(4) | None | The Indo-European Languages presents a comprehensive survey of the individual languages and language subgroups within this language family. With over four hundred languages and dialects and almost three billion native speakers, the Indo-European language family is the largest of the recognized language groups and includes most of the major current languages of Europe, the Iranian plateau and the Indian subcontinent.

It will be of interest to researchers and anyone with an interest in historical linguistics, linguistic anthropology and language development.… (more) |
