Wolfram Euler Explained

Wolfram Euler (born 5 May 1950) is a German historical linguist and Indo-Europeanist.

Scientific work

Euler gained his doctorate (Ph.D.) in 1979 at the University of Giessen under Professor Rolf Hiersche. Euler's thesis was on parallels in nominal formation between Indo-Iranian languages and Ancient Greek. The study contributed to the identification of Greek as part of the eastern group of Indo-European languages, in spite of the western geographic location of Greece.

Euler has published about 80 scientific articles and books covering most branches of the Indo-European languages; major contributions refer to the Baltic, Indo-Iranian, Greek and Germanic languages.

Family and private life

Wolfram Euler is a distant relative of the mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783). He lives in Munich, is married and father of a son.
