• 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
  • Sanskrit: damas, mus, asmi
  • Latin: domus, mus, sum
• The discovery of these relationships among languages paved the way for the science of Comparative Linguistics, also known as Philology.
