| Mathematical linguistics, geography, archaeology, mythology, onomastics, ethnography are consolidated for the exploration of prehistoric ethnogenetic processes in one project under the common name Alternative Historical Linguistics. The main instrument of the research is a special graphic-alalytical method developed by the author and described 1987 in a Russian academical magazine. The essence of this method consists in the construction of the graphical models (diagrams) of the mutual relation of monophyletic languages. These models are constructed on the postulate of the inverse-proportional dependence between the quantity of common words in the pairs of cognate languages and the distance between the areas of forming these languages out the unitary originative language. Proper places for each such model were been determined on the geographic map of Eurasia. |
| According to results of the study, the ancient Bulgars which are the ancestors of modern-day Chuvashes settled the territory of the West Ukraine during long time. Later they migrated to Pontic steppes where they were known as the Scythians. Till now predominant part of scholars supposes that the descendants of the Scythians are the Ossets. However many linguistic and achaeological evidences persuade the main deal of the Scythian consisted the tribes of ancient Bulgars. Such supposition finds confirmation in ethnography. |
| Especially, the grat similarity of Ukrainian and Chuvash embroidery can evidence about contacts between the Ukrainian proto-ethnos and some Bulgarish tribe on the territory of the West Ukraine. Contrariwise, the Ossetic embroidery is far in style and manner as from the Ukrainian as from the Chuvash embroideries. One can persuade about it here. The very such similarity can be random or have other reason but it is of importance together with place names of Bulgarish origin in the West Ukraine and archaeological data. |

The project “Alternative linguistics” could not be realized without the assistance of specialists and moral supporting of my near friends. I thank them heartily. All names could not be mentioned here but these respected persons are worthy of individual thanks for my start in the science, methodological assistance during the preparing my article with the first description of the graphic-analytical method: Doctor V.T. Kolomiets, Academician A.S. Melnichuk (Kiev, Ukraine), Academicians G.G. Litavrin, N.I. Tolstoy, V.V. Sedov, and V.N. Yartseva (Moscow, Russia). I am especially grateful to the leaders of German-Ukrainian project “Transformation processes in the Western Ukraine” Professor Harald Plachter (Philips Universität Marburg, Germany), Professor Mechthild Roth (Technische Universität Dresden, Germany), Dipl.-Biologist Stephan Niemeier (Frankfurt am Mein, Germany) for the technical possibility to work in the frames of this project. I also thank my friend Doctor Mykola Zharkykh for the assistance in the preparing to the publication of two my books “The Study into Prehistoric Ethnogenic Processes in Eastern Europe” (1998, 2000), Elena Romanova (Montreal, Canada) , Norm Kisamov (Plymouth, USA), and Tim Lelchuk for the special literature, translation in English of some my texts, Professor Osman Karatay and Fatih Şengül (Turkey) for the special literature, the translation my works in Turkish and the publication them in Turkey, and also Martin Markovič for the acquaintance with the works of Czech scholars carrying interdisciplinary researches on the osculation of humanities and natural sciences.
