Long ago, in a galaxy very, very near (because it was this one) we all talked like Yoda from "Star Wars", one hypothesis suggests.
The original "proto-human language", linguists contend, used subject-object-verb (SOV) ordering, with some variation. So when prehistoric men met prehistoric women, he likely said, "Make out with me you will."
The researchers came to their conclusion after creating a language family tree, which shows the historical relationships between all the languages of the world.
