  • Summary

    The chapter deals with the Indo-Iranian subfamily, its internal division and characteristic features, and its relation to the other subfamilies. While it shows some interesting unique features, it also often agrees with other branches in particular ones. While some of these are common archaisms, sometimes only attested in a few branches due to the different times of attestation, others are innovations, but mostly they can be parallel or part of an areal spread. Thus, no other branch can be clearly shown to be the nearest relative of Indo-Iranian.
