Please note: corrections and improvements have been made to the content of the grammar by the publication of the latest versions of:
- A Tentative Syntax of Modern Indo-European (MAR 2013): it complements, improves and corrects the Syntax section, as well as some aspects of the sections on Morphology.
- Flexie: A Conjugator of Modern Indo-European verbs (JUL 2016): it complements and improves the verbal inflection system
- Late Proto-Indo-European Etymological Lexicon (MAY 2017): it corrects and improves the appendix on Late Proto-Indo-European lexicon.

A Grammar of Modern Indo-European is a complete reference guide to a living Indo-European language. It contains a comprehensive description of Proto-Indo-European grammar, and offers an analysis of the complexities of the prehistoric language and its reconstruction from its descendant languages. Written in a fresh and accessible style, and illustrated with maps, figures and tables, this book focusses on the real patterns of use of Late Indo-European. The book is well organised and is filled with full, clear explanations
of areas of confusion and difficulty. It also contains an extensive English – Indo-European, Indo-European – English vocabulary, as well as detailed etymological notes, designed to provide readers with an easy access to the information they require.
An essential reference source for the student of Indo-European as a learned and living language, this work will appeal to students of languages, classics, and the ancient world, as well as to general readers interested in the history of language, and in speaking the direct ancestor of the world’s largest language family.
