希臘-伊朗語族

希臘-伊朗語族或希臘-亞美尼亞-伊朗語族，是印歐語系一個假設的演化支，包含希臘語、亞美尼亞語和印度-伊朗語族。

希臘-伊朗-亞美尼亞語族大約在公元前3千紀中期從印歐語祖先中分化出來。

原鄉

依墳塚假說，希臘-伊朗語族也可稱為「晚期（原始）印歐語」：希臘-伊朗語族形成一組方言，對應公元前3千紀初印歐語原鄉的方言連續體。到公元前2500年左右，原始希臘語和原始印度-伊朗語分化並各自遷徙。^[1]

如果承認希臘-伊朗語族的存在，那麼希臘語和梵語中的格拉斯曼定律便可以有共同的解釋。然而，可以確定希臘語中的格拉斯曼定律發生在一些僅見於希臘語的音變之後，說明這一特徵並非繼承自兩者的共同祖先，更可能是影響了當時尚且連續的希臘-伊朗語地區的某種區域特徵。這應當發生在原始希臘語和原始印度-伊朗語分化後，長途遷徙前。

討論

希臘-伊朗語族最早由Wolfram Euler（1979）提出，他發現希臘語和梵語的名詞屈折系統很相似。^[2]比較神話學研究中，也認為兩者有很密切的關係，如馬丁·利奇菲爾德·韋斯特 (1999)^[3]和Calvert Watkins (2001)。^[4]

一個有爭議的假說^[5]^[6]將希臘語置於希臘-亞美尼亞語族中，^[7]有人據此將亞美尼亞語接收過來，組成「希臘-亞美尼亞-伊朗語族」，分化為原始希臘語（可能還包括弗里吉亞語）、原始亞美尼亞語和印度-伊朗語族的祖語。^[8]^[9]

希臘-伊朗語族在支持亞美尼亞起源假說的印歐語學家中尤為流行，他們認為原始印歐語的原鄉是亞美尼亞高原。^[10]^[11]^[12]
