The Proto-Languages of the World and Their Places of Origin
- 2026-04-15
On April 10, the 80th meeting of the Carahunge Armenological Center took place at the National University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia.
Topic: “The Proto-Languages of the World and Their Places of Origin from the Perspective of Different Sciences.”
The lecture was devoted to examining the issue that in the 19th century, the world’s languages were classified into approximately 60 language families without considering whether there were, in fact, around 60 corresponding regions on Earth where humans could have originated and survived under favorable conditions. A broad-scale study is conducted and presented, suggesting that only 5–8 such regions can be identified, although paleoanthropology has recognized only East Africa as the cradle of humankind.
Speaker: Hrachik Hakobjanyan, linguist, Candidate of Philological Sciences, Associate Professor at the Department of Linguistics of Yerevan Brusov State University, and founding member of the Carahunge Armenological Center.
