Have read all the posts under this thread - all very interesting so thanks. PIE is a new abbreviation to me so will keep it in mind. I realise this discussion has probably be had before somewhere on the forum but language, particularly ancient ones, is enduringly fascinating - and that's just looking at PIE. I wonder there are African, Far Eastern and Aboriginal languages that are even more ancient (just thinking aloud - will do more 'research').
