Language tree

About this app

Spatial family tree of the Indo-European languages, with height showing time from Proto-Indo-European to today. Ten basic words travel from the reconstructed root to about 30 languages; the First and Second Sound Shift and the centum/satem split are marked in colour in the forms. A test separates true cognates from chance look-alikes and loanwords.
