Historical linguistics is the study of language change. It has five main concerns: to describe and account for observed changes in particular languages, to reconstruct the pre-history of languages and determine their relatedness, grouping them into language families (comparative linguistics), to develop general theories about how and why language changes, to describe the history of speech communities and to study the history of words, i.e. etymology.
