Dear list members,

 

I take pleasure in announcing my new, small monograph on Central Asian

substrate languages, just

published in Victor Mair's SPP series:

 

Linguistic Evidence for Cultural Exchange in Prehistoric Western

Central Asia.

Philadelphia: Sino-Platonic Papers 129, Dec. 2003 [released just now]

 

Together with a forthcoming paper on the Central Asian etc. sources of

Rgvedic religion, to be published from Groningen within the next few

months, a firm basis will be available to trace the ultimate Afghan,

Central Asian and S. Ural origins of much of the Rgveda:

 

The Rgvedic Religious System and its Central Asian and Hindukush

Antecedents.

In: A. Griffiths & J.E.M. Houben (eds.). The Vedas: Texts, Language

and Ritual. Groningen 2004 (forthc.)

 

Best, MW
