Specialty Definition: Indo-European languages

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Indo-European languages include 150 languages spoken by about 3 billion people, including most of the major language families of Europe and western Asia, which belong to a single superfamily.
The hypothesis that this was so was first proposed by Sir William Jones, who noticed similarities between four of the oldest languages known in his time, Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit and Persian. Systematic comparison of these and other old languages conducted by Franz Bopp supported this theory. In the 19th century, scholars used to call the group "Indo-Germanic languages". However when it became apparent that the connection is relevant to most of Europe's languages, the name was expanded to Indo-European. An example of this was the strong similarity discovered between Sanskrit and olden spoken dialects of Lithuanian.
The common ancestral (reconstructed) language is called Proto-Indo-European (PIE). There is disagreement as to the geographic location where it originated from, with Armenia and the area to the north or west of the Black Sea being prime examples of proposed candidates.
The various subgroups of the Indo-European family include:

Indo-Iranian languages
Italic languages (including Latin and its descendants, the Romance languages)
Germanic languages
Celtic languages
Baltic languages
Slavic languages
Illyrian languages (extinct)
Albanian language (and extinct cousins)
Anatolian languages (extinct, most notable was the language of the Hittites)
Tocharian languages (extinct tongues of Tocharians)
Greek language
Armenian language

(cf. Satem and Centum languages)
Most spoken European-languages belong to the Indo-European superfamily. There are, however, language families which do not. The Finno-Ugric language family, which includes Hungarian, Estonian, Finnish and the languages of the Saami, is an example. The Caucasian language family is another. The Basque language is unusual in that it does not appear to be related to any known languages..
The Maltese language and Turkish are two examples of languages spoken in Europe which have definite non-European origins. Turkish being Turkic, and Maltese being largely derived from Arabic
It has been proposed that Indo-European languages are part of the hypothetical Nostratic language superfamily; this theory is controversial.

Proto Indo-European
The original homeland of the speakers of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is not known for certain, but probably lies somewhere around the Black Sea. Most of the subgroups diverged and spread out over much of Europe and the Middle East during the fourth andand third millennia BC. Discussion of PIE culture has been stalled by its association with the racist doctrines of National socialism (German and German-influenced scholars of the 19th and early 20th centuriess ominously preferred the terms "Indo-Germanic", or "Aryan"), but enormous amounts of work have been done on its structure and vocabulary. All Indo-European languages are inflected languages, and by reconstruction scholars were able to see that PIE was probably mildly inflected (less than Latin but more than modern English). In speech, it is conjectured to have used the following phonemes:

Proto-Indo-European sound system
CONSONANTS labials coronals palatovelars velars labiovelars

voiceless stops p t k^{^} k k^w

voiced stops b d g^{^} g g^w

breathy stops b^h d^h g^{^h} g^h g^wh

nasals m n

fricatives s h₁, h₂, h₃

liquids, glides w r, l j

Short vowels a, e, o, i, u
Long vowels a:, e:, o:
Diphthongs ei, eu, e:i, e:u, oi, ou, ...

Notes:
The symbol ^{^} indicates [k]- or [g]-like sounds which underwent a characteristic change in the Satem languages; they were possibly palatalised velars ("ky, gy") in Proto-Indo-European.
Raised ^w stands for labialization, or lip-rounding accompanying the articulation of velar sounds ([k^w] is a sound similar to English qu in queen).
Raised ^h stands for aspiration.
The symbols h₁, h₂ and h₃ stand for three hypothetical "laryngeal" phonemes.
A colon (:) is employed to indicate vowel length.

As PIE is not directly attested, all PIE sounds and words are reconstructed (using comparative method). The standard convention is to mark reconstructed (and therefore more or less hypothetical) forms with an asterisk, e.g. *wodr 'water', *k^{^}wo:n 'dog', *trejes 'three (masculine)', etc. Many of the words in the modern Indo-European languages are derived from such "protowords" via regular sound change (e.g., Grimm's law).
Recent theories have been proposed by the linguist John Colarusso that the Caucasian languages, particularly the Northwest Caucasian family, spoken in Georgia and Turkey, may be the closest relatives to the Indo-European stock. While these are not widely held theories, substantial evidence investigated by this linguist seems to support their theory. In particular, the one-vowel hypothesis which has been put forward for Indo-European would be borne out by the usage of substantial secondary articulation like that found in the Northwest Caucasian languages and, indeed, in the hypothesised PIE. Also, the Northwest Caucasian languages preserve a large number of guttural phonemes which may be the modern equivalents of PIE "laryngeals".

Pie

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In cooking, a pie is a baked dish with a pastry shell that covers or completely contains a filling of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, cheeses, creams, chocolate, custards or any other sweet or savoury ingredient you can think to put inside. Pies can be either 'one-crust', where the filling is placed in a dish and covered with a pastry top before baking, or 'two-crust', with the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Some pies have only a bottom crust, generally if they have a sweet filling that does not require cooking. These bottom-crust-only pies may be known as tarts or tartlets. One example of a savoury bottom-crust-only pie is a quiche.
Blind-baking is used to develop a crust's crispiness, and help it from getting soggy under the burden of a very liquidy filling. If the crust of the pie requires much more cooking than the chosen filling, it may also be blind-baked before the filling is added and then only briefly cooked or refrigerated.
Pie fillings range in size from tiny bitesize party pies or small tartlets, to single-serve pies (e.g. cornish pasty) and larger pies baked in a dish and eaten by the slice. The type of pasty used is matched to the filling, but it is generally either a butter-rich flaky or puff pastry, or a sturdy shortcrust pastry.
Small pies are a popular form of takeaway food in Australia, with the most ubiquitous brand being Four'n'twenty. Many bakeries and specialty stores sell gourmet pies for the most discriminating customer. A peculiarity of Adelaide cuisine is the Pie floater.
Like dumplings, many cultures have independently discovered pies as a useful and delicious way to utilize otherwise useless ingredients left over in the household.
Savoury pie recipes include:
Beef pot pie
Cornish pasty
Chicken pot pie
Stargazy pie
Steak and kidney pie
Shepherd's pie
Turkey pot pie

Sweet pies include:
Apple pie
Banana cream pie
Blackberry pie
Blueberry pie
Cherry pie
Chocolate cream pie
Coconut cream pie
Dutch apple pie
Key lime pie
Lemon meringue pie
Mixed berry pie
Peach pie
Pecan pie
Pickle pie
Pumpkin pie
Sour cream raisin pie
Strawberry-rhubarb pie

All-purpose pie crust

In Vodun, Pie is a soldier-loa who lived at the bottoms of lakes and rivers and caused floods.

Not to be confused with the number Pi, the pie menu, or Proto-Indo-European (PIE)

tarte tatin occasionally is miscategorized as a form of pie. It is actually a sweet upside-down cake.

Pumpkin pie

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Pumpkin pie is a traditional American dessert, usually made in the late autumn and early winter, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Recipe
This recipe replaces much of the sugar normally found in a pumpkin pie recipe with maple syrup. Use only real 100 percent maple syrup, not maple flavored pancake syrup, as their sugar content is different.

Ingredients

2 cups milk, scalded
2 cups pumpkin, cooked and strained
1 cup Maple Syrup
1/8 cup sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs, beaten
1 unbaked nine inch pie shell
Procedure
Blend above ingredients, except the pie shell, together. Pour into the unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350° F (175 °C) for 45 minutes. Let cool and serve.
Decoration
Pumpkin pie has no top crust, which makes most forms of decoration impossible, but for a sexier pie, put dollops of real whipped cream on each slice, or add a decorative rim to the side crust with artfully layered dough cut-outs, in the shape of fall leaves, squash or pumpkins.
