Modern languages like English, Spanish, Russian and Hindi as well
as ancient languages like Greek, Latin and Sanskrit all belong to
the Indo-European language family, which means that they all
descend from a common ancestor. But how, more precisely, are the
Indo-European languages related to each other? This book brings
together pioneering research from a team of international scholars
to address this fundamental question. It provides an introduction
to linguistic subgrouping as well as offering comprehensive,
systematic and up-to-date analyses of the ten main branches of the
Indo-European language family: Anatolian, Tocharian, Italic,
Celtic, Germanic, Greek, Armenian, Albanian, Indo-Iranian and
Balto-Slavic. By highlighting that these branches are saliently
different from each other, yet at the same time display striking
similarities, the book demonstrates the early diversification of
the Indo-European language family, spoken today by half the world's
population. This title is also available as open access on
Cambridge Core.
