Usage notes

 * The anthropological senses are an extension of the definition in linguistics.
 * In older sources, often little distinction was made between the earliest Indo-Europeans (i.e. Proto-Indo-Europeans) and their descendants, as the Indo-European expansions were commonly regarded as part of a continuous whole “invasion” or similar replacement event, during which Indo-European–speaking peoples remained ethnocuoturally similar long after their dispersal, a view that is now outdated. Also, the prefix only gradually became standard throughout the 20th century, leaving “Indo-European” as a somewhat dated relic from a time before the prefix. In modern academic settings, the use of Indo-European as a countable noun is less common and discouraged for these reasons.
