Armenian
No one knows how to recunstruct Proto-Armenian or even what Proto-Armenian is. Please don't add Proto-Armenian. Also, Beekes is fringe. Vahag (talk) 11:37, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Could not phrase it better. Fay Freak (talk) 12:18, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Then what to explain the millennia long gap between Classical Armenian and Proto-Indo-European? Why is there a double standard on reconstructing Proto-Armenian that bridges this missing link? Also, I'd like to hear an explaination for why Kortlandt is supposedly fringe. 83.233.244.250 14:30, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * For the uselessness and speculativeness of single-descendant protolanguages see User_talk:Vahagn_Petrosyan/Archive_8 and Requests_for_deletion/Reconstruction. As for the Leiden school to which Kortlandt and Beekes belong, their originality and audacity in proposals has become a meme. Search for reviews yourself. Their work is valuable and can of course be used if it is done by a well-read, sceptical and intelligent user. You shouldn't mindlessly copy-paste their reconstructions.
