📖 **“Proto: How One Ancient Language Went Global” by Laura Spinney**

Peter Gordon

“_The “Proto” in the title Laura Spinney’s new book is a reference to “Proto-Indo-European” (PIE), the language from which modern tongues as diverse as Hindi, Greek, English, Russian and Armenian derive; this was perhaps deemed not quite fascinating enough, so the book was given a subtitle presumably more in tune with the contemporary zeitgeist._”
