Where does “ethnolinguistic” come from?
I need to analyze this etymology chain carefully, but I notice the chain appears malformed or incomplete. It lists "Ancient Greek ἔθνος" and "Ancient Greek -ικός" as separate items, includes repeated "Proto-Indo-European -kos" entries, and ends with "Proto-Indo-European dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s" which doesn't clearly connect to the headword "ethnolinguistic."
The word "ethnolinguistic" should derive from "ethnic" (from ἔθνος "ethnos" meaning "nation/people") + "linguistic" (from "lingua" meaning "language"). However, the provided chain doesn't clearly show this structure or provide a coherent path.
Given the instruction to "state only what the chain supports" and not invent steps, and given that the chain as presented is unclear or incomplete, I cannot write an accurate one
