Sometime between 3500 BC and 2500 B

Sometime between 3500 BC and 2500 BC, the Indo-Europeans began to fan out across Europe and Asia, in search of new pastures and hunting grounds, and their languages developed - and diverged - in isolation. By around 1000 BC, the original Indo-European language had split into a dozen or more major language groups or families, the main groups being:HellenicItalicIndo-IranianCelticGermanicArmenianBalto-SlavicAlbanianIn addition, several more groups (including Anatolian, Tocharian, Phrygian, Thracian, Illyrian, etc) have since died out completely, and yet others may have existed which have not even left a trace.These broad language groups in turn divided over time into scores of new languages, from Swedish to Portuguese to Hindi to Latin to Frisian. So, it is astounding but true that languages as diverse as Gaelic, Greek, Farsi and Sinhalese all ultimately derive from the same origin. The common ancestry of these diverse languages can sometimes be seen quite clearly in the existence of cognates (similar words in different languages), and the recognition of this common ancestry of Indo-European languages is usually attributed to the amateur linguist Sir William Jones in 1786. Examples are:father in English, Vater in German, pater in Latin and Greek, fadir in Old Norse and pitr in ancient Vedic Sanskrit.brother in English, broeder in Dutch, Bruder in German, braithair in Gaelic, bróðr in Old Norse and bhratar in Sanskrit.three in English, tres in Latin, tris in Greek, drei in German, twee in Dutch, trí in Sanskrit.is in English, est in Latin, esti in Greek, ist in Gothic, asti in Sanskrit.me in English, mich or mir in German, mik or mis in Gothic, me in Latin, eme in Greek, mam in Sanskrit.mouse in English, Maus in German, muis in Dutch, mus in Latin, mus in Sanskrit.
