The Original Indo European Language

The original indo european language didn't use articles at all. There was no a or th. The reason why english dropped the distinctions between masculine and feminine has to do with issues which will address in a future episode. But other Indo-European languages have retained these distinctions. And this is probably the most important point that i want to make in this episode, because i'm introducing a concept that is essential to understanding the original Europese language. It's the concept of inflections. Latin had them, old english had them, and the ancient in europeanlanguage had them. Many modern european languages, like german, still have them, lots of them.
