Indo-European linguistics is not nearly as blatantly incompatible with Young-Earth Creationism as Afro-Asiatic linguistics is.
Aspects only look less incompatible with young earth creationism if one classifies arbitrarily and then puts on blinders and decline to view it in its broader context. For example if you view Indo-European languages in the broader context of its relationship with other language families, then pretty soon it looks as incompatible with young earth creationism as any other language family.
What relationship with other language families? Mainstream linguistics considers the Indo-European language family to be unrelated to any other language family. Though, I have done a bit of research, and I think Indo-European and Austronesian languages are related. You can read about it on my blog. In short, I think that Proto-Indo-European 's' corresponds to Proto-Austronesian 'q', and a crude calculation shows that the probability of such a pattern appearing due to chance is around 6%.
