Boreal languages edit

In the 1980s, Russian linguist N. D. Andreev [ru] (Nikolai Dmitrievich Andreev) proposed a "Boreal languages [ru]" hypothesis linking the Indo-European, Uralic, and Altaic (including Korean in his later papers) language families. Andreev also proposed 203 lexical roots for his hypothesized Boreal macrofamily.

Boreal is not Borean. Boreal is instead more similar to Greenberg's Eurasiatic. — Sagotreespirit (talk) 16:26, 2 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
