Assertion - I : Proto-language does not allow any dialect variation. Assertion - II : Proto-language is an abstraction.
Codes :
Answer: C
Both statements are true. A proto-language is a reconstruction made from the evidence of related languages, so it is an abstraction and not a language anyone is recorded speaking. Because the reconstruction is a single uniform system, it does not show dialect variation, although the real language that it stands for would have had it.
The options that call either statement false are therefore rejected, and the key is 'Both I and II are true'. The reconstructed form of a word in the proto-language is marked with an asterisk, which also shows that it is hypothetical.
