We have discussed the processual model of the language change and dispersals in the prehistory of the Indo-European languages, which is developed in the writings of C. Renfrew. The model is often called Anatolian-farming hypothesis because he has proposed the homeland of the Indo-Europeans as the central Anatolia region, thus the origin of Indo-European languages and the farming caused the dispersal of Indo-European speaking population in the entire prehistoric Europe. The model, being generalizable, has much explanatory power for the dispersals of languages in other languages, language branches and language families well-defined and/or ill-defined in the world.
