The deviant typological profile of the Tocharian branch of Indo-European may be due to Uralic substrate influence
Abstract Tocharian agglutinative case inflexion as well as its single series of voiceless stops, the two most striking typological deviations from Proto-Indo-European, can be explained through influence from Uralic. A number of other typological features of Tocharian may likewise be interpreted as d...

Abstract Tocharian agglutinative case inflexion as well as its single series of voiceless stops, the two most striking typological deviations from Proto-Indo-European, can be explained through influence from Uralic.

The supposed contacts are likely to be associated with the Afanas’evo Culture of South Siberia.
