(I agree for the meaning "tongue [in the mouth]). If we look at Sanskrit bhasha, at Greek phonê and even at Archaïc Latin "fari" (to speek), it's more probable than the Indo-Europeans would have used something based on the root *Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240097.post-621917014771923362009-04-22T14:35:00.000+09:002009-04-22T14:35:00.000+09:00But we ought to add in the article that Indo-Europ...But we ought to add in the article that Indo-European is neither Latin nor Hebrew, whose contents are fully attested and have remained used at least by some taught people.

Primarily because I like you said in the article, the history and culture behind it has an innate appeal to me. I always feel uncomfortable reading about modern day contrusted languages because they mostly seem to be based on a single modern language family, thus giving those native speakers an advantage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240097.post-58282641545815196032009-04-22T01:18:00.000+09:002009-04-22T01:18:00.000+09:00Sellamat Dave!

You already know my answer, it's a language that fulfills both prongs of the alternative you set in conclusion: <br />- a language that takes most reconstructed forms of PIE<br />- a language that uses a grammar inspired by PIE, but nearly as regular as the one of the aforementioned IALs<br />- furthermore, a language that integrates a Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
