Podcast: The Root of Language
This month we discuss Proto-Indo-European, the ancestor of almost every language now spoken from the Hebrides to the Himalayas.
We speak to Harry Ritchie, author of Spreading the Word in our August 2014 issue, about Proto-Indo-European, the ancestor of almost every language now spoken from the Hebrides to the Himalayas. Also, an interview with Roger Taylor, curator of an exhibition at the V&A on early photography in Burma and India.
