Description

Article // Journal of Indo-European Studies. — 2007. — Volume 35, No 1 & 2 — Pp. 53–81.Over the years linguistics and archaeology have been synthesized in order to explain how various language families formed. However, studies examining the problem from a uniquely geographic perspective are lacking. This study examines how the Proto-Germanic language formed. Archaeological, geo-genetic, and temporal data were gathered and placed into a GIS for analysis using statistics and intersects. The results suggest that Proto-Germanic was formed somewhere in southern Scandinavia through a process of intermingling after an initial clash between an indigenous agricultural group and an intrusive tribe from the North Pontic Steppes.
