On page 44, figure 1 of Roy Andrew Miller's book
"Japanese and the Other Altaic Languages," the author
presents a chart showing Old Bulgarian and Chuvash as
descendants of "Proto-Western Altaic," which is itself
derived from Proto-Altaic. Although the book, which runs
for over 330 pages of text, presents evidence that Miller
believes shows Japanese to be a descendant language from
Proto-Altaic, I find the Bulgarian/Altaic connection at
least interesting.
Of course, reading through this book makes me, as my
Tamil friend says, "scratch at my brains" to follow the
logic. Maybe Japanese, Bulgarian and some other languages
are related to Altaic. Maybe not. As reading goes, the book
comes close to being as mind-boggling as a trigonometry text.
But I'm sure that my mentioning it will start a flame war
about Bulgarian. (I wouldn't know, personally. I don't have
the foggiest notion about Bulgarian.)
