European languages share similar roots because they belong to the Indo-European language family, which originated from a common language called Proto-Indo-European. As populations migrated, various branches evolved into the major groups like Romance, Germanic, and Slavic languages. This shared ancestry explains the similarities found in vocabulary and grammar across many European languages.
