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, this volume also looks at Tocharian in relationship to other Indo-European languages.

Birgit Anette Olsen is professor of Indo-European Linguistics at the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics at the University of Copenhagen, and previously leader of the five-year University of Copenhagen excellence programme Roots of Europe (20082013). She has published in particular about the Classical Armenian language and nominal word formation in Indo-European languages.

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