Borean languages
Borean languages: green - nostrat languages, red - dene-caucasian, yellow - austrian Borean languages (Latin haemispher borealis - northern hemisphere) - hypothetical language macrosis consisting of most of the languages of Eurasia, North Africa and the Americas. Borean languages would include such macrocosm as nostratic, dene-caucasian, amerindian and austeric. The Borean language theory was introduced by S. Starostin, who argued that the nostratical, dene-caucasian, and austrian languages are closer to each other than eg with the Bantu or Nilo-Saharan languages. The hypothetical progenitor of the Borean languages would be 15-20 thousand. This is probably somewhere in Eurasia.
