Since alot of people Hypothesized over the Ethnic affiliation of Corded-ware groups in my previous post, let me give my own Interpretation of CWC Linguistics Some things such as Battle-axe, Single-grave and Temematic will be controversial, but i am willing to elaborate
Its important to say that these would only be dialectical difference at the time of Existance of Corded ware, and Bell Beaker changes things up as well. Dont treat these groups as speaking Germanic or balto-slavic, but as being the tribes which became their linguistic ancestors
@VVeltkrieger From what i have heard recently the Baltic-Slavic languages can’t have come from the first IE corded ware group to arrive in the baltic
@Tom_Rowsell I agree, would chronologically separate baltic from Slavic too early as well. Rzucewo is sometimes seen as proto baltic in the cwc but the Rzucewo culture is now recognized as independent from corded ware (it's also a good 400 years older)
@Maptysk Germanic coming from the Single Grave Culture, from which Bell Beaker is derived, and not from the Battle Axe culture, from which NBA is derived?
@sommarmaane NBA is not derived from Battle Axe. Its from the Dagger Period which is from Single Grave primarily with Beaker influence.
@VVeltkrieger why _para_-italo-celtic instead of proto-italo-celtic?
@DusanValent1 Because it would also include Ligurian and lusitanian which don't quite fit into italoceltic but are clearly related
@VVeltkrieger Corded Ware went extinct ~ 4200 years ago Oldest Germanic Language attestation ~ 2000 ybp Oldest Slavic Language attestation ~ 1600 ybp Oldest Italic ~ 2700 Baltic ~1000 ybp ?
@Vritrahan2014 Read the post I made in reply to this one.
@VVeltkrieger what do you think about Balto-Slavic possibly coming from Trzciniec?
@bulvinis Don't agree with it. Trzciniec formed in Poland from subcarpathian corded ware groups like mierzanowice, with bell beaker influence from the iwno culture, and from there expanded east and influenced dniper cultures. Look up temematic substrate, this is what I think trzciniec is
@VVeltkrieger greek? albanian? illyrian?
@Dljokl Not in corded ware
@VVeltkrieger @nrken19 I was under the impression that Indo-Slavonic diversified in Fatyanovo, and that Middle Dnieper was a pre-Indo-Slavonic, pre-Satem group ancestral to Fatyanovo
@GrecoPhilistine @nrken19 Middle dniper and fatyanovo appear at the same time
@ltsachse Corded ware is the ancestor of pretty much all European languages so it's not a stretch to identify these groups as evolving into the languages we know in the late bronze age
@VVeltkrieger Ooh, missed this the first time, thanks for the repost
