The concept of Nostratic languages began to be used in recent decades and refers to languages that developed after the disintegration of a common language called Nostratic, approximately 17,000 to 18,000 years ago. The considered Nostratic languages are: Indo-European languages (Illyrian, Greek, Thracian-Dacian-Romanian, Italic, Celtic, Slavic, Baltic, Armenian, etc.), Afroasiatic, Kartvelian, Uralic, Altaic, Dravidian, and Sumerian. After the 2008 edition of the Etymological Dictionary of the Romanian Language, based on Indo-European studies, the author, Dr. Mihai Vinereanu, discovered the book by researchers A. Bomhard and J.C. Kerns, recently published. Studying ancient European languages, they identified 612 Nostratic roots. M.V. analyzes them and concludes that of these, 216 lexical roots can be applied to the Romanian language. The publishing house Alcor Edimpex, to which the author turned, undertook this second study and published it in a new book, in Romanian-English, in an exemplary, technical serial format. Once again, the Introduction is particularly important as it brings new clarifications regarding the antiquity of the Romanian language. The author's position is further confirmed by the pre-Indo-European roots found in the most common words of the Romanian vocabulary, which old etymological lexicographies considered to derive from Latin, Slavic, Turkish, Albanian, or of unclear origin, but not from Thracian-Dacian-Romanian, as this work proves.
