The Case For the World’s First Language

Most linguists’ reception of the Proto-World work has been less skeptical than hostile, and as often in such cases, there is more truth to the theory than many admit. For example, there is increasing evidence that many of the world’s families do trace to “mega-ancestors,” even if evidence for a Proto-World remains lacking. The Proto-World school’s reconstruction of features of the Native American proto-language are promising, and one of these linguists has recently discovered a likely valid link between languages whose speakers have had no contact for 50,000 years.
