A new section has been added in the Annex of this URL,
titled:

An alternative model for language studies.

A reference is made to the following:

1. Nicholas Ostler's (2005) view of Language History of
the World as the History of Empires of the World. This
includes a reference to Sanskrit.

2. Tore Jansen's (2002) Short History of Languages

These are juxtaposed to a History of indo-european
languages by Gamkrelidze and Ivanov (1990).

These perspectives should re-inforce the need for a
Language History of Bharatam as the History of Bharatam
Janam. This will be a history of the contributions made
by jaati, janajaati to defining Hindu civilization and
Hindu identity. Categories of Chandas, Sanskrit (arya
vaacas), Jaatibhaasha (mleccha vaacas) may provide some
leads into delineating and documenting this Language
History of Bharatam based on literary texts, epigraphs,
songs, sculptures and akshara mushtika kathanam together
with an understanding of the evolution of des'a bhaashaa
jnaanam mentioned by Vatsyayana in Vidyaasamuddes' a. A
magnificent beginning has been made by Prof. Malaiya.

See
http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~malaiya/scripts.html

This database has to be carried forward with to outline a
language history of bharatam. Such an effort will be a
contribution to the history of thought.

This could be one alternative, after rejecting the non-
falsifiable IEL.
