Career

Loukotka proposed a classification for the languages of South America based on several previous works.[3] This classification contained a lot of unpublished material and was therefore superior to all previous classifications. He divided the languages of South America and the Caribbean into 77 different families, based upon similarities of vocabulary and available lists. His classification of 1968 is the most influential and was based upon two previous schemes (1935, 1944), which were similar to those proposed by Paul Rivet (whom he was a student of[4]), although the number of families was increased to 94 and 114.[5]

Честмир Лоукотка (чеш. Čestmír Loukotka, 12 ноября 1895, Храштяны у Ческего Броду — 13 апреля 1966, Прага) — чешский лингвист, антрополог и историк. Специализировался в американистике, индейских языках и истории письменности. Ученик и последователь Б. Грозного, некритично относился к его наследию, книга «Развитие письма» содержит большое количество ошибок[прояснить]. С другой стороны, внёс большой вклад в классификацию южноамериканских языков и в изучение культуры индейцев. В 1947 г. избран постоянным членом Общества американистов, а в 1958 г. первым из европейцев стал членом Бразильского антропологического общества, позднее — также членом Французской академии. Его дочерью была писательница и переводчица Ярмила Лоукоткова.
