Spoiler A map of the official languages of European nations with comparative languages. Blank circle - Germanic Filled circle - Romance Blank lozenge - Finno-Ugric (Uralic family or "gosh darn it these languages are complicated as all heck") Filled lozenge - Slavic X - Other (Maltese - Afro-Asiatic family (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew) ) (Irish - Goidelic (Celtic branch of the Indo-European family) (e.g. Manx, Scottish Gaelic) ) (Greek - Hellenic (Indo-European family) ) (Turkish - Turkic family (e.g. Uzbek, Kazakh) ) (Basque - Language isolate whose orthography makes it look angrier than German if that is even possible) NOTE: Comparative language Esperanto is in fact an artificially constructed language. S-C is Serbo-Croatian which is currently being called four different names because of LINGUISTIC SOCIOPOLITICAL BALKANIZATION. Oh my god, I have linguistically nerded over this thread. Why did in the world did you have to create a thread about languages in the Spam Zone. Now it is ruined with my extreme linguistic silliness and geeking.
Knowing this language grants you access to an entire subcontinent that has been a historic crossroads and is rife with a very rich culture I shall have you know! Hindi-Urdu would be more appropriate because they are extremely mutually intelligible, the only difference really is social and the writing system (a bit like Serbian and Croatian). Giving some time I shall comprise my own graph because this is extremely fun and I applaud the effort taken into this graph and linguistic interest, even if the graph is relatively subjective!
