What is "comparative linguistics"?
Comparative linguistics is the study of the similarities and differences between languages in order to understand their historical relationships. It examines how languages have evolved and how they may share a common origin. Researchers in this field analyze phonetic, grammatical, and lexical features across different languages, identifying patterns and establishing language families. Comparative linguistics helps to reconstruct ancient languages and provides insights into how languages develop and influence one another over time.
