View source for Proto-Human language

The '''Proto-Human language''' (also '''Proto-Sapiens''', '''Proto-World''', '''Ancestral language''') is the speculative most recent common ancestor of all the world's languages.

== Description ==

The concept of "Proto-Human" presupposes [[monogenesis]] of all natural languages apart from [[Pidgin|pidgins]], [[Creole|creoles]], and [[Sign language|sign languages]].

It does not presuppose a common ancestor of these languages with all extinct lineages, whether human or possible [[Neanderthal language|Neanderthal languages]].
