Research into the comparative tendency of all languages began in Calcutta, a British law court in India. This led to the observation of a relationship among Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin*.
William Jones noted the strong affinity between Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin, comparing their similarities in inflection*.
An example table illustrates these similarities:
English: house, mouse, I am
Greek: domus, mus, eimi
