Neolithic Europe - Neolithic languages
How many Neolithic languages existed is not known, nor whether the ancient names of peoples believed, in ancient times or now, to have descended from the pre-ancient population referred to speakers of distinct languages. Marija Gimbutas, observing a unity of symbols marked especially on pots, but also on other objects, concluded to a possible single language (The Language of the Goddess, 1989) spoken in Old Europe. She thought that decipherment would have to wait for the discovery of bilingual texts.
The idea of a “pre-IE” language in the region precedes Gimbutas. It went by other names, such as "Pelasgian" or "Mediterranean." Apart from the pot marks, the main evidence concerning it (or them) is the names: toponyms, ethnonyms, etc., and roots in other languages believed to be derived from one or more prior languages, possibly unrelated. Reconstruction from the evidence is an accepted, though somewhat speculative, field of study.
For example, Sorin Paliga defined a possible Old European language, which he termed "Urian" or "Urbian."
