Indo-European Languages

Indo-European languages are the world's largest family of languages.

Linguists believe they all came from a single language called Proto-Indo-European. This language was originally spoken somewhere in Eurasia. Today they are spoken all over the world.

The Indo-European languages are a family of several hundred related languages and dialects,including most major languages of Europe, the Iranian plateau, and South Asia.

Historically, this language family was also important in Anatolia and Central Asia.

The earliest Indo-European writing comes from the Bronze Age in the Anatolian and Mycenaean Greek languages. We can place the origin of Indo-European languages after the invention of farming, because some of the Proto-Indo-European words are farming words.


The languages of the Indo-European group have about three billion native speakers. Although it may not have as many different languages as some other language families, it has more native speakers than any other.

Of the 20 languages with the most speakers, 12 are Indo-European: English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, German, Sindhi, Punjabi, Marathi, French, and Urdu. They account for over 2.7 billion native speakers.

Four of the six official languages of the United Nations are Indo-European: English, Spanish, French, and Russian.

  8. Indo-European languages are truly fascinating and hold a significant place in the history and diversity of human communication. The Indo-European language family is one of the largest language families in the world, encompassing a wide range of languages spoken across various continents.

    What makes Indo-European languages intriguing is their interconnectedness and shared linguistic features. Despite the vast geographical and cultural differences among the regions where these languages are spoken, they exhibit similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics, suggesting a common ancestral origin.
