Is the joke to post literal nonsense?
Or did you want good responses but started with a joke?
Or was the real hope that people would get mad over the OP and the thread would really be about that?
What even is it?

Archaic languages have no logic in the naming convention. There is no actual standard for calling something a "proto" language. Sanskrit and Iranian are related to European classification, good enough. Also, languages don't care so much about ethnic boundaries as you seem to imply. They do often follow political trends, or at least influential trends.
The people that first domesticated horses didn't systematically slaughter everyone else in mainland Europe, but the rest of mainland Europe (excluding enclaves like the Basque) did adopt the horse-people's language.
It makes sense to me, the Conquistadors showed to up to the Americas with fucking guns and not many people bothered to keep speaking native languages after that.

I'm pretty versed in Wheel of Time lore if anyone wants to discuss it or has questions

Almost all current, popular songs have the word "Tonight" in it. The word is completely unneeded, but I've noticed it in a bunch of songs and it pisses me of. That one song, "Soul Sister" I think it's called just has the word tonight used in it over and over and it contributes nothing to the lyrics at all.

/lit/ I ask for your help

In my youth I read a book relating to the Frog Prince myth. Though the entire thing was a story of his life in the swamp before being kissed. He had a mate and had eggs and shit. The kiss was more of a clumsy "oh I'll just kiss this frog and see what happens" turning him. Which subsequently left him unable to return to his wife and kids ever again.

Everything I seem to Google just brings up the movie.
