I've found this interesting video of a recronstructed speech in proto IE.



Does it sound like anything living language to you?
 
well no matter my pre-cautions, I Think the colour of the speaker sends as to a mixed accent,
a Good question is the syntax is after W Europe or after Sanshqrit
I mean SVO or OVS

Possibly:

words:

'Werunom' - something like latin declination of Werunos ?
'e est' - sounds like latin est ?
'moe' - like slavic for 'mine' ?
'sunum' - declination of a similar word like son ?
'pathe(r?)' obviously father

possible sentences:

"to rekis e est" - "a king (rex) once was" ? - "there once was a king" ???
"kelukhi moe, pathé werunae!" - "hear mine, father werunos!"
"uell mi sunum" - "want me son" ? - I want a son ?

Some could be utter nonsense though.
It was spoken with english pronounciation I guess.
 
The rhythm of this language is just like in English. And think I know why :)
