  Nostratic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Nostraticist Allan R. Bomhard considers Eurasiatic to be a branch of Nostratic, other branches being Afro-Asiatic, Elamo-Dravidian, and South Caucasian (Kartvelian).
Claims (by Aharon Dolgopolsky, among others) that the words reconstructed for Proto-Nostratic point to a pre-agricultural society in the Middle East (as one might expect for a language pre-dating Proto-Indo-European) have been dismissed by mainstream linguists as wishful thinking exacerbated by that very expectation shaping the results.
An example of the techniques used by supporters of Nostratic is given by a passage from 'The Nostratic Macrofamily, a Study in Distant Linguistic Relationship', by Allan R. Bomhard and John C. Kerns.

Von den meisten Linguisten wird die nostratische Hypothese deshalb auch nicht akzeptiert; sie halten es für utopisch, mehr als 10 000 Jahre zurückliegende Sprachverwandtschaften zu rekonstruieren.

Nostratic is a linguistic macro-family as well as a tentatively reconstructed language deemed to have been spoken circa 15,000 BCE by mesolithic hunter-gatherers somewhere around the Middle East to North Africa.
One laryngeal *h with a simple three-vowel system of *a, *i and *u is better over Bomhard's "ablaut" which is derived from a misanalysis of the superficial similarities of the phonological systems of Kartvelian, IndoEuropean and AfroAsiatic and only helps to obscure important connections.
The term Eurasiatic is far removed from the Greenbergian definition, whereupon it is made up not only of Bomhard's Eurasiatic languages (IE, Uralic, Altaic, ChuckchiKamchatkan, Gilyak, EskimoAleut) but also Dravidian, Elamite and Sumerian, in order to distinguish their seperate development from AA and Kartvelian, the two most ancient branches of the Nostratic family.

Bomhard's reconstruction of a phoneme Hh for earliest Indo-European might be true but it is totally irrelevant since it has no observable effect on the forms into which IE will develop, i.e.
If one looks at the IE root Bomhard proposes, it is hard to see how he was able to interpret it as "to bend, to twist, to turn" when the meaning quite clearly appears be centered around the idea of 'loosening' by whatever method of manipulation.
Bomhard mistakenly lists Egyptian zw3, 'pass', with which there are two problems: 1) the word is s(-)w3 not zw3; and 2) it is a s-causative of w3, 'fall': 'cause to fall'.

As soon as sorting and indexing programs have been prepared, this organization will disappear utterly: individual PIE entries will appear alone on a web page with their various reflexes, somewhat like the material "between lines" in the current pages, and will be found via index lookup of PIE forms (incl.

Of the 477 reconstructible Proto-Nostratic forms cited by Allan Bomhard in his "Lexical Parallels between Proto-Indo-European and Other Languages," 24%, by my count, are glossed by such meanings as "damage, injure, twist, burn, crush, hurl" and the like.
