Here I presented: Morris Swadesh, “Salish Internal Relationships”, International Journal of American Linguistics, year 1950, volume #16, pages 157-167.
SUMMARY.
The Salish language family are languages of the Pacific Northwest in North America. The locality is British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
A cladogram is a diagram representing a tree. This diagrammatic representation is frequently used in Biochemistry’ and Linguistics. Biochemistry’ uses DNA to construct the cladogram (shown BELOW). The branches of the cladogram are an evolutionary tree.
.
Swadesh proved that lexicons of all language in linguistics, obey the equation BELOW. This exponential decay constant ( λ , lambda ) is equal to 19% vocabulary decay per millennium.
This equation is called the Swadesh Glottochronology Formula.
