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.

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.

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

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.)

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.
@@RoxyCherryRozy dude you're excluding like 80% of all spanish speakers, which still have spanish genes in þeir blood
I'm polish and I recognized about 15% pretty easily, especially "snow" which is same in polish language - śnieg :)

@@igroteka90 it is the same for russian and polish
I could recognise almost 50% in lithuanian as it sounds really similar or the same, but of course the writing changed

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.
It is very very similar to sanskrit, it is fascinating 😮
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
As a Lithuanian and Samogitian native speaker, I understand 90% of these words. 👍
Yeah, because Baltic languages such as Lithuanian and Latvian preserve most of Proto-Indo-European(PIE) vocabulary than other branches of PIE.
And 90% of the world's population do not even know about the existence of Lithuanian and Samogitian languages, ha ha!
im learning lithuanian and the only major similarities for me were in the numbers and in a couple words, but probably not 90% or so.

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.

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.

@@il967 kurds not meant only nomads. kurds describe iranian north Western nomad. Nobody call Turks or Mongolian as Kurds. That's mean like "Vikings". Or like "Gypsie".
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.
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).

PIE: Look at my numbers. They’ll never change. Oinos, duoh, treyes, kwetores.
Armenian: Oh you mean like this? Mek, yerku, yerek, chors
4 is actually similar, same sound change took place as in the slavic languages "kw - č"
@@shayt3506 bitch you call that "Similar"?
Right so much change.
@@genesisbustamante-durian kw change to ch it will be similar to Russian or Armenian four. Four is much more different then than chetireh in Russian or chors in Armenian.
Armenian is so weird.
If you change the kw into p, the gw into b, and the khw into ph you get 99% Ancient Greek vocabulary.

Most of PIEs reconstruction compared Ancient Greek, Latin and Sanskrit so that's not surprising 😀

@Matei It still is. The language is called ellinika (hellenic from Ellas/Hellas). But the english language and some others refer to them as Greeks (from grekos). Turkish use two words for greeks, one that means romans ("rum" due to the eastern roman empire) and the other from Ionia (to my understanding that's what they use mostly today as they call Greece "yunanistan")
@@hectork-l9670 ρε φιλε ελεος. ειναι ανασφαλεια να μαλωνεις τους ξενους επειδη λενε greek αντι για "ελληνικα". Και για τους γερμανούς λένε "german" και όχι "deutsch". lol
Warm in PIE: Germ
Warm in Persian: GARM!!!
Warm in hindi : Garam
In Bulgarian it's toplo lol
Rather "goreshto" being closer cognatively means hot
@@ashray9871 garam is a Persian loanword. Sanskrit is gharmaḥ.
@@aliceinwonderland4395 Zhar and gori are the Slavic cognates to garm, warm.
@@caraxes_noodleboi there's no loan word you ignorant. All these languages are related to each other. Garm in persian comes from Garma in ancient persian. These words are from same origin
this is insanely simillar to latin and lithuanian
WATER in English, and VODA in Russian (Slavic), and proto is WODR, but there is also WEDOR, and in Russian VEDRO is a bucket for water
Russian Russian tree, DEREVO, but old Russian DREVO. TO SNOW, (proto SNIEGwh) in Russian, snow will be SNEG.
And here is a comparison:
ENG. RUS
(Talking). (Tolk, talkoviy)
(son). (sin)
(my). (Moy)
(three). (tri)
(wolf). (volk)
(video) (And we have VIDET', VIDEL,
. VIŽU, it's to watch)
Eau (french) ~ aqua (latin) ~ ow/ob (pers) are probably 1 root another IE root "water"
@@user-jo4vy9fs2x i'm not sure, but once i listened to lecture about old russian. they said that old russian only has open syllables. maybe drevo is from old-church slavonic, not old russian.
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

its sad, that other channel is gone
i feel like its a burned museum
and i hope this channel is ok
What happened??? I also noticed that all these videos are suddenly too recent...
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
I'm Greek and currently learning Russian, I can see soooo many similarities between these 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
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.
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
@@brol1092 dont forget the taboo bear
@Scott Johnson Sanskrit is actually a living language. Search up the village of “Mattur” it is a village that speaks Sanskrit as a mother-tongue. Many people in Nepal reported speaking Sanskrit.
@@FirstLast-hz8ut Actually Sanskrit survives in all modern Northern Indian languages(the UE ones at least), it wasn't just this hoodoo voodoo language only the high and mighty could speak.
When I heard the first numbers I thought I was listening to some kind of Old Lithuanian!!

Interesting. It's hypothesized that of all the Indo-Europran languages, Lithuanian changed the least and is closest to what the original Indo-Europrean sounded like!
"du" praleidai :P
😮 Very very similar to Sanskrit.
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 ❤️
Yes Very interesting. If you want to know how althochdeutsch old high German sounds, here one of the first poems from the 9th century.

Wow im Persian and so many words were similar, its amazing .
Yea literally the pronouncing of family 😅
It's amazing how similar proto Indo European is too Lithuanian and Latvian. Starting off with just the numbers, a ton is almost identical
its so interesting how this has spread across the entire world!! i would love to study linguistics one day
And I appreciate you putting in the design of the frame images with Cucuteni pottery. Cucuteni were Anatolian farmers.
as a spanish speaker the similarities seem even closer
Wow, this is so cool! I def recognised words in my own language! 😊
Amazing! I recognize so many roots of greek words in this that it is mindblowing! Awesome work!
greeks, spanish, Italian, french ect... they are all so closed to this language and yet so far, that's amazing

So basically we're one family all the way from Bangladesh to Ireland.
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.
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)
0:34 Sounds like Digimon.
"Gweneh" for woman is the origin of queen, kvinna, zona, zena, gyn (Kurdish), gynecology, etc
You are such an amazing CZcams it’s crazy ❤️🔥
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
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
This channel is awesome! ❤️
Please make Proto-Turkic language Ilovelanguages video next 🙏🏻 :)
so many languages descended from this from English to Spanish to French to German to Italian to Greek to Polish to Russian to Persian to Urdu to Hindi to Bengali
when the imposter is pig 1:44
I recognise many words similar to modern Portuguese 😱
@unklarnamenpflicht
Evidence please.
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.
Sounds the most like Persian and Sanskrit to me
Yet it sounds similar to other languages
WOW I am from Lithuania . Numbers sounds very similiar to Lithuanian. And some random worlds also. Nice.
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
So digimon is person. Would love to see some evidence of this word existing in this context
