You're right of course - all languages ultimately descend from the very same first language, which can easily be reconstructing, notwithstanding what Mark Rosenfelder writes at http://www.zompist.com/proto.html, as I've clearly demonstrated when giving the Swadesh formula for Denden, Valdyan and English and a host of other languages not long ago!
