Following are some of the websites we have verified and found to be useful for the purpose of further studies on the subject of the origin of Sanskrit and its early connection with other Indo European Languages.

• Proto Indo European Languages. Demonstration and Exploration website. :Here's something similar about all these numbers-but what could explain the resemblance, in such geographically distant languages? Is it just coincidence? Something in our genes? Something we got from aliens? Or is it possible that all these languages came from the same source?

• Numerals and Numbers' History and Curiosity: The European number nouns (most of them) take their origin from the Indo-European language. Although various numeration systems existed (duodecimal, vigesimal and sexagesimal numerations), the decimal system survived all of them.

• LAWSO 160 Keywords: Sanskrit (20): Sanskrit is a sacred, classical, noble language of India.  It is the oldest stage of the Indo-Aryan language family.  The grammar of this language is similar to Latin and Greek languages.  Sanskrit has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.  It also has three numbers: singular, dual, and plural, and eight cases: nominative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive, locative, and vocative.  This is the definition of Sanskrit ...

• Re: Grimm's Law: Several main processes occurred to separate the Germanic language family from the rest of the Indo-European languages.

• Indo-European Languages. Copyright © 1999 by Gareth Jones Written 2 November 1998. Last updated 14 September 1999. There are two ways to study the way that language has changed over time. The first is to start at the beginning of language and trace changes forward through time. The other is to start with language as we know it now and trace its changes backward as far as we can go. Let's try both...

• Origin of Indo European Languages: The late Glacial record of vegetation and climate suggests that major changes in hunter-gatherer population density might have occurred across Europe and Asia as a result of extreme climate fluctuations. We hypothesise that a reduction in population density across most of the region during the coldest part of the Younger Dryas (around 12,800-11,400 cal. y.a.) may have been followed by a sudden rebound phase, when climate switched back to warm, moist Holocene conditions over only a few decades.
