August Schleicher was a German linguist. His great work was "A Compendium of the Comparative Grammar of the Indo-European Languages", in which he attempted to reconstruct the Proto-Indo-European language. August Schleicher was born in Meiningen (Duchy Saxe-Meiningen, southwest of Weimar in the Thuringian Forest). He began his career studying theology and Indo-European, especially Slavic languages.
