  1. proto-indo european

    Proto-Indo-European (PIE) refers to the hypothetical, prehistoric ancestor of all Indo-European languages. It's believed to have been spoken by the Proto-Indo-Europeans, who lived during the Neolithic period around 5000-2500 B.C. The existence of PIE was hypothesized by linguists who noticed similarities among various Indo-European languages, suggesting that they evolved from a common linguistic ancestor. However, as there are no written records of this language, reconstructed versions of PIE are all hypothetical.
