Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Indo-European language family. [1] No direct record of Proto-Indo-European exists; its proposed features have been derived by linguistic reconstruction from documented Indo-European languages.
The Proto-Indo-Europeans are a hypothetical prehistoric ethnolinguistic group of Eurasia who spoke Proto-Indo-European (PIE), the reconstructed common ancestor of the Indo-European language family. Knowledge of them comes chiefly from that linguistic reconstruction, along with material evidence from archaeology and archaeogenetics .
This reconstructed parent language is sometimes called simply Indo-European, but in this article the term Proto-Indo-European is preferred.
Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is the reconstructed ancestor of the Indo-European languages. It is thought that PIE was spoken during the late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age - about 4500 - 2500 BC, possibly in Pontic-Caspian steppe north of the Black Sea.
This is the English version of Academia Prisca 's automatic Proto-Indo-European dictionary-translator. The work contains correct usage of Late Proto-Indo-European words - with emphasis on North-West Indo-European lexicon -, their proper meaning, derivatives in early Indo-European dialects, and laryngeal roots.
The proposed Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Indo-European languages, spoken by the Proto-Indo-Europeans. From the 1960s, knowledge of Anatolian became certain enough to establish its relationship to PIE.
Indo-European languages - Proto-IE, Family Tree, Subgroups: By comparing the recorded Indo-European languages, especially the most ancient ones, much of the parent language from which they are descended can be reconstructed.
This book introduces Proto-Indo-European, describes how it was reconstructed from its descendant languages, and shows what it reveals about the people who spoke it between 5,500 and 8,000 years ago.
As the linguistic ancestors of nearly half of the world’s population, the Proto-Indo-Europeans have left an indelible mark on human civilisation. In this post, we will explore who they were, where they likely came from, how their language was reconstructed, and how their heritage has been appropriated and distorted by pseudoscientific ideologies.
Mallory and Douglas Adams show how over the last two centuries scholars have reconstructed it from its descendant languages, the surviving examples of which comprise the world's largest language...
