic is more of a sprachbund. Which is not to say theyre not in the same clade, but that Pre-Celtic has more in common with Pre-Germanic than Pre-Italic. Its not "Italo-Celtic" but more of "Italo-Celto-Germanic" Edit: nvm this was the Heggarty paper. I do think the Idea of "Italo-Celto-Germanic" and ongoing Sprachbunds make sense still, but thats from the wave model, not a debunked, problem-ridden paper

    I am Pakistani, and I find Burushaski intriguing. I am not a pro on this language but one thing I immediately noticed when looking at Burushaski lexicon is that it shared the word Maun "black" with Brahui, the Elamo-Dravidian language of Pakistan and remnant of Harappan culture. There were a few other words, and I will continue to research this. However, this leads me to believe that the Burusho must have been in close contact with the Harappan culture, before the coming of the Aryan language family and must've been in the same area of northern Pakistan going back even five to seven thousand years when the Harappan culture was at it's height. Somehow they also survived the coming of Aryan languages possibly by concealing themselves in the same northern mountains which are still their home to this day.

    Shouldn't be hard at all to see Illyrian/Albanian deep in antiquity with Greek dieties. Aphrodite (Venus) in Albanian is Aferdite, where afer= near and dite= day. Near day, or morning star. Instead linguists say it come from greek foam. Thalia muse if comedy. Albanian Tallja = The Mocking. Linguists say it comes from Greek Thalien, to flourish. Pythia, Oracle at Delphi. Albanian Pytja = The question. All kinds of worthless explanations connecting it to Greek. Demetria, godes of harvests. Albanian Dhemitra where dhe= earth and mitra= woumb/uterus. Thetis, goddess of the sea. Albanian Deti = Sea. Ionian Sea. Albanian = Deti Jon meanin Our Sea. Jon = Our in Alb. Same as Romans called the Mediterranean Sea, Mare Nostum (Our Sea) There are so many more just mentioning most obvious ones, that for some strange reason are not mentioned by linguists.

    Burushaski may be Para-Indo-European(which also explains some Kartvelian and NEC elements?, let's say Djeitun was Para-IE and it transferred Para-IE and Kartvelian/NorthCaucasian linguistic elements to Tutkaul), but highly speculative still "Burushaski appears to have almost no native crop or livestock vocabulary, but borrows heavily from Dardic and Tibeto-Burman for crops and from Dardic for livestock names. This strongly suggests that the Burushaski were originally hunter-gatherers who adopted agriculture following contact with their neighbors." Dardic, I've heard, and Pamiri(from Blazek), sub-branches are hypothesised to have Burushaski-like substratum

      Is there any autosomal data on them? If they had an elevated BMAC- or Tutkaul-like (i.e. WSHG) ancestry, it would support such an argument.

It's very difficult in my opinion, without ancient genomes from main region and periphery we can't see what happened Note that I think PIE was somewhere South of the Greater Caucasus Ridge instead of Azov-Caspian Steppe, so I just noticed both Caucasian and IE influences coming in and thought it works

    Great video, very cool to see you getting into Dene-Yenesian and Dene/Sino-Caucasian! I think starting with some of the lower level relations is a good way to go about it, and Dene-Yenesian being so convincing led to me diving in deeper to some of the D/SC literature (love Mother Tongue for this too!) and it really has a lot more depth to it than it's detractors realize. Couple of interesting points for you on Dene-Yenesian as a linkage and D/SC as a whole: 1. In a couple of places Vajda hedges that there could be some languages more closely related to Na-Dene or Yeniseian than either are to each other; Starostin and others have said that Na-Dene appears to be closer to Sino-Tibetan while Yeniseian is actually more related to the 'core' of Burushaski and then North Caucasian. Really interesting historical problem that also relates to the confusion about Sino-Tibetan's internal classification and whether the family originated in the Himalayas and expanded North w/ Sinitic being a lower level descendant or if it originated towards the north w/ Sinitic as a primary branch. 2. There's also a few assertions that Yeniseian and Burushaski are more or less immediate relatives in the same branch of the family, which is interesting for a few reasons itself, and in a similar vein Alexei Kassian thinks that Hurro-Urartian and Hattic (which most think are somewhere in North Caucasian) actually have some interesting parallels to Yeniseian. Michael Witzel's works on substratal languages in Indo-Iranian also has some interesting stuff on this. 3. Beyond all of this, it's really interesting that Indo-European seems likely to have had multiple periods of contact with Caucasian-like languages, whether it's proto-IE and NWC or NEC, Indo-Iranian and contacts with Yeniseian, the Early European Farmer substrate(s?) in Greek, Latin, German, Celtic etc.... so many potential scenarios for contact or influence, no wonder it's difficult to argue about what languages PIE actually are genetically related to!

    These supposed correspondences make me think that with the time depth in question it's possible languages that were originally related have simply changed so much that we can no longer see anything in common other than what you could call 'ghost markers'. It also makes me wonder if these proto languages could have borrowed some grammatical features from each other at a very early point. All of this could also be explained by the ancestors of Indo-European and Uralic speakers living in close geographic proximity. If we go back even further in time, there were only so many place humans could survive during the ice age. We're going so far back in linguistic history we'll probably never know.

    From a genetic (and AFAIK archaeological) viewpoint there were three pre-Columbian migrations to the Americas: 1. The Amerind or "Paleoindian" one, with Y-DNA Q1 (ultimately from West-Central Asia, where Q is rare-ish but most basally diverse) and your usual array of Native American mtDNA (mostly from East Asia: A, B, C and D, plus X2 which is from West Asia and parallels the migration of Q1). These people probably migrated via Altai to NE Asia in the early Upper Paleolithic (patrilocally assimilating local women in large amounts) and crossed to America via Beringia after the Last Glacial Maximum. 2. The Na-Dené one, which is dominated by Y-DNA C2 (originally from East Asia) and may have arrived NW North America c. 9000-6000 years ago, with a more recent secondary migration to Arizona and nearby areas c. 1000 years ago. 3. The Inuits, who are similar genetically to Amerinds but are known to have arrived from East Siberia some 1000 years ago, gradually replacing the previous Dorset culture or Tuniit people, who inhabited the Arctic before them. Notice that the Yeniseians are also similar genetically to Amerinds/Inuit rather than to Na-Dené but it must be said that other Q1-dominated populations like the Sakha or Altaians have also shifted language (in these cases to Turkic), so it's not per se a determinant, rather a clue of intense Siberian-American relatedness in general terms and there remain question marks of how they shifted language (if they did) and why did they migrate westwards to West Siberia and when (south of their area of settlement we observe first the early Uralics, dominated by mtDNA C, then the Bronze Age Tungusics, with lots of mtDNA D, followed the Iron Age Indo-Iranians, with European matrilineages mostly, and then likely the Ugrics, also Uralics, with whom they share the region to this day).

      @@LearnHittite Well, right off the bat I'm skeptical of this statement: "In order to prove a migration archeologically, it is necessary to be able to trace, step by step, the diffusion of a complete material culture - pottery forms and decoration, tools and weapons, architecture, funerary practices, etc. - from a specific region." Demoule doesn't provide a citation and that doesn't sound like something I've heard from archaeologists. Looking at, for example, historically attested Viking-age migrations, we see that once the Norse moved out of Scandinavia they rapidly adopted the material culture of the people around them. [Of course, in that case they also frequently adopted the language as well, as in Ireland, the Danelaw, and Normandy.] Granted, I'm coming at this from a background in biology, but the best evidence I could ask for of a migration is a genetic relation between descendants in place A and place B, preferably with archaeological DNA providing a terminus ante quem of arrival, and greater diversity in place A than in B. That's what we see in the migrations out of Africa, from Asia to the Americas, the spread of the Mongols with Genghis Khan and his close relatives, and the spread of the Austronesian peoples across Oceania and the South Pacific. The reason that isn't the primary form of evidence is the fact that genetic data is ephemeral. [I also bristle any time anyone talks about "proving" something outside of math and logic. We're not in the business of proof in the sciences and humanities. We're in the business of more or less useful hypotheses and frameworks, more or less likely scenarios.]

      @LaBelleTinker, I believe it's called "processual" in theory and would be fairly well known to Archaeologists. It could be a bit dated by now, which would be why I heard it pointed out in a ISAC (formerly OI) lecture. The common moniker says pottery don't speak, so I'm with you. Yet, you shouldbnot judge a book by its cover. PS: of course that's mostly pre aDNA, yet doubt about PIE is presented by MPI EVA, Heggsrty et al. with a selective determination of potential Hittite (?) remains, from what I gather. An to your ladt point, evidential procedure takes place in court all the time, yes it's opinionated, but it's philosophically grounded in a desire for truth in a sense on which logic is built, because you cannot prove truth logically since it is axiomatic to begin with.

      R is very old, especially R1b (IMO could be related to Gravettian but unsure), R1a is more recent, surely Neolithic, while the always forgotten R2 is only present at significant frequencies in India, where it's probably quite old too and where (Pakistan rather) R1* is also most diverse. Related are also Q (original maybe from Iran) and P1*, common in Bengal and Bihar and that probably indicates the pre-Upper Paleolithic westwards migration of P1 in general (which includes R and Q) from Indonesia, where K2b and P clearly coalesced first of all (with related branches in Papua but great basal diversity near Borneo). Q is unrelated to Indoeuropeans anyhow. In Europe the most clear marker of Indoeuropean genetics is R1a, which they probably incorporated in Ukraine and dominates Corded Ware (and also the distant Afanasevo culture of Altai, probably proto-Tocharian). In South Asia however R1a may be largely Neolithic and thus pre-Indoeuropean (Dravidian?) Associating R1b with Indoeuropeans is a very biased narrative (that almost certainly tries to "prove" that English are Indoeuropean also in their genetics, which is largely false). Western European R1b is only distantly related to the archaeogenetic R1b of Khvalynsk and East Yamna cultures and actually seems to have spread from two different sources: Denmark (?, maybe with Funnelbeaker culture) for R1b-U106 and more clearly Aquitaine or somewhere nearby for R1b-S116, which is most directly related to Bell Beaker culture, which is older by three centuries in SW Europe than in Central-North Europe. More research is needed but do not assume that R in general is Indoeuropean, that's a very biased narrative that doesn't fit the facts.

      There is some relation with Uralic languages, although IMO it's substrate/adstrate rather than core phylogeny. IMO the precursor of proto-Indoeuropean may have migrated from highland West Asia across the Caucasus as Neolithic farmers (of a different type than the ones settling most of Europe via Asia Minor and the Balcans, who were of Vasconic language primarily and had somewhat different genetics, much lower in Caucasus-Iran affinity especially). Uralics (originating in East Asia and carrying the patrilineage N1 and matrilineage C as main distinctive genetic markers) were the second wave of Siberian specialists, spreading after the Late Glacial Maximum (LGM) with a clear trend to the West, reaching Europe in the Epipaleolithic (and carrying with them East Asian cultural items like pottery and the association of Ursa Minor to water stuff instead of a bear). Before the LGM parts of Siberia were surely inhabited by the first cold climate specialists, who were (at least largely) the precursors of the Amerinds, with a likely origin at Altai and archaeologically traceable eastwards migration via North China and Mongolia (Upper Paleolithic arrival to East Asia c. 30,000 BP).

      Because our linguistic methods are insufficient. Archeogenetics links Proto-Indo-Europeans, Ancient Siberian populations and Ancestral Native Americans through their Ancient North Eurasian ancestry - the people group that lived around 25,000 years ago. We can trace Indo-European languages back to only 6500 years ago, and as for Siberian and Amerindian languages, farthest back in time we can reconstruct them is about 3000 years ago. As you see, there's a 19,500-22,000 year gap left in dark. Anything can happen in such long time.

      @@gwynbleidd_doethbleidd - What's "the southern arc hypothesis"? I believe I've watched some "Survive the Jive" videos and I don't like his bias, so I'm not bothering unless you're more specific. EHG = early Western Uralics (i.e. those who reached Europe in the Epipaleolithic and heavily admixed with WHGs within a patrilocal system). They did not speak Indoeuropean as such although they surely influenced it from below and as neighbors. Indoeuropeans, since the very beginning, show strong "Caucasus" (CHG or more likely something like Iran_Neolithic) genetics, stronger in the south and not really weak but somewhat weaker in the North. To this very day their influence is always associated to "Caucasus" component in Europe, although this one can also originate in other migrations like the Pelasgo-Tyrsenian one, which lacks EHG or other Siberian-like elements. The antithesis of "Caucasus" genetic influence in Europe are Basques (so good for the Vasco-Caucasian linguistic hypotheses). BTW, linguistically speaking Basque and PIE (and I mean PIE and not modern derived languages, which may have interacted in other ways) have around 15% of shared vocabulary, including hartz-*hrktos (bear) and hauts-*hehs (ash, dust). This connection must be from adjacency/sprachbund in West Asian Neolithic, there's no other reasonable explanation and, as proto-Vasconic surely originated in Southern Anatolia, proto-PIE existed probably in historical Armenia (now NE Turkey) before migrating northwards and admixing with Uralics both in genetics and vocabulary.
