Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Indo-European languages spread primarily through migration?

Yes. A reference synthesis states that linguistics, archaeology, anthropology and genetics have established that Proto-Indo-European daughter dialects spread through migrations of large populations, alongside elite recruitment. Other sources describe steppe migrations and Yamnaya expansion carrying Indo-European languages, though several cover only one branch or scenario.
