The number of years N(r) since two independently evolving languages split off from a common ancestral language is approximated by N(r) = -4000 ln r
The number of years N(r) since two independently evolving languages split off from a common ancestral language is approximated by
N(r) = -4000 ln r
where r is the proportion of the words from the ancestral language that are common to both languages now.
N(0.5) =
