PIE vocabulary

PIE vocabulary refers to the words that were part of the Proto-Indo-European language, the hypothetical common ancestor of many modern languages such as English, Spanish, Hindi, and Russian. Linguists have reconstructed these words by comparing similarities across related languages. This vocabulary helps us understand what early speakers of PIE might have known or valued, like words for family, animals, nature, or basic actions. Studying PIE vocabulary provides insight into how languages evolve over time and how different cultures are interconnected through shared linguistic roots.
