WHAT DOES URSPRACHE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Proto-language

A proto-language in the tree model of historical linguistics is a language – usually hypothetical or reconstructed, and unattested – from which a number of attested, or documented, known languages are believed to have descended by evolution, or slow modification of the proto-language into languages that form a language family. In the strict sense, a proto-language is the latest common ancestor of a language family and thus corresponds to the most recent common ancestor in biology, although the term is often used more loosely. Moreover, a group of idioms which are not considered separate languages can also be described as descending from a unitary proto-language. Occasionally, the German term Ursprache is used instead.

Definition of Ursprache in the English dictionary

The definition of Ursprache in the dictionary is any hypothetical extinct and unrecorded language reconstructed from groups of related recorded languages. For example, Germanic is an Ursprache reconstructed by comparison of English, Dutch, German, the Scandinavian languages, and Gothic; Indo-European is an Ursprache reconstructed by comparison of the Germanic group, Latin, Sanskrit, etc.
