I hadnt got the time to read the whole preview yet, so if the answer to my question is in it, please don't slaughter me.
What language did these fellas speak? I only know that due to some childish nationalistic issues there was a debate (especially prior to the 2nd WW) whether they "were" celtic, germanic or proto-slavic.

Very impressive work cmacq. You are bringing a lot of academic rigour and completeness to the mod which makes it only shine harder.

Ok, what is a pre-Satem language? A language that would later evolve in a Satem language? Or did you mean a Satem language that (or whos "neighbours") would later evolve into the Baltic languages?

Thank you.

PS: I have to admit that I consulted Wikipedia on this subject and, there Baltic languages arent event mentioned...
Hoooooray for the eb team!

Some of this is useful, and some is just plain wrong.
