Dene-Caucasian languages
From Freepedia
The Dene-Caucasian (or Sino-Caucasian) language family is a conjectural macrofamily containing the Sino-Tibetan, North Caucasian, Yeniseian and Na-Dene languages. The theory, first scientifically formulated in the 1980s by Sergei Starostin, is based in large part on the work of Alfredo Trombetti, Karl Bouda, and Edward Sapir. Many linguists, in particular John Bengtson, have proposed including Basque as well. However, due to the uncertainty of comparative linguistics, this has never been demonstrated unequivocally, and many linguists do not accept that these language families are related.
