Indo-European languages

Map of the spread of Indo-European languages

Indo-European languages seem to have begun in the area between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, in what is now Armenia and Georgia. It is not clear yet whether the languages spread to neighboring countries or the people who spoke those langages travelled to neighboring countries and took their language with them. But certainly languages related to Indo-European ones were spoken in many different places by about 1000 BC.
