United States National Academy of Sciences finds almost all human languages trace back to single root language
ALMOST all human languages trace back to a single root language, the United States' National Academy of Sciences (NAS) found after an exhaustive study, with one science blog claiming that the original pattern of human speech was much like that of the iconic Star Wars character Yoda.

Miss them do not ... The shadow of greed, that is" and "Named must your fear be before banish it you can."
