upadeśa-sāraḥ :12,

hints at the evolution of all languages in general, even of 
संस्कृत / saṃskṛta.
The purport of the above श्लोक / śloka 12 of the text upadeśa-sāraḥ :12, gives us a clue how (वायु) प्राण / (vāyu) prāṇa /  चित्त / citta 
/  cetanā are but branches of the same Cosmic Power that takes different forms according to the different individuals at different places. And as the two (वायु) प्राण / (vāyu) prāṇa /  चित्त / citta 
/  cetanā , air (वायु) प्राण / (vāyu) prāṇa , and consciousness चित्त / citta /  cetanā , in popular common parlance are intimately associated with vibrations and frequency, the feelings and emotions are also closely linked to sounds one produces / utters when one experiences of any of them. 
ऋषि / ṛṣi then discovered the link between vowels consonants the compound of them in term of 'word' and found out what form of a language is there that is at the root of all languages.
Just as  चित्त / citta /  cetanā , and (vāyu) / prāṇa /  चित्त / citta 
/  cetanā , are all-pervading elements, the sound that is energy at the visible level and consciousness is like-wise so, when produced / heard by some-one.
This gives us a rational basis for understanding why most of the words of all languages could be conveniently derived from संस्कृत / saṃskṛta. 
The languages so evolved and developed into so varied forms and followed the ethnicity of the people that this fact is now almost forgotten, even suppressed by some scholars also because of their own prejudices and fears, that the origin of all languages is the same and one only. They have devised 'PIE' and discuss if that was the earliest spoken / written language of man.
They are afraid that acknowledging संस्कृत / saṃskṛta. as that one and the only language would cast a death-sentence to their 'religion' and that is how  संस्कृत / saṃskṛta is being side-lined.
And they say and declare संस्कृत / saṃskṛta. is a Dead-language!
Time will tell what is the Truth.
Here are some words to elaborate my point.

> off, open, ofnen (German)
