What are the Indo-European?

The word Indo-European refers to anybody who speaks an Indo-European language, and more broadly, anything connected to them. The Indo-European languages make up a family of related languages which are thought to be descended from a common ancestral language called Proto-Indo-European. There are about 11 major language families in the Indo-European family and they are: the Anatolian dialects (including Hittite) these are extinct; the Indo-Iranian language family including Sanskrit, Pali, Hindi and other languages of India as well as Avestan, Persian, Farsi and related dialects; Greek; Latin and the Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian); the Celtic languages including Welsh and Gaelic; the Germanic languages including English, German and the Scandinavian languages; Slavic languages including Russian; Baltic languages including Lithuanian and Latvian; Albanian and the Paleo-Balkan dialects (the last being extinct); Armenian; and finally Tokharian which is extinct. Many people believe that Indo-European also applies to a race or genetic group of people but it does not. People of any genetic group can speak any language.
