Difference between Linguistic reconstruction and Proto-language

Linguistic reconstruction vs. Proto-language

Linguistic reconstruction is the practice of establishing the features of an unattested ancestor language of one or more given languages. A proto-language, in the tree model of historical linguistics, is a language, usually hypothetical or reconstructed, and usually unattested, from which a number of attested known languages are believed to have descended by evolution, forming a language family.

Similarities between Linguistic reconstruction and Proto-language

Linguistic reconstruction and Proto-language have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Attested language, Comparative method, Internal reconstruction, Language family, Proto-Dravidian language, Proto-Indo-European language.

Attested language

In linguistics, attested languages are languages (living or dead) that have been documented and for which the evidence has survived to the present day.

Comparative method

In linguistics, the comparative method is a technique for studying the development of languages by performing a feature-by-feature comparison of two or more languages with common descent from a shared ancestor, in order to extrapolate back to infer the properties of that ancestor.
