Proto I-E is too far back to be useful for studying modern languages if you are looking for the most efficient use of your time. Why proto IE? Do you want to study Hittite? If you want to study modern related languages, Indo-European should be sufficient, although it is still very far back. For studying most modern languages, I recommend studying the language families themselves, such as Germanic and Romance. |

Proto-Indo-European?
Can someone make an ancestry
of G*d (YVYH) while using the
Proto-Indo-European language
for the word 'pater' meaning
father? Lets say a YVYH
existed and did have ancestors
like in Sumerian Mythology
(Sumerian Mythology was
written in 2125 BC) and had a
lineage. What would that
lineage be?

Yes, there's a large amount of Indo European DNA as far West as northern India, to match the spread of the Indo European language. You get the odd blond Indian and Pakistani as result. Mostly you're looking at expansion from places like Iran and the countries South/West of the Black sea. Theseare the most likely point of origin for Indo Europeans. It shows up in the DNA of North Indians and Pakistanis quite a bit. The spread of Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup R1a1 particularly has been associated with the spread of the Indo-European languages. http://64.233.183.104/search?q =cache:Ouuthtm95vIJ:en.wikiped ia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-Europea ns+indo+european+y+dna+india&h l=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=uk http://www.genomenewsnetwork.o rg/articles/05_01/Indo-Europea n.shtml Northern Europeans only speak an Indo European language though, courtesy of the Romans. We are genetically Celtic, more like the old Cro magnon people. The Indo Europeans spread into Europe really only affected the southern countries as far as population goes. Places like Italy and Greece, as can be shown by the Y chromosome haplotypes. Below, is correct, but Celtic isn't as closely related as the Latin derived language we speak now. It was 'the first wave', Latin is later. http://www.danshort.com/ie/ The Hittites in ancient Turkey spoke an Indo European language. Indo European probably spread westwards from Anatolia with the spread of farming. |
