Kartvelian Lexical Correspondences with Uralic and Altaic Languages
Les correspondances lexicales entre les langues Kartveliennes et celles des familles Ouralienne et Altaïque
Résumé
Kartvelian is often considered as isolated group of languages, spoken in Georgia. However, its incorporation in the Eurasiatic or Nostratic macro-family is based on some rather conclusive evidences of non-hazardous correspondences between Kartvelian and other neighbor languages, especially Indo-European. Here we will point out that some correspondences between Kartvelian and non-Indo-European Nostratic languages put them lexically closer to Turkic and Finno-Volgaic languages. Neither Ugric nor Mongolic languages does not seem to have some significant correspondences with Kartvelian languages. Lexical correspondences prove to have much more areal that hierarchical proximity.
