We know this because of the words, writing styles and through history. All Indo-Euroepean Languages, use a very similar style of grammar, poetic styles, syntax, and samatics.
Further through writings we can see that these languages have evolved very precisly through time, in Europe it began with German, Greek, and Latin, which was based off of Phoenician,

Linguists have compared similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics across Indo-European languages to trace their origins to a common ancestor, known as Proto-Indo-European. By studying these linguistic features, researchers have been able to reconstruct this ancient language and map its evolution into the diverse languages we see today.

How are the worlds languages organized?
The world's languages are organized into language families, which are groups of languages that share a common ancestor. These language families are then further categorized into branches, groups, and individual languages based on their linguistic similarities and differences. Linguists study these relationships to better understand the history and development of human languages.

i dont really know... sorry.
What languages are know as Romance languages?
The romance languages are the descendants of Latin: French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
Are there any people who know all the languages in the world?
It is highly unlikely for any individual to know all the languages in the world, as there are over 7,000 different languages spoken globally. Even the most multilingual individuals typically only know a handful of languages fluently.
What languages are easy to learn if you know Spanish?
If you know Spanish, it may be easier to learn other Romance languages such as Italian, French, or Portuguese due to their similarities in grammar and vocabulary. Additionally, languages like Catalan or Galician, which are also Romance languages, could be easier for Spanish speakers to learn.
Which of the following is true about the supergroups and a common ancestor?
Scientists know that the supergroups do not share a single common ancestor but do not know where in time they branch off from each other:)
How would you know if organisms shared a common ancestor?
The closer the DNA pattern (the nucleotide base pairing), the closer the species from a common ancestor.
Where would you go to find out if someone was your cousin?
You need to find out if you have a common ancestor, as this is what determines if you are cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather, you are 1st cousins. If your common ancestor is your great-grandfather, you are 2nd cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather and their great-grandfather, you are 1st cousins once removed. It can get complicated, so once you find your common ancestor, come back and let us know, and someone can tell you exactly.

What evidence suggests that humans and bats have a common ancestor?
For one, both humans and bats are in the class Mamalia, which is reason enough to suggest that they come from a common ancestor. The modern classification system, developed by Linnaeus, and modified by scientists such as Darwin and Lyell, is based of common ancestors. So, all mammals come from a common ancestor. How do we know this? Well, all mammals share a peculiar trait: All mammals are completely indistinguishable at the pre embryonic stage. This proves that bats and humans come from common ancestry.

Are lions and tigers evolved from a common ancestor cat like ancestor an example of micro evolution?
Tigers, Lions, Leopards, and Jaguars all belong to the genus Panthera, which are the cats that can roar. They probably all evolved from Viretailurus schaubi, but I don't know that for certain. The short answer to your question is that Lions and Tigers "probably" evolved from a common ancester. If you go back far enough in our evolutionary history, just about all animals share a common ancestor of some kind.
What is the name of the first living thing on earth?
There is no particular name for it, since we do not know exactly what that organism was. We do, however, have a general name LUCA, which stands for Last Universal Common Ancestor, meaning the last living thing that was the ancestor of all life on Earth.
