There is also linguistic evidence which suggests that the Bronze Age Proto-Indo Europeans (from whom most European and Indic languages descend) might have replaced a base-8 system (or a system which could only count up to 8) with a base-10 system.
也有语言学证据显示青铜时代印欧人（多数欧洲和印度语言来源于此）可能用基数10的系统取代了基数8系统（或者一个只能数到8的系统）。
