Written by We open this new site dedicated to the Proto-Indo-European language and its derived dialects – whether dead or alive – with a simple series of highly hypothetical historical ethno-linguistic maps, showing the supposed Indo-European language development in Eurasia since Pre-Proto-Indo-European, some 7.000 years ago.
We plan to dedicate this new site to different resources and articles on general (Pre-, Late, Middle and Early) Proto-Indo-European, as well as for its derived dialects. We believe that specially maps can be a great source for understanding linguistic evolution through history, even when their details remain controversial.

We hope to post some more written information on the images in the next days, instead of just these first maps.
