Hello,
 
I am a highschool student and I am currently working on a project designed to research the origin of the indo-european lanuage family.  This forum intrigues me, but it is a bit over my head.  I thought if I had some specific inquiries and anyone had a bit of time, one might be willing to aid me in developing an argument as to how the language family spread.  Currently my two choices are that the language was spread and changed by (a) migrating Kurgan horsemen or (b) the diffusion of farming.  I am trying to gather as much information on each argument as possible and am therefore trying to get as many educated inputs as possible.  If anyone has any suggestions for me, they would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks so much for the time that has already been put into reading this message!
 
Thanks Again.
