Indo-European

The Indo-European language family is a large group of related languages spoken across Europe, Iran, and parts of South Asia. These languages share a common ancestral language, called Proto-Indo-European, spoken thousands of years ago. Through centuries of migration and cultural exchange, this ancestral tongue evolved into many modern languages such as English, Spanish, Hindi, Persian, and Russian. The similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and structure among these languages reveal their common origins. Studying Indo-European languages helps linguists understand human history, migration patterns, and how languages develop over time through shared roots.
