The Proto-Kartvelian language, or Common Kartvelian ((グルジア語:წინარექართველური ენა), ''ts'inarekartveluri ena''), is the linguistic reconstruction of the common ancestor of the Kartvelian languages, which was spoken by the ancestors of the modern Kartvelian peoples. The existence of such a language is widely accepted by specialists in linguistics, who have reconstructed a broad outline of the language by comparing the existing Kartvelian languages against each other.〔Britannica〕 Several linguists, namely, Gerhard Deeters and Georgy Klimov have also reconstructed a lower-level proto-language called Proto-Karto-Zan or Proto-Georgian-Zan, which is the ancestor of Karto-Zan languages (includes Georgian and Zan).〔Klimov (1998), p. VIII〕 ==Influences== The ablaut patterns of Proto-Kartvelian are highly similar to those of the Indo-European languages, and so it is widely thought that Proto-Kartvelian interacted with Indo-European at a relatively early date. This is reinforced by a fairly large number of words borrowed from Indo-European, such as the Proto-Kartvelian '' *mḳerd-'' (breast), and its possible relation to the Proto-Indo-European '' *ḱerd-'' (heart). Proto-Kartvelian '' *ṭep-'' (warm) may also be directly derived from Proto-Indo-European '' *tep-'' “warm”.〔 It is also asserted that the name of wine in Indo-European languages is borrowed from Proto-Kartvelian *ɣwino, implicating quite close relations between these languages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Proto-Kartvelian language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
