A centum language is a group of languages within the Indo-European family that maintain certain sounds from their ancient roots. In these languages, some of the original sounds, particularly those made at the back of the mouth, remain the same. This means that words in centum languages often sound different from their counterparts in other Indo-European languages that have changed these sounds. For example, Latin and Germanic languages like English are considered centum languages. Understanding centum languages helps researchers see how languages evolve and are related to one another.
