IndoEuropean

It turns out that most of the major language families are related into one superfamily, referred to as Indo-European. They are associated with various groups of migrants that appeared during the BronzeAge, around 2000-1600 BC. Huge amounts of information about PIE lexicon and grammar have been inferred. Discussion about actual proto-IE culture has been stalled, though, by its association with the racist doctrines of NaziGermany.

The various subgroups of Indo-European include:

CelticLanguages

GermanicLanguages

ItalicLanguages - including LatinLanguage and its descendants, the RomanceLanguages

IllyrianLanguages

GreekLanguage

SlavicLanguages

AnatolianLanguages

IndoIranianLanguages, e.g. SanskritLanguage
