Kalevi Wiik (born 2 August 1932 in Turku) is a professor emeritus of phonetics at the University of Turku, Finland. He is best known for his controversial hypotheses about the effect of the Uralic languages on creation of various Indo-European languages in northern Europe, such as Germanic, Slavic, and Baltic languages. Like Marija Gimbutas before him, he has tried to combine archaeology with linguistics in order to locate the origins of European peoples. He also bases much of his hypothetical structures on results of genetics.
