Indo-European_languages LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER Balto-Slavic languages, believed by many Indo-Europeanists to derive from a common proto-language later than Proto-Indo-European, while others are skeptical and think that Baltic and Slavic are no more closely related than any other two branches of Indo-European. Anatolian languages — earliest attested branch, from the 18th century BC; extinct, most notable was the language of the Hittites. Some linguists propose that Indo-European languages are part of a hypothetical Nostratic language superfamily, and attempt to relate Indo-European to other language families, such as South Caucasian languages, Altaic languages, Uralic languages, Dravidian languages, Afro-Asiatic languages. language.school-explorer.com /info/Indo-European_languages   (1740 words)

From their origins in East-Central Europe, the Slavic languages spread widely and are now spoken throughout most of the Balkans and Eastern Europe, parts of Central Europe, and the northern portion of Asia. At the beginning of the Christian Era, Baltic and Slavic tribes occupied a large area of eastern Europe, east of the Germanic tribes and north of the Iranians, including much of present-day Poland and what was formerly the western... www.britannica.com /eb/article-9000553   (790 words)

Proto-Balto-Slavic Proto-Balto-Slavic is a hypothetical language from which the Baltic and Slavic languages emerged. There is also a contemporary hypothesis that proposes the Slavic languages developed from the Baltic languages. The actual existence of such a Proto-Balto-Slavic language is fiercely debated, but the linguists who support it seem to outnumber those who refute it. www.calsky.com /lexikon/en/txt/p/pr/proto_balto_slavic.php   (184 words)

Encyclopedia: Slavic languages Slavic languages descend from a dialect of Proto-Slavic, their parent language, which developed from a language that was also the ancestor of Proto-Baltic, the parent of the Baltic languages. Of these, certain so-called transitional dialects and hybrid dialects often bridge the gaps between different languages, showing similarities that are not apparent when Slavic literary (i.e., standard) languages are compared. There are, however, enough differences existing between the various Slavic dialects and languages to make communication between Slavs of different nationalities difficult, but not impossible. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Slavic-languages   (184 words)

Slavic languages. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001 The spoken Slavic tongues resemble one another more closely than do those of the Germanic and Romance groups; yet, although Slavic languages have much in common in basic vocabulary, grammar, and phonetic characteristics, they differ with regard to such features in many instances. The Slavic verb usually takes one of three simple tenses (past, present, and future), but it is further characterized by a complex feature called aspect, which can be either imperfective (showing continuous or repeated action) or perfective (denoting a completed action). The total number of people for whom a Slavic language is the mother tongue is estimated at more than 300 million; the great majority of them live in Russia and Ukraine. www.bartleby.com /65/sl/Slavicla.html   (184 words)

Slavic languages on Encyclopedia.com Because the Slavic group of languages seems to be closer to the Baltic group than to any other, some scholars combine the two in a Balto-Slavic subfamily of the Indo-European classification. Members of the Slavic subfamily are more conservative and thus closer to Proto-Indo-European than languages in the Germanic and Romance groups, as is witnessed by their preservation of seven of the eight cases for the noun that Proto-Indo-European possessed and by their continuation of aspects for the verb. Grammatically the Slavic languages, with the exception of Bulgarian and Macedonian, have a highly developed inflection of the noun, with up to seven cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, instrumental, and vocative). www.encyclopedia.com /html/S/Slavicla.asp   (1246 words)

AllRefer.com - Baltic languages (Language And Linguistics) - Encyclopedia The Indo-European subfamily to which the Baltic languages appear to be closest is the Slavic. Because of this, some linguists regard Baltic and Slavic as branches of a single Balto-Slavic division of the Indo-European family. The Baltic tongues are thus named because they are spoken in an area bordering on the Baltic Sea. reference.allrefer.com /encyclopedia/B/Balticla.html   (1246 words)

Slavic languages Slavic languages descend from a dialect of Proto-Slavic, their parent language, which developed from a language that was also the ancestor of Proto-Baltic, the parent of the Baltic languages. Some linguists maintain however, that the Slavic group of languages is different from the neighboring Baltic group ( Lithuanian, Latvian, and the now-extinct Old Prussian). There is also a planned language called Slovio that is based on Slavic languages, and intended to be easily understood by people who speak at least one Slavic language. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/slavic_languages   (1246 words)

The Romanian and Hungarian languages witness the influence of the neighboring Slavic nations, especially in the vocabulary pertaining to crafts and trade; the major cultural innovations at times when few long-range cultural contacts took place.

Balto-Slavic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Baltic and Slavic languages were not written down until 15th and 9th centuries A.D.; thus, the historical record tracing the development of the languages is limited. The Balto-Slavic language group is a hypothetical language group consisting of the Baltic and Slavic language subgroups of the Indo-European family. Baltic and Slavic speakers are in close geographical, political and cultural contact, which naturally leads to lexical similarities; that is, each has borrowed words and meanings from the other. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Proto-Balto-Slavic_language   (1246 words)

Slavic languages - One Language According to some historical linguistics theories, Proto-Slavic in turn developed from the Proto-Balto-Slavic language, a common ancestor of Proto-Baltic, the parent of the Baltic languages.

Talk:Indo-European languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Schenker, a professor of Slavic languages at Yale University, ends his brief overview by inconclusively accepting (or almost accepting, he is very cautious) Balto-Slavic basically, though he seems to give leeway for the separatists. Since Baltic and Slavic were at the tail end of the process of the disintegration of the Indo-European speech community, what is termed Balto-Slavic is in fact the very latest stage of one of the Late Proto-Indo-European dialects. If you believe that Slavic separated from Baltic, what you believe in is a Balto-Slavic family. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Indo-European_languages   (1246 words)
