Public Research: Mothertongue (Part 2)

[HerenIstarion]

I was in doubt how to put down this one, since number of spoken languages of the world exceeds 3,000, but finally I've came to conclusion to put down larges language families. Most common classification distinguishes 19 families, which are listed in two polls (as limit of poll entries for single poll is 10). If you do not find your family here, refer to Public Research: Mothertongue (Part 1) (http://69.51.5.41/showthread.php?p=442830#post442830). If you are not sure where your language belongs to, consult some authority and/or the Map (http://69.51.5.41/attachment.php?attachmentid=236&stc=1) before voting.

Heren, the link you provided, titled, "The Map" does not work.

[HerenIstarion]

Must now :)

I'm confused... wouldn't Latin (as a family) be where Spanish/Italian and possibly French fit?

[Anguirel]

That would be Indo-European.

We're talking nice, broad distinctions...Eurasia and Eastasia all the way...

Maybe this will help some people.

The Indo-European language group includes:
Indo-Iranian languages (including Sanskrit)
Greek
Italic/Romance languages (Spanish, Italian, French, Romanian, Portuguese, etc.)
Germanic languages (German, Dutch, English, Icelandic, Danish, Swedish, etc. - but not Finnish)
Balto-Slavic (Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Croation, Slovenian, Latvian, Lithuanian, etc.)
Celtic (Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, etc.)

Whew, there. I was wondering where Austronesian is.

So I'm the only one who voted (so far) in this part? That's so cool...
