Parlez-vous Burushaski?

Burushaski - a language spoken in Pakistan - was recently tied to the Indo-European family line, which includes Spanish, English, German and many others.  According to the linguist who discovered the connection, Burushaski is most closely related to Phrygian – the language spoken in what is now Turkey about 3,000 years ago.  King Midas of the fabled Golden Touch was a Phrygian king in 800 BCE.  After the collapse of Phrygian rule, other kingdoms alternately ruled the land, including the Persians and Alexander the Great.  It is not inconceivable that the Phrygian people moved as far east as India.  In fact, the Burusho people claim that they are descendants of Alexander the Great.
