Good Morning Blam. Wish I had the great article I read several months ago by a prominent archeologist/linguist who made the point that relying on language patterns to come to conclusions about peoples is very perilous. He said that as a backup or confirming factor it is OK, but otherwise it is most unreliable. I note with interest how many posts on this thread are relying on language rather than archeology.
I agree. But, I am left to speculate with whatever information is available.
