This feat would have to rank with Sassure's "prediction' of
laryngeals, since I had only vaguely heard of Bangani while I was
formulating my theory.


From all I've heard, Zoller's Bangani data is pretty sus, and his theory
that it's a centum language has been dead for years. But it was quite exciting while it lasted. See the discussion at

For those who prefer not to believe anything they read on the web, here's a book reference:
