Authoritative study of the Proto-Indo-Europeans

Postby Luigi » Fri Feb 03, 2017 7:12 pm

Proto-Indo-Europeans were a tribe which lived about 6000 years ago, probably in SW Russia, and who spread their language across Europe, Iran, and India. That language is the common ancestor of most languages in those regions today, including English. Linguists are able to construct it by studying its modern descendants and how languages change over time. The first reconstructions of it in the late 19th century created the shift in European consciousness from a Christian identity to an "Aryan" identity(Arya- was a term which denoted the warrior class of the proto tribe). This 2006 text from the the Oxford University Press is the most authoritative study of the Proto-Indo-European world to date, and a friend of mine recently sent me this link which has it available for free download or online viewing. Just thought I would share it with you all. Very interesting stuff!
