INDO-EUROPEANS - Indo-European language roots Verified listing

The majority of Europeans speak Indo-European languages, so called because they descend from a single proto-historical and prehistoric mother tongue, whose dialects spread across Europe and part of central Asia. The Indo-Europeans of Europe today (considering only the representatives of linguistic groups still alive) are the descendants of the Celts, who settled in Antiquity north of the Alps and near the Atlantic, then along the Danube, before retreating toward the oceanic promontories; of the Italic peoples in the great peninsula, among them the Latins; of the Germans, who radiated out from their first homeland toward the Alps and Scandinavia; of the Balts, from the Vistula, then the Neman, to the Daugava; of the Slavs between the Carpathians and the Pripyat, who moved southwest into the Balkans; of their Albanian neighbors; and of the Hellenes.

A common Indo-European emblem would unite the symbols of the three cosmic and social functions that were characteristic of them as concepts (modeled on the engravings of Val Camonica): the sun, the double axe (lightning), and the plow (production).
