INDO-EUROPEAN LANGUAGES

INDO-EUROPEAN LANGUAGES
The Indo-European of languages is the world’s largest, embracing most of the languages of Europe, America, and much of Asia. It includes the two at classical Germanic languages such as English, German, Dutch, and Swedish; the Romance languages such as Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese; the Celtic languages such as Welsh and Gaelic; the Slavic languages such as Russian, languages, Lithuanian and Latvian; the Iranian languages such as Sanskrit and Hindi; and other miscellaneous languages such as Albanian and Armenian. In Europe only Basque, Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, Turkish, and a few languages of Russia are not of this family; the others have apparently all descended from an original parent tongue.
　　
Who were the original Indo-Europeans and when and where did they live? The general consensus is that the original Indo-European civilization developed somewhere in eastern Europe about 3000 B. C. About 2500 B. C. it broke up; the people left their homeland and migrated in many different directions. Some moved into ece, others made their way into Italy, others moved through Central Europe until they ultimately reached the British Isles. Another division headed northward into Russia, while still another branch crossed Iran and Afghanistan and eventually reached India. Wherever they settled, the Indo-Europeans appear to have overcome the existing population and imposed their language upon them.
