The invited speaker at the August 9, 2022 meeting of the Old Guard of Summit NJ was Dr. Joseph Pentangelo, linguist, folklorist, and adjunct assistant professor at CUNY. He is an alumnus of Macaulay Honors College and earned a Ph.D. in Linguistics and a graduate certificate in Medieval Studies from the Graduate Center, CUNY.
Dr. Pentangelo discussed how the Indo-European language family was discovered, what linguistic groups are part of it, and what we know of the Indo-Europeans themselves, the theorized ancestors of many of the peoples of Eurasia today.
