I hold to the Kurgan or Central Asian uhrmheit for Indo-Europeans. The greatest variety in IE was in that region before the TurkiC invasions starting in the 7th century.

And Lithuanian is so close to Sanskrit it’s nearly mutually comprehensible.

English is a fairly modern, bastard language - a mix of Germanic words and French grammar (French itself being a mix of Latin and Germanic).

I spent time learning some basic Hindi and junked it when I came to the conclusion it was almost as bastardised as English - being a mix of Prakrit and Arabized Persian.

But I started learning Sanskrit (would’ve continued on that if I didn’t have to put so much effort for Polski) - now THAT is a fantastically logical tongue
