Will someone please let you know of an old indoeuropean book to read?
There are no books in Indo-European. At best, short passages from well-known texts have been translated into a possible Indo-European version. Nobody really knows what it was like, the experts just try to reconstruct it by looking at groups of words that seem to be common among the so-called Indo-European languages, which (in case you didn't know) include all the European and Slavonic languages except Basque, Hungarian and Finnish; several Indian languages including Hindi and Urdu; and Persian. There are more but I would need to get my books to check them. Maybe one day the experts will be confident enough to write a book in 'Indo-European' but it would still be mostly guess-work. Hope this helps. Since there are no books for this language, what makes it a language? Books are the only proof of the existence of a language. If some people spoke or speak some type of a language without writing books, their language is bound to be forgotten. This language has a very short life. and there were and there are many languages like this in this world. The term INDOEUROPEAN is a new invention of those who have an ANTIGREEK mind. From HOMER to some years ago, this term in nonexistant. I am refering to thousands of books in thousands of years. A language is not a box that has a bunch of words in it. A language is not the words in a dictionary. A language with its grammar is a machine that produces the right words to expess ones thoughts. A language with its grammar is a machine that produces the elements of logos. A language without a grammar can not be considered a language. The Greek language is still alive for thousands of years with all its accents. MODERN GREEK,LATIN, FRENCH, ENGLISH,GERMAN,ITALIAN ECT. ECT. Its grammar produces new words and no indoeuropean will stop it to exist. The greek language is the language for humanity. words, no matter how good they are, they are born and they die depanding on how well they are synthesied.
