What could be these two languages [ ] and English have in common? In fact, English and [ ] as well as other languages are moving in the air like Indie are related. Something discovered by change, two hundred years ago by a multilingual english lawyer Jones.
He was a judge that went to India in 1783 but he studied languages, oriental languages, before he went. When he went to India he become very interested in learn sanskrit which is the language of ancient India that is first written about in 580; and then he realised, that a great discoverd was the sanskrit resemblance in someway and has relationships with Greek and Latin and other languages and he gave a very famous [ ] in which he says that came from some common sources.
Its surprising that no one saw the resemblances earlier. Take the numbers again for example:
The sanskrit on the right, has the strongest semblance to Latin and Greek on the left, but well, one, two and three of this, four and five needs a closer look to see the conexion.
Linguistics have discovered rules that sounds of different languages are related. Look at the words for four: this is one of many examples where the word beggining with Q in Latin is similar to the Greek word beggining with T and the sanskrit word beggining with K. These sound correspondences are related languages and members of the same family.
The question is: how can you tell that the languages you are looking out reflect a single original language and their form and family? The only way that you can do that, is by finding systematic similarities between these languages. In every area of their gramar similarities and their sounds; similarities in their inflections, similarities on syntax of the language. And so far, the similarities have to be very precise and have to be interlooking for the assortion that these languages form a family.
We took an english word like tooth and see the indian dant [ ] not very much; but you take the english ten and the indie das and you see the same [ ] you have the T in English and D in Indie. When you find the word two, the numeral, and the indie do and you have once again the initial T in English and the initial D in Indie, you begin to think that perhaps this is not an accident.
Linguistics have now established that the whole [ ] of languages streching to Island to India form one family called Indo-European they can even make reconstructed an earlier ancestor of these languages.
