Summary/Abstract: N. D. Andreev's theory, labelled Proto-Boreal, surprised – I may say – the scientific world by its large spectrum of linguistic problems: Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Uralic and Proto-Altaic (later he also added Korean) were considered as newer, derived branches from an older linguistic group labelled Proto-Boreal. It is also a difficult book as various languages are put together, regularly considered as belonging to different families according to traditional classifications.
