	Language isolate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A language isolate, in the absolute sense, is a natural language with no demonstrable genealogical (or "genetic") relationship with other living languages; that is, one that has not been demonstrated to descend from an ancestor common to any other language.
		Language isolates may be seen as a special case of unclassified languages, being languages which remain unclassified even after extensive efforts.
		Neither should isolates be confused with isolating languages, languages in which morphemes generally exist in the form of full-fledged words, as opposed to synthetic languages.

	Language family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A language family is a group of genetically related languages said to have descended from a common proto-language.
		The concept of linguistic ancestry is less clear-cut than the concept of biological ancestry, as in cases of extreme historical language contact, in particular the formation of creole languages and other types of mixed languages; it may be unclear which language should be considered the ancestor of a given language.
		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.

		Most languages are known to belong to language families ("families" hereforth).
		Thus, provincial dialects of Latin ("Vulgar Latin") gave rise to the modern Romance languages, so the Proto-Romance language is more or less identical with Latin (if not exactly with the literary Latin of the Classical writers), and dialects of Old Norse are the protolanguage to Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Faroese and Icelandic.
		Ainu language or languages (Russia, Japan) (like Arabic or Japanese, the diversity within Ainu is large enough that some consider it to be perhaps up to a dozen languages while others consider it a single language with high dialectal diversity)

		He notes that words for body parts are commonly replaced in secrtet languages by disguised forms, and goes on to gives the sources and deriations of some of the replacement forms, and, a bit later, suggests that Nihali jiki `eye' might perhaps (originally) be a descriptive term.
		The older language is remade and socially reconfigured - with a `creole-style grammar', this perhaps for (some) use as a secret language, perhaps with argot-style speech deformation in some of the lexicon.
		The language is heavily relexified, Melghat Korku being the lexifier.

	Kalto language - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Kalto or Nahali is a language isolate spoken in west-central India (in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra) by around 5,000 people.
		The language has many loans from Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, and Munda languages, but much of its vocabulary cannot be related to other language families.
		Kuiper (1962) conjectured that it is unrelated to any other Indian language but, even if that is so, its vocabulary has over the millennia been heavily influenced, in turn by Munda, Dravidian and latterly, Indo-European Marathi.

		It is noteworthy that this influence was spent by the end of the pre-Christian era, a precious indication for the linguistic history of North India: Dravidian speech must have practically ceased to exist in the Ganges valley by this period...
		Nahali was spoken on the River Tapti, NW of Ellichpur in Madhya Pradesh.
		Nahali language (like Basque or Burushaski) is an isolate language unrelated to the Indo-European family.

		Surprisingly some 30% of the terms are of unknown, language "X" origin, and only 9.5% of the terms are from Drav., something that does not point to the identity of the Indus people with a Drav.
		Turning further South, the language isolate Nahali is spoken on the upper TaptI river on the border of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
		The speakers of modern Nahali, to be short, the Nahals are the remnants of the first Indian population.

		Caucasian languages (which many scholars divide into two to four unrelated families) tend to have SOV word order and ergative case systems-- the same can be said of Basque, which has led to plenty of speculation but no solid proof of relationship.

		S.P. Upadhyaya) reaching similar conclusions, is the multifarious kinship of the Dravidian language family with African languages of the Sahel belt, from Somalia to Senegal (Peul, Wolof, Mandè, Dyola).
		As Sergent notes, all Melano-African languages have been credibly argued to be related, with the exception of the Khoi-San and Korama languages of southern Africa and the Afro-Asiatic family of northern Africa; so the kinship of Dravidian would be with that entire Melano-African superfamily, though it would be more conspicuous with some of its members.
		Europe is almost entirely IE-speaking, with Basque serving as the European counterpart to the Khoi-San languages in subequatorial Africa, a left-over of the original linguistic landscape largely replaced with the conquering newcomer, IE c.q.

		The first type of language contact is the exchange of vocabulary and other linguistic traits, whether by long-distance trade contact, by contiguity or by substratum influence, between languages which are not necessarily otherwise related.
		It is suspected that the centre of dispersion of the Sinitic languages was near the Koko-nor lake, at the borders of China proper, Tibet and Mongolia.
		This family of languages is the one with the second greatest geographical spread after IE: from Madagascar through Malaysia and Indonesia, Taiwan and the Philippines, to Melanesia and Polynesia, as far south as New Zealand, as far east as Hawaii and Easter Island.

	Genealogy of Human Language
		While the Celtic language is assumed to have arrived in Western Europe overland from Central Europe, the legends of the early Celtic Kings depict their dynasty as traveling via ship.
		Mundic, Burushaski, Nahali (or rather their ancient precursors) and the hypothesized Language X are the candidates for ancient Indian languages predating the Harrappans.
		The Aryan languages are so similar to Slavic and Greek that the Aryan precursors could not have left the common ``I-E Homeland'' before 3000 BC and probably left even later.

	5.4. LINGUISTIC ARGUMENTS
		If Kuiper is wrong, it would mean that as per the prevalent theories, not a single living language in the subcontinent (except for the peripheral languages Burushaski and Andamanese, at least for now) is indigenous.
		This would indicate that Dravidian was still a single language covering a small area in the early Harappan period, after having entered the country from the West.
		Thus, both language families exclude voiced and aspirated consonants and all consonant clusters at the beginning of words.
