Oops forgot to turn off my italics. I hardly ever preview. Like 97+ of the time. Depends on conversationalist.
Everyone makes choices. You can only ride the fence blinded. Land on the side where the Light prevails.
Your choice whatever the cost, my FRiend.
Language spread means that it is hard to connect the dots for language families greater than 10KYA.
The Indo-European was relatively easy to tie together as it is relatively young (4000 YA) and well written down.
The Sino-Burmese was also easy.
The Austro-Asiatic - Malay, Tagalog, Hawaiian, Maori etc. is also very young - 2KYA
The Afro-Asiatic is ancient, but most have been written down for millenia
The tricker are things like the Finno-Ugaric, the Yenisean, etc. languages and don’t even get started on the multiple language FAMILIES in Australia or PNG
