India-based European scholars such as Gaston Coeurdoux and William Jones were already familiar with the ties among European languages.

Non-Indo-European languages of India include Dravidian languages such as Tamil and Telugu, while European languages outside the family include Basque, Georgian, Maltese and Finnish.
