Description from the creator

CORRECTIONS:
1: What I'm doing for the "x" sound isn't very accurate at all. It should sound softer.
2: We don't actually know whether PIE long and short vowels differed ONLY in length. They might have also been pronounced a little bit differently.
3: "vocalized" is not the word I mean here. The word for it is "voiced."
4: Voiced aspirated plosives aren't actually produced with an unvoiced interval, they're produced with a "breathy voiced" interval. What I mean by "breathy voiced" is a little complicated, but the point is it's technically neither voiced nor unvoiced.

More accurate PIE sample starts at 8:54.
