In this episode, we'll trace English back to its oldest known ancestor: an ancestor it shares with almost all of Europe's languages, as well as some Asian languages. That ancestor is called Proto-Indo-European.
I also talk about the controversial Nostratic language family and ask whether there could really be a "Proto-Earth" language.
