Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is the theorized common ancestor of the Indo-European language family. Its proposed features have been derived by linguistic reconstruction from documented Indo-European languages. No direct record of Proto-Indo-European exists.
Far more work has gone into reconstructing PIE than any other proto-language, and it is by far the best understood of all proto-languages of its age. The vast majority of linguistic work during the 19th century was devoted to the reconstruction of PIE or its daughter proto-languages (such as Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-Iranian), and most of the modern techniques of linguistic reconstruction (such as the comparative method) were developed as a result.
PIE is hypothesized to have been spoken as a single language from 6500 BC to 3500 BC during the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, though estimates vary by more than a thousand years. According to the prevailing Kurgan hypothesis, the original homeland of the Proto-Indo-Europeans may have been in the Pontic-Caspian steppe of eastern Europe. The linguistic reconstruction of PIE has also provided insight into the culture and religion of its speakers.
As speakers of Proto-Indo-European became isolated from each other through the Indo-European migrations, the regional dialects of Proto-Indo-European spoken by the various groups diverged from each other, as each dialect underwent different shifts in pronunciation (the Indo-European sound laws), morphology, and vocabulary. Thus these dialects slowly but eventually transformed into the known ancient Indo-European languages. From there, further linguistic divergence led to the evolution of their current descendants, the modern Indo-European languages. Today, the descendant languages, or daughter languages, of PIE with the most native speakers are Spanish, English, Portuguese, Hindustani (Hindi and Urdu), Bengali, Russian, Punjabi, German, Persian, French, Marathi, Italian, and Gujarati.
PIE is believed to have had an elaborate system of morphology that included inflectional suffixes (analogous to English life, lives, life's, lives') as well as ablaut (vowel alterations, for example, as preserved in English sing, sang, sung) and accent. PIE nominals and pronouns had a complex system of declension, and verbs similarly had a complex system of conjugation. The PIE phonology, particles, numerals, and copula are also well-reconstructed.
Asterisks are used as a conventional mark of reconstructed words, such as *wódr̥, *ḱwṓ, or *tréyes; these forms are the reconstructed ancestors of the modern English words water, hound, and three, respectively.

You unlock this language when you speak all modern indo European languages
LOL
Speaking just a couple of the best preserved ones (e.g. sanskrit, Lithuanian, Greek) would probably do the trick
Lol good luck learning:
- the hundreds of Indo-Aryan (North Indian) languages and dialects, with different scripts, numerals and three-word gendered verbs (the second part of which has many different tenses and is split further into two for “ is [gerund]”)
- the Slavic languages with even more tenses and word endings
@@chris-2496 I know most Latin and Greek roots and recognize it
@@chris-2496 I am from Bengal, India and my mother tongue is Bengali which is almost directly related to Sanskrit. I had Sanskrit as a fourth language during classes 7 and 8 when I had to learn Sanskrit along with English, Hindi, Bengali. Let me tell you, learning Sanskrit might be the toughest thing I have ever come across in my life. By the way Sanskrit is a perfect language, that means there are no exceptions like we have in English.
its so weird how recognizable yet foreign this sounds
especially when you speak different languages and be like "oooh thats who they are connected". but thats the whole point of this language... :D
If you are european regardless whether you are germanic, slavic, latin...a lot of the words will sound familiar because that how our shared ancestors sound like.

BAHAHA RIGHT
That’s how we spell it as people who both speak English and use the Latin alphabet. The original script (if there was any in common use by these people at this time) would have looked very, very, very different
@@AryaOghuz How would one be able to tell how it might have looked?
@@nathangames1576 That’s my point, we don’t know how it was written, if it was written at all. This is the way we spell it with a modern Latin alphabet
@@AryaOghuz At the time of PIE, there were no written languages. The oldest written Indo-European family language is Hittite.

The Baltic languages are said to resemble the Proto-Indo-European language the most. It's incredible how in the modern Lithuanian language you can encounter words that are also found in Latin or Sanskrit.
how mutually intelligible is PIE and Lithuanian?
@@greensprite6067 Not mutually intelligible if you don't have any prior knowledge of PIE, although you can pick up some obvious words: Deiwos - Dievas, Wlkwos - Vilkas, ect. But if you have knowledge of consonant changes like the PIE g, k changing to a ž, š in Lithuanian then the odds of getting more words is higher.
Latin: Cardis (C is pronounced as K)
Lithuanian: Širdis (Both meaning heart)
Human in Lithuanian is Žmogus, the PIE equivalent contains a g sound.
Not every g has become a ž tho:
Gyvas (alive)
Gyvuoti (to thrive/live)
Gyvatė (Snake).
Not every k has become a š too.
Akis (Eye)
Kraujas (Latin equivalent: Cruor, meaning gore or bloody meat.)

In Persian it is still tu.
It is cognate with English thou, which is no longer in use.

Who would have thought
When a word describes something very important, it changes less over the centuries. That's why the words for the most important concepts - mother, father, numbers, etc. - change the least. So I guess snow and wolves must have been very important to the Russians. Hmmm, I wonder why. :)
It's very interesting how all of us are connected. I speak Spanish and I could recognise many words of my language and it really surprise me that even russian people are finding some words of their actual language. We are all one big family!!
“Even”? 😆 It’s descendant of PIE the same way as spanish
Yeah I'm Russian and learning Spanish is very easy for me because half of the vocabulary is simular to Russian words and another half is similar to English ones. Also the grammatical categories are just the same as in Russian though there are some differences
Only if you're pure Spanish by blood.

Kurdish is a branch of PIE. Many words in Kurdish-Persian remain using in English for instance ‘mar’ in Kurdish might refer to snake while in English might refer to hurt.
I speak French and English and I was recognizing tons of words too. Some were very close to archaic sounding French or English.

Listen, I've been picking apart PIE phonology myself these past couple days pretty much for fun, trying to get a plausible set of phonemes for a late Yamnayic dialect continuum, and I can tell you, someone here clearly went deep into their research. I cannot commend enough your efforts here, people usually dont think that stressing the syllables in the 'Horseman's tongue' would work any different from Latin, Greek or Gothic, so It's amazing to hear someone faithfully display the tonal stress method - attested in older branch offs from 'late PIE' such as Proto-Indo-Iranian

They did not. It's a matter of coincidence that these words ended up with this pronunciation in Romanian from the equivalent words Latin. It's a sign of authenticity and legitimacy that words loose their original pronunciation and spelling because that's a sign that you using this word for a very big period of time and eventually changed. On the other hand recently adopted words maybe pronounced and spelled anachronisticly because they have no life, no usage in your actual language.

Interesting how the word 'I' diverged - egH in PIE became 'ek' in proto-germanic, which became 'ic' in Old English and 'ich' in German. But egH turned into 'ego' in Latin
I froze myself when I heared udens. How the hell that form stayed only in Latvian? It's amazing.
Three of the words were exactly like in my language, too. I think that's the point: Every Indo-European language has preserved at least a few of the original PIE words in their original forms.
In linguistics, there is a popular opinion that Baltic languages are probably the most archaic Indo-European languages, at least from vocabulary and morphological perspectives.

Armenian is so weird.
it's honestly amazing how much linguists have managed to recreate the sound of PIE. even though this is a hypothetical reconstruction of what it may have sounded like, i can pick up words from multiple languages in this. at the very least i can understand where the roots of english words fit into some of these. also quite a few words from latin sound very similar, and a few words sound almost exactly like words with the same meaning in greek (dakru->dakry, peu->pinw).
you did a great job with the speaking andy!
Its so fantastic that I understand some of these in my language ( Greek ). Like, Tear = dakri, honey = meli, star = asteri, foot = podi and a lot more.
If you change the kw into p, the gw into b, and the khw into ph you get 99% Ancient Greek vocabulary.

i’m currently studying lithuanian and it actually kind of blows my mind how much closer to PIE lithuanian “feels” compared to english. language evolution is so cool
As a Sinhalese(Indic) speaker from Sri Lanka, I felt so familiar with proto Indo European.
Love how 'human' sounds like 'digimon'
incredible how manithan sounds like man
the word Human came from PIE word *dhghmon
Marathi: Mānava
@@minusarseboy3430 perhaps the greek " to hemon " is related to this, which means "the us"
if everyone knew we were descended form digimons, pie wouldnt be such a controversy in many countries
Sorry We Tamils descend from MANitha
LOL
You can get an approximation of pi by calculating 4 * ATN(1).

It is very very similar to sanskrit, it is fascinating 😮
I'm Greek and currently learning Russian, I can see soooo many similarities between these languages
well and a lot of words came to Russian from the Greek language. Because Greek and Latin had a great influence on many European languages.
It's interesting how the god in the story, Werunos, sounds a lot like the greek god Uranus
And Slavic Perun
in fact, many greek (and non-greek) gods are actually proto-indoeuropean gods, per example dyews is dione, and also the etymological origin of the romance word for god (dio/dios/deu...)
Ouranos/Uranus evolved from the Skyfather trope that existed in all Indo-European/Arian religion. That deity is the most constant across all Indo-European cultures and it is almost certain that he was the primary god of the proto-Indo-Europeans.

As some one who studied Latin and ancient greek in college... Speaks English, Hindi, Urdu, Persian some dutch and french as well as few other languages (non PIE related) it's crazy how I can see the influences! My mind is jumping all over the place! Truly INDO EUROPEAN ❤️

Very nice video, I can hear many many words in my Kurdish language that we still use today with slight changes comparing to proto into european language.
hey, what's going on my bʰréH₂tér
I'm going *dʰéǵʰémon
I'm a native Russian language speaker and In my language i found a lot of words which are still sound the same as in proto indo-european😳
Indo-Europeans Lived along the Pontic Steppe. Possibly Near Crimea. So Russians didn't move very far. So people closest to that place will speak less changed versions of Indo-European language
@@edwardelric717 There were no Russians, no Slavs there....there was just one nation - teutas, tuath,tud,theod,tchjad
@@edwardelric717It is also because Russians remains isolated because of cold climate.Hence they don't get influenced from other cultures and remains one of the closest language to PIE languages.
There's so much similarity but I'd like to point out 1 in particular
"Tod hestu" sounds so much like the Sanskrit "tatha astu" which means the exact same thing and is said by Hindu Gods when then grant you something
I'm Indian I speak 3 of these languages with native proficiency. I can recognise almost all of it but she is speaking in a nordic tone
Small world
Didn't expect the connection but i guess that's where ir comes from
Seed (PIE): SeHmn
Semen, sperm (seed, in a way): pronounced in Spanish as "Sehmen"
And the root was conserved in another word, "semilla" (literally seed)
Almost all of the numbers sound like Lithuanian, while many other words have clear Latin/German cognates
You can find quite a lot of other PIE words that are similar to Lithuanian: words for body parts, some animals, honey, family members etc.
Lithuanian is considered the oldest European language still alive

Parece mucho al Griego ,y a las lenguas balticas
Es lógico estos pueblos ,Indoeuropeos, empezaron a diferenciarse lingüísticamente ,al dispersarse por diferentes ,territorios de Asia y Europa , de hecho la lengua hitita ,fue descifrada comparándola con el Griego clásico ,Latín Antiguo y Germánico antiguo ,y vieron que era una lengua indoeuropea
It's amazing how similar proto Indo European is too Lithuanian and Latvian. Starting off with just the numbers, a ton is almost identical
As a Latin teacher, this video is going to be a true treasure for me and my students moving forward!
this is insanely simillar to latin and lithuanian
When I heard the first numbers I thought I was listening to some kind of Old Lithuanian!!
PiE: Modern Lithuanian:
Oynos Vienas

*Treyes Trys*
*Ketwores Keturi*
*Penke Penki*

Judging by this pronunciation, the early Indo-Europeans would exhaust half of their daily energy supply just to form a simple sentence.
This is just a reconstruction, it's most likely a bit more inaccurate than most people think.
I am Romanian and I can understand most of the words only with different letters
I'm speak spanish and i can't understand too much
I have listened to it I have heard and seen so many words that is still used in Kurdish language Hundreds of them that means Kurdish language belongs to indo European language family It’s amazing to see that our ancestors or the languages that are spoken all over Europe Middle East specially the Iranian tribal languages and also languages that can go as far as India and further comes from only one language Obviously the pronunciation of the words has slightly changed or changed a bit which is normal because when you look at the date that it was spoken it’s about 7000 to 10,000 years ago But as I said there is hundreds of words in Kurdish that is still usable and spoken still today which I have seen on the video
Although our southern Slavic languages are more connected with Sanskrit.
The numbers are identical almost, so there is no point of writing them down.

It's so amazing that so many words survived, but seemingly all in the different languages. I read here that Romanian has even some same spellings, as a german I recognize many german words' origins, others I found in English or Italian, so much stuff left in slavic languages and so on ... I wish I knew more languages to follow all the travel routes of those words
linguistics is like a diferrent side of the same coin the other side is history on its own its fucking cool
As for the Slavic part I m serbian and I recognized for exemple to snow sneigwh in PIE and sneg or snjeg in serbian. It s pronounced very similarly although in serbian it means the noun snow not the verb. For other words I could figure a common root or a resemblance for exemple nas (nose) is nos in serbian or dreu (tree) is drvo etc I d say I can vaguely recognize some words but the majority leans more toward latin and greek I feel
@@nadiaarsenijevic8594 same for russian
4:05 this part is so interesting to me, as it sounds like "Qui", showing certain similarity with the Portuguese "Que".
Wow im Persian and so many words were similar, its amazing .
Yea literally the pronouncing of family 😅
It's somewhat uncanny yet awesome to find words in the Indian languages I speak, namely Punjabi and Hindi, and European ones like Spanish that sound exactly the same, especially tu (you) along with the numbers. You can probably fit over 90% of the words here in them together.
"Gweneh" for woman is the origin of queen, kvinna, zona, zena, gyn (Kurdish), gynecology, etc
The Virgin English
The Chad German
The Thad Sanskrit
The Lad Proto Indo-European
It's amazing to see how some words are almost exactly the same in contemporary Serbo-Croatian, and I guess in other Slavic languages as well.

I can't believe that even in Proto-Indo-European, the numbers are recognizable. Not only that, but they are recognizable to *ALL* speakers of Indo-European languages! That's 3.2 billion people!
so if ppl find familiar words in this PIE, might be because " Its proposed features have been derived by linguistic reconstruction from documented Indo-European languages." and no actual record of those words exist.. Thanks for the uploader for that comment in the description, as i've been wondering where people all of a sudden got all this PIE vocabulary (like STJ) and using it fluently in references :D
so, no wonder every country has its' 'hey i know that one' -moment :)
So basically we're one family all the way from Bangladesh to Ireland.

This is extra weird if you know two indo-European languages that seem different
Yeah same i know Sanskrit/hindi and English.
And it's carzy to see the similarities.
Sanskrit is actually very similar to PIE
Same thing here when comparing an Iranian language like Farsi to a Germanic one like English or German or with a Latin one like French or Spanish. Iranian languages didn't have any contact with Latin or Germanic people.
WOW I am from Lithuania . Numbers sounds very similiar to Lithuanian. And some random worlds also. Nice.
It's amazing how the pronoun "tu" (in spanish "you") has kept its original pronunciation for such a long time.
Also the word for salt "sal" is the same in spanish
Tu means you in Lithuanian too. :) Btw, it isn't ''true'' PIE language, check description.
In Farsi, an Iranian language, we say to for you, so it's very similar to the Latin languages.
Amazing video.
Waiting for Proto-Semitic. I'll be very excited to see proto-Semitic.
I am marathi sanskrit speaker. I can identify 99% words.
its because Marathi is not polluted with Arabic and Turkic influence like Hindi.
Proto Indoeuropian language doesn't exist no proof only based on theory.
As a kurdish, I can understand many words.
Yes, huge parallels with Russian. For a native speaker it's easy to see the words evolution, considering Russian is a satem language, so many K sounds became S and also Gh sounds became Zh.
I love all the comments
This language sounds like all of our languages because she is the shadow of the mother to us all.
I'm Greek and since Greek is one of the very first Indo-European languages, they're are a lot of similar words that I understand here.
Farsi is also one of them old Indo-European languages, it's 2 500 years old, got the same feeling 😀
