Many scholars have been trying to explain their existence throughout past centuries. This has been causing them many problems since the evidence is rare. In the first part of diploma paper Indo–European languages spoken by various nations in Europe and in Asia are described. Then, as many other scholars, the diploma paper tries to find the homeland of Indo-Europeans and paths of their expansion. Later on Indo–European religion and culture are discussed. Indo–European languages influenced one–another and since English is one of many Indo–European languages, words of common origins from the Indo–European languages were looked for.
