Basque and Catalan don't have an army but they do each have a police force.

Maybe it found you, as it's been following you all this time...

Someone tell them they can use their own domain.

Gobineau gave us the term Aryan, which does indeed have a linguistic connection. But it postdates and is distinct from Caucasian.

The use of Caucasian as a racial category is due to Johann Friedrich Blumenbach and based on skull shape and physical appearance. I wasn't aware he or others made any connections to language families at the time. The whole idea of the Indo-European language family came later I believe.

We all agree it's bullshit, but I've just never heard the version of the bullshit that claimed Caucasians speak Indo European languages. Even in the 18th century.

Actual Caucasians mostly speak languages unrelated to Indo-European such as Georgian, Chechen, etc.

What's the connection to language families?
