I've been fascinated by Sanskrit because some of the words sound so much like old english/germanic. There need to be more study done on indian languages because there have just soo many of them and every region has their own dialects. It's as if the tower of babel incident happened over there. |

The relationship you are seeing was discovered nearly two centuries ago, and has been thoroughly studied since then [1].
> there have just soo many of them and every region has their own dialects.
If linguistic diversity is the measure you are interested in, Papua New Guinea [2] and Sub Saharan Africa [3] are orders of magnitude more diverse that Europe and South or East Asia.
