Slovenian had heretofore been inaccurately classified as a South Slavic language, where in fact it is to be ranked among the West Slavic languages. This question continues to deserve all the attention it can bear, and this entire issue should be reassigned to a specialized subcommittee for future development and redirected out of Venetic research altogether. Venetic topology must be pursued, especially in areas where inscriptions do independently attest to earlier Venetic settlement. The importance of the Venetic runic inscriptions themselves must lead to the development of a separate and distinct scientific discipline, commanding the keenest focus of all Slavicists, for it does constitute the cultural patrimony of all Slavs. The high value of the ultra-conservative Slovenian dialects in the decipherment of these inscriptions has the potential of so enhancing the appreciation of Slovenian linguistics that those alpine dialects may yet come to be collectively hailed as the ”mother of Slavic languages." Research into these inscriptions should proceed ”full steam ahead" to produce credibly deciphered texts which can then later be analyzed by linguistic specialists who will write their descriptions in the conventional jargon of the trade. To achieve these goals, an institute is to be founded where the scholars of different fields (historians, archaeologists, ethnologists, linguists, etymologists, anthropologists, etc.) would systematically study the ethnogenesis of Slovenians and other peoples from the Stone Age on.
