The Proto-Indo-Europeans, sometimes simply called Indo-Europeans, were a prehistoric people or group of people who are thought to have spoken a language (or group of similar languages) which linguists have reconstructed as 'Proto-Indo-European', representing the ancestor of many modern European languages. They probably lived around 6-7,000 years ago.
