But things go sour quickly
But things go sour quickly as two wrongs make an even wronger wrong. Check out Aurie's channel here: @valstartaker.
Was PIE a spoken language? That's an interesting question and a very good one - it also leads us to ask ourselves what PIE is, if it's a reconstruction of a language proper or simply an abstraction of what could have been a proto-language. While early PIE which encompasses a lot of european languages (barring the oppositely named paleo-european languages, including things like the Basque and Uralic families) from Spain to India, this is a much later form. This reconstruction is courtesy mainly of the Academia Priska and Leiden Brill series (as well as input from various linguists such as Byrd when the Academia fell short, as reconstructions inevitably do).
As mentioned, you could call this Late West Proto-Indo-European, the ancestor of a much more constrained group of languages based on areal proximity, Italic, Celtic and Germanic. It's insanely hard to explain all the differences and complexities of PIE, but as best as I can explain it this is essentially a dialect spoken only in the West of Europe and at a much closer time than the inception of PIE, usually situated around 6000 BC and no later than 3000 BC even for the conservative linguists. Indeed this reconstruction is from around 2000 BC and I've chosen to represent two bell beaker Celts - in the thumbnail the chap on the left is a Bell Beaker and the man on the right is an Anglo-Saxon bog find who just happened to look quite cool. For more images of actual Bell Beakers like Leftie, one of my recent videos has a Bell Beaker archer firing a bow in the thumbnail.
