One method which has been widely used is glottochronology […]. The method relies on the assumption that linguistic change takes place at a steady and predictable rate, which can be quantified and compared with a list of core vocabulary. […] Using this method one can compare the vocabularies of any two or more related languages and calculate the approximate time at which they diverged from their common ancestor. - Romaine (1988), a pag.95
