Why was European civilization the only civilization on earth to invent comparative linguistics? It is interesting to ponder why nobody had made this connection before.

To be able to reach this conclusion you need a minimum level of travel to be able to get knowledge of a lot of languages. Just knowing two or three isn't enough. You probably need at least some knowledge of a dozen or two before you can start seeing links. Preferably you have access to older versions of languages. You can see the links more by comparing Old English to Old German than you can with the modern languages. You also need the ability to distribute information so many people can see copies of it - that means you need printing presses. It probably wasn't until the 18th century that anyone could put the necessary parts together and it was Western Europe that was on top at the time.

Only marginally off topic: while reading this thread I am listening to a violin concerto played by Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg -— whose name I find enchanting. Nadja = Slavic; Salerno = Latin; Sonnenberg = Germanic. Now that’s European.

Muslims aren;t interested inm anything that preceded Mohammad.

Muslims are not interested in anything outside of Islam except from the perspective of learning how to destroy it.

Simple.

I seem to recall something from a language course I took.

Hungarian is not a traceable language.

Is this correct?
