Let's start at the beginning, where our story begins with the ancient Sumerians, who used a word for "word" that roughly translates to "to utterance" or "expression." From there, we travel through the ages, tracing the etymology of words that have shaped our language, including the Proto-Indo-European roots of many modern English words. Explore the Proto-Indo-European roots that have given rise to so many of our words, including those for "father," "mother," and "water."
The Latin influence on the English language is a long and storied one, from Caesar's conquests to the Renaissance, and beyond.
And then there's the Germanic ties that bind our language to the cultures of Northern Europe, including the Vikings and the Normans.
But what about the modern twists on language, including the impact of technology and the internet on the way we communicate?
