This prompted me to look up the (very short) articles on various ancient
languages of Asia Minor in the National Encyclopedia, where I learnt the
following astonishing "facts":

1) Phrygian is closely related to Macedonian and Greek.
2) Thracian is closely related to Phrygian.
3) Thracian is not closely related to Macedonian and Greek.

Can anyone with a knowledge of these matter tell me what's actually known or
plausibly surmised about this?
