Linear A

"It is quite possible to propose a hypothesis that the “Linear A” attested before some particular date in the 17th century BCE (i.e., between 1700 and 1600 BCE) may have had a significantly different linguistic base than the Linear A attested after that date.It would be quite difficult to refute such a hypothesis, since so little of the older Linear A exists, and that which does contains so few words and signs."

"The author concludes that the resemblances that can be plainly seen between the 10 Linear A inscriptions and the corresponding Sanskrit forms, words, and phrases presented and analyzed in this paper are much closer than could possibly be due to pure random chance coincidence alone.... If the resemblance were due to pure random chance coincidence alone, the Linear A words would not correspond with the Sanskrit forms as closely as they clearly do... But in the author’s view, it is clear that the language of the 10 Linear A inscriptions presented and analyzed in this paper must represent some dialect of an Indo-Aryan language."
