Tocharian and Indo-European Studies is the central publication for the study of two closely related languages, Tocharian A and Tocharian B. Found in many Buddhist manuscripts from central Asia, Tocharian dates back to the second half of the first millennium of the Common Era, though it was not discovered until the twentieth century. Focusing on both philological and linguistic aspects of this language, Tocharian and Indo-European Studies also looks at it in relationship to other Indo-European languages.
Georges-Jean Pinault is professor of linguistics at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris. Michaël Peyrot is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Vienna. Jens Elmegård Rasmussen is associate professor and head of the Roots of Europe—Language, Culture, and Migrations Centre at the University of Copenhagen, where Thomas Olander is assistant professor.
