The most widely spoken Indo - European languages by native speakers are Spanish, English, Hindustani (Hindi - Urdu), Portuguese, Bengali, Punjabi, Russian, each with over 100 million speakers, with German, French, and Persian also having significant numbers . Today, about 46% of the human population speaks an Indo - European language as a first language, by far the highest of any language family . </P> <P> The Indo - European family includes most of the modern languages of Europe; exceptions include Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, and several minor Uralic languages, as well as Turkish (a Turkic language), Basque (a language isolate), and Maltese (a Semitic language). The Indo - European family is also represented in Asia with the exception of East and Southeast Asia . It was also predominant in ancient Anatolia (present - day Turkey), the ancient Tarim Basin (present - day Northwest China) and most of Central Asia until the medieval Turkic and Mongol invasions . With written evidence appearing since the Bronze Age in the form of the Anatolian languages and Mycenaean Greek, the Indo - European family is significant to the field of historical linguistics as possessing the second - longest recorded history, after the Afroasiatic family, although certain language isolates, such as Sumerian, Elamite, Hurrian, Hattian, and Kassite are recorded earlier . </P>
