Proto Indo-Europeans with Kevin Stroud of The History of English Podcast

Words for Granted - An etymology and linguistics podcast - A podcast by Ray Belli

Categories:

This episode features a conversation I had with Kevin Stroud of the History of English Podcast at this year's virtual Intelligent Speech conference. We discussed reasons why the history of the Proto Indo-Europeans––the linguistic ancestors of nearly half the world's population––remains obscure to the general public. If you think it has something to do with racist, pseudoscientific scholarship that led to the concept of the Aryan race during World War II, we think so too.
