Given the huge geographical spread of IE languages (in Eurasia spanning from Bangladesh to Iceland), the cross-pollination between IE and non-IE languages is even greater than the intra-IE cross-pollination, as is evident from degree to which these languages have diverged and mixed with neighboring language families like Semitic, Caucasian, Dravidian, Uralic, Turkic, Basque, etc. IE languages do share a unique inherited relationship also, based on their common origin, but the use of the word "paneer" in India isn't due to inheritance, but rather borrowing. The inheritance is most visible in today in words like kinship terms and pronouns.
