From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The Indo-European languages are a family (or phylum) of several hundred related languages and dialects, including most major languages of Europe, Iran, and India, and historically also predominant in Anatolia and Central Asia. Attested since the Bronze Age, in the form of Mycenaean Greek and Anatolian languages, the Indo-European family is significant to the field of historical linguistics as possessing the longest recorded history after the Afroasiatic family. The languages of the Indo-European group are spoken by approximately three billion native speakers, the largest number of the recognised families of languages. (Several disputed proposals merge Indo-European with other major language families.) From Wikipedia under the

Asked by tet - Mon Aug 4 17:28:38 2008 - - 2 Answers - 2 Comments A. I think that you are referring to the Aryans, who were Indo-European invaders who conquered India about 1,500 B.C. They were nomads who entered India from the northwest. They came from Central Asia, most likely from what is now Iran or Afghanistan. They were either white or at least fair skinned. They were war-like and overran the Dravidian civilization that existed in India. They brought with them their own culture and language (Sanskrit). Modern Hindi is derived from it. They established the Caste system in India with themselves as Brahmins, the highest caste. The Dravidians made up the lower castes.

Q. Aren't the Finns Nordic Scandinavians? Thus Germanic? Thus Indo-European?

Asked by Sean - Sun Nov 1 02:48:18 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Finns, Estonians and Hungarians belong to a different linguistic family than most European nationalities. Rather than speaking "Indo-European" (or "Aryan") languages they speak languages called "Finno-Ugrian" instead. The Basques in northern Spain / southwestern France are the only other group of Europeans whose language does not belong to the Indo-European family. There is a close linguistic relationship between Finnish, Estonian and Livonian (spoken in western Latvia) but their relationship to Lappic (or Saami) spoken in Norway and Hungarian is more distant. Many other Finno-Ugrian languages are spoken by only small groups of people in Northern Russia and the Ukraine.
