			The evolution of Proto-Greek could be considered within the context of an early [[Paleo-Balkan languages\|Paleo-Balkan]] [[sprachbund]] that makes it difficult to delineate exact boundaries between individual languages. The characteristically Greek representation of word-initial [[Laryngeal theory\|laryngeals]] by [[Prothesis (linguistics)\|prothetic vowels]] is shared, for one, by the [[Armenian language]], which also seems to share some other phonological and morphological peculiarities of Greek; this has led some linguists to propose a [[Graeco-Armenian\|hypothetically closer relationship between Greek and Armenian]], although evidence remains scant.
