Hi.
I'm rather interested in Indo-European languages and Old European languages (Basque; Finnish; Etruscan; etc).
So, i've been wondering, what if the Proto-Indo-European language was never brought into the European and Indian (sub) continents?
Would it leave Europe inhabited by Iberian, Tyrrhenian, Finnic and other peoples, or would Europe be vulnerable to foreign invaders, just like it was against the Indo-Europeans in OTL?
And would these indigenous peoples advance in technology the same way as the Indo-European peoples of OTL did?
