The term salmon argument (German: Lachsargument) is used in Indo-European studies[1] to refer to an outdated argument in favour of placing the Indo-European urheimat in the Baltic region as opposed to the Eurasian Steppe, based on the cognate etymology of the respective words for salmon in Germanic and Balto-Slavic languages. It is also known as the salmon problem.[2]
