Engrg.; Dept. of Civ. Serial Information: Journal of the Construction Division, 1982, Vol. 108, Issue 4, Pg. Abstract: Inflation has become a chronic problem whose effects permeate the entire construction industry. Owners are not only paying for the increased costs of facilities and capital but also for premiums on construction prices because of the uncertainties of inflation and its side effects. Contractors are faced with severe uncertainty in bidding and financing work on projects.
The Indo-European language family has four main living branches: Indo-Iranian, Balto-Slavic, Germanic, and Italic.
Languages in the first group belong to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family. Languages in the second group belong to the Slavic branch. Although there are no written records of the ancestral *Proto-Germanic or *Proto-Slavic languages, we have to assume that these two ancestral languages must have existed at some time, just like Latin did.
