"From what I've read, referring to language origins and development, language origins can be traced back to the Anatolian region (eastern Turkey)." That relates only to the Indo-European languages.

"From what I've read, referring to language origins and development, language origins can be traced back to the Anatolian region (eastern Turkey)." That relates only to the Indo-European languages.

Indo-European got started in the westernmost part of the Eurasean plains. The words in different Indo-European languages that are related do not fit in with the geography, animals, ect. of Anatolia, but they do fit southern Russia. Now, the actual Indo-European people are mostly descended from Anatolian farmers, but the language was imposed by conquering horsemen.
