 CaioPereira rated 7 months ago- Probably the prettiest I-E language tree I've ever seen, but terrible incomplete and overly-simple, presumably for considerations of design.

- 1) language groups are not related by vocab, more by grammar and pronounciation
2) the balto-slavic group is no longer considered a worthwhile hypothesis, should be more a balto-slavic-german group, where the similarities between baltic and slavic are more because of two seperate periods of close isoglossal communities

- If that language tree is a tree, why make such an awful (and artistically uninspiring) projection.

- This is really interesting, so that anyone can locate the lineage of their own language.
However, some currently spoken languages are missing:
I.e. after the independence of Portugal (15th century) Old Portuguese began to evolve into two languages:
1. Modern Portuguese.
2. Galician.

- What can I say? I'm a language nerd. So much so that I'm getting my degree in linguistics. Go figuah!

- A version of the Indo-European family tree that's more a spider than a tree.

- Well... interesting. But kinda bollocks. It implies to the more naíve surfer that languages aren't interdependent and interbred. Which they totally are. I mean, I'm writing 'English' right now, but i'm using words from loads of those other languages, and syntax that's nothing like 'Old English', after all...
