The foundations of the Laryngeal Theory were laid by F. de Saussure as early as 1879, they were reconstructed by J. Kurylowicz in 1927 and revised by the Vienna linguists M. Meyerhofer, H. Eichner and M. Peters in the 1990s. They represent a new approach to the Early Indo-European vocalic system through the mediation of three hypothetical consonantal laryngeals. However uncertain some elements still may be, the theory has recently proved to be sound. The author presents the current state of the research to Czech students and young scholars interested in Greek and Latin, bringing ca. 200 words in Greek, Latin, Czech, English and German for a practical comparison.
