The Skeptic's Dictionary began with fewer than 50 entries in 1994 and has grown to more than 500 entries in 2007. Each month, the site gets about a million visitors and processes about 1.5 million page views. Thousands of readers have e-mailed comments, suggestions, and criticisms. In response, I've added many new entries since the first "printing." Many reader comments have been posted. Thanks to alert readers, numerous errors have been corrected.

In 1960s, the existence of the first of such parent languages was discovered and proven, called Nostratic.
