Abstract

Cognate words within language families derive from common protowords and are transformed by regular sound changes. The demonstration of regular sound changes between pairs of languages is a major tool in proving that they belong to the same language family. This paper applies association rule data mining to identify regular sound changes between Finno-Ugric languages and Pre-Greek, which Robert Beekes identified to be a single language, which can be called the Minoan language.
