The Czecklish language, along with its relatives, have only been discovered recently. In 2004 Jans Hochbäcker recorded and described the newly-found languages briefly in his article about the linguistic diversity of the Czech Republic. Shortly after its brief mention in the said article, his discovery was forgotten until about 2010. Since then, a team of six German linguists have recorded as much about Czecklish as possible. It is speculated that is may be the only other pre-Indo-European language in Europe besides Basque. The impossibility of linking Czecklish with its Indo-European neighbors in Europe has inspired many scholars to search for its possible relatives elsewhere. Besides many pseudoscientific comparisons, the appearance of long-range linguistics gave rise to several attempts to connect Czecklish with geographically very distant language families. All hypotheses on the origin of Czecklish are controversial, and the suggested evidence is not generally accepted by most linguists. Some of these hypothetical connections are as follows:<br /> | The Czecklish language, along with its relatives, have only been discovered recently.

* Indo-European: Possibly a mixing of a Indo-European and Proto-Liberec. Hansing proposed that the grammatical morphology came from Proto-Liberec, while the lexicon is derived from Indo-European. Many historical linguists consider this hypothesis unrealistic, as the first Indo-European loanwords entered Czecklish vocabulary in the 200s. It would be highly improbable that a mixing had occurred before the arrival of the Romans. There is evidence of language contact before the Roman conquest of Germania, though. The frequent trading between PL and PIE peoples during the late Neolithic and Chalcolithic did result in some loanwords | * Indo-European: Possibly a mixing of a Indo-European and Proto-Liberec.

* Tyrsenian: This relation is proposed mainly on geographic location. The closest Tyrsenian language to the Liberec sprachraum is Rhaetic. As Rhaetic itself is unclassified - being either a language isolate or Indo-European - this classification is controversial. So little is known about the Tyrsenian languages that the claim of genetic relation is ridiculous. Almost all linguists reject this hypothesis, but for the few that support it as an option. Those that do claim that Rhaetic was an isolate, and that the geographical location of Proto-Liberec was most likely in Austria, near the Alps.<br /> | * Tyrsenian: This relation is proposed mainly on geographic location.
