2‚Jerkeshea Evette Morris‚jerkesheam@hotmail.com‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200812‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo-European is the general term for  the languages of the people who live in and around Europe. In relationship to English, many of the root words are related and the to "be" forms are almost exactly the same. Some of the languages are Latin, Greek, and German. 
3‚Carol Kind‚clm3699@aol.com‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200812‚1‚1‚I believe that the term "Proto-Indo-Europoean" refers to the single, prehistoric language in which all European languages are descended from (of course, this is in theory only).  The individuals who spoke this prehistoric language were primarily those from the regions located from Iceland to Ireland (in the west), to India (in the east), and from Scandinavia (in the north), to Italy and Greece (in the south).  Other Indo-European languages include Greek, Armanian, Slavic, Baltic, Albanian, Cletic, Italic, and Germanic.

5‚Michelle Keller‚fjrm333333@aol.com‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200815‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo-European is a family of languages of which English is one member. Proto-Indo-European language descended from the Proto-Indo-European language. Proto-Indo-European was spoken in an unidentified area between eastern Europe and the Aral Sea around the fifth mileennium B.C. I am guessing, but I think some other Indo-European languages are Germanic, Latin, West Germanic, and Hittite. The relationship to English, from what I understood in my reading was that this is where our English derived from. Our root words come from the Indo-European language. 
6‚Marisa Suggs‚‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200815‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo-European was the earliest known systematic language spoken in the world.  Many present languages are derived from this primary system of communication, including English.  Other derived languages are found mainly in Europe, such as German and Polish.  Almost all the languages in the world have some type of connection to Proto-Indo-European.
7‚Jennifer Pittman‚pittmanje@papa.uncp.edu‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200815‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo European is the term for the pre-historic language from which all languages have derived from. Proto-Indo-European is the name for the principal languages spoken now or formerly in Iceland and Ireland in the east and India in the west and Scandanavia in the north to Greece and Italy in the south. It's relationship to English is that words that we currently use, based on their evolution due to society and clutural changes, still have Proto-Indo-European roots. English is one of the many direct descendants of Proto-Indo-European. Branches of Proto-Indo-European dialects and branches that are still represented today are Indo-Iranian, Greek, Armenian, Slavic, Baltic, Albanian, Celtic, Italic, and Germanic.
8‚Paula Caudle‚123caudle@carolina.net‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200816‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo-European refers to a grouping of common original languages that present day languages have evolved from. It was spoken primarily in Europe, but extended into Iran & Afganistan. Its relationship to English is that our present day language can be traced from prehistoric Common Germanic->West Germanic->Old English->to present day English. 
9‚Heather Guyton‚heatherg@intrstar.net‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200816‚1‚1‚The Proto-Indo-European language was spoken in the 1500's and has developed or transformed into several of the languages we know today. Some of those languages are Old English, which our English orginated from, Salvic, and some traces of it have been found in Hitti. The main relationship between the Proto-Indo-European language and our English is that some of words have the basis from this language. The main origins of  our words come from Latin but even some Latin terms were formed from the Proto-Indo-European language. Therefore increasing the simularities between the two languages roots.
10‚Lindsay Walker‚Plumnellies@yahoo‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200817‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo-European can be described as one of the thousand ancient languages discovered in the early part of the 19th century.  It was spoken in the regions from Iceland to Ireland in the west, to India in the East, from Scandinavia to the north to Italy and to the south of Greece.  Many of the English language has it's roots from this language. Some of the other Indo-European Languages are German, Latin, and Greek.

12‚Rebecca Price‚‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200818‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo-European is one of the first languages that lead to the creation of several other languages.  The Europeans and people near that same area spoke this language.  When comparing Proto-Indo-European to English, one can clearly see the resemblences.  For example in my reading I remember seeing English terms such as sister and brother that clearly was derived from Proto-Indo-European language.  Other Indo-European languages I remeber reading are Sylavic, Iranian, West Germanic and the book named several others.
13‚Andrea J. Wright‚AndreaWright28@hotmail.com‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200818‚1‚1‚    The Proto-Indo-European is the reconstructed language that was the ancestors of the Indo-European languages.  This was spoken by the Indo-Europeans located in an unidentified area between eastern Europe and the Aral sea around 5000 B.C.  Proto-Indo-European led to Germanic, which led to West Germanic, which led to Old English, then middle English and finally the English language of today.  Some other Indo-European languages include Indic, Iranian, Greek, Armemian,Slavic, Baltic, Albanian, Celtic, Italic, and Germanic.

 This language evolved from Ireland, Iceland, and Scandinavia.  The English language evolved from the Indo-European language.  Some ancestors of the Indo-European language is Greek, Armenian, Slavic, Baltic and Celtic.  More than half of the English root words was taken from Indo-European.
16‚Kelly Fox‚kf2@foto.infi.net‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200819‚1‚1‚Indo-European is a name given to a specific geographic region which is the site for a large and well-defined linguistic family.  Thus, this family of languages is referred to as "Indo-European."  Proto Indo-European simply means the EARLY Indo-European languages.  Peoples from India, Iran, the Baltic, Albania, Armenia, Italy and Greece all spoke a dialect belonging to this family of languages.  In addition, the Hittites, Tocharians, Slavs and Celts also belong to this group.  This family of languages is important to English because it is believed that English in its modern, present form ultimately derived from Proto Indo-European languages.  As scholars and historians compared certain languages, they found uncanny similarities which were too numerous to be considered coincidence or adapted between each other over time.
17‚Shirley Johnson‚birddogs@foto.infi.net‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200819‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo-European is the common ancestor language of other Indo-European languages.  The language has been traced back to be that spoken by the earliest Europeans.  English is related because it is a direct decendant of Indo-European.  The line of decent came from prehistoric Common Germanic which subdivided into West Germanic which developed into Old English, and thus, English.  Other Indo-European languages are those such as Greek, Slavic, Indo-Iranian, Italic, Germanic, Albanian, Armenian, Baltic, and Celtic.

19‚Jared West‚‚Re: Quiz 1: Proto-Indo-European‚199908200819‚1‚1‚Proto-Indo-European is the prehistoric language that has been used for a very long time.  It is the basis for the modern languages of today.  Because of the Proto-Indo-European other dialects and languages have formed.  In relation to English, it has helped to develop and provide structure for the language.  The culture of Proto-Indo-European is present in the English language of today.  There are other languages that have been influenced by the Indo-European.  This includes English and German.
