Jean Haudry (28 May 1934 – 23 May 2023) was a French linguist and Indo-Europeanist. Haudry was generally regarded as a distinguished linguist by other scholars,[1][2] although he was also criticized for his political proximity with the far-right.[1] Haudry's L'Indo-Européen, published in 1979, remains the reference introduction to the Proto-Indo-European language written in French.[3]

In his various writings, Haudry has sustained the old Nazi thesis that placed tile Indo-European homeland in the Arctic (i.e., the whitest, most Nordic place on earth) while also championing counterrevolution, and denouncing the proclamation of the 'Droits de l'homme' (4 August 1789) as the origin of modern decadence.

... a clever if controversial book, the principal merit of which may ultimately lie in the rethinking and discussion which it is bound to stimulate.
