Tocharian and Indo-European Studies is the central publication for the study of two closely related languages, Tocharian A and Tocharian B. Found in many Buddhist manuscripts from central Asia, Tocharian dates back to the second half of the first millennium of the Common Era, though it was not discovered until the twentieth century. Focusing on both philological and linguistic aspects of this language, Tocharian and Indo-European Studies also looks at it in relationship to other Indo-European languages.

Georges-Jean Pinault is professor of linguistics at the Ecole pratique des hautes etudes, Paris.

Michaël Peyrot Michaël Peyrot is post-doc researcher at the University of Vienna on Tocharian and Indo-European linguistics.

She has published in particular about the Classical Armenian language and nominal word formation in Indo-European languages.
