    It’s amazing to hear, say, Hindi and German and realize they come from the same roots.

      What is mental is that there are other languages in the Indian subcontinent that are not part of that language family at all!

        True about Europe as well. Finnish, for example.

          Right, Finnish and Hungarian owe their roots to the mongol invasion if memory serves. But in India both language groups emerged separately in the north and south.

            Then there’s Basque, which seems to be a totally isolated language.
