Pretty much all European languages share indeed a family: Indo-European, also includes Farsi and Sanskrit, so the family goes all the way to India. Finnish and Hungarian are Uralic, with their closest relatives around the Ural. Maltese is Semitic. Turkish is Turk, its relatives stretching all the way to Siberia.

While euroversal (iv) is a rather parochial trait of European languages (cf. section 2.1 and note 3), euroversal (viii) concerns (one of the possible values of) a universal of human language, since all languages of the world make decisions, one way or other, as to how to encode subject and object properties. The paper is organized as follows.

A color-coded map of languages used throughout Europe. There are over 250 languages indigenous to Europe, and most belong to the Indo-European language family. Out of a total European population of 744 million as of 2018, some 94% are native speakers of an Indo-European language. The three largest phyla of the Indo-European language family in Europe are Romance, Germanic, and Slavic; they have

How Similar (and Different) Are European Languages. by Nicole Stansley. In 1971 Dr. Morris Swadesh published a list of 100 words. The list, which he had worked on for more than 20 years, contained the most universal and common words used in languages, and was intended to quantify the interrelatedness of languages.

The term "Standard Average European" (SAE) pretty much covers it, and has been around since the 1930s. Haspelmath listed a number of typical "Euroversals" in a portion of the 2001 book Language Typology and Language Universals.These are listed in a more readable-to-laymen way in the wikipedia article on the subject.Haspelmath included as true Europeanisms (that is, features that are part of

That said, the vast majority of European languages are very closely related, either due to introduction of Germanic and Slavic languages during the Migration Period, or due to the expansion of the Roman Empire. There are some languages descended from earlier periods of Indo-European migration (like Celtic and Greek), and a few non-Indo-European

Linguistic map of Europe. Standard Average European (SAE) is a concept introduced in 1939 by American linguist Benjamin Whorf to group the modern Indo-European languages of Europe with shared common features. Whorf argued that the SAE languages were characterized by a number of similarities, including syntax and grammar, vocabulary and its use, as well as the relationship between contrasting

Europe is moving towards political unity, and dramatic progress has been made in this process over the last fifty years. In this book we wish to demonstrate that there is a much older process leading towards unity in Europe, namely a linguistic one: as a result of cultural, social, economic, and political exchange across national and regional boundaries, the languages and dialects of Europe

This is difficult to assess. Persian, like the vast majority of European languages, belongs to the same language family of IE. Therefore, by definition, every word in the pure idiom of Persian and European languages (that is to say, barring loanwords of non-IE origin) can be traced to a common ancestor. For example, the following article lists the common origin of some of the most central

My guess is the 2 biggest factors are: Time spent learning in school. Most European countries start teaching languages at a younger age, require more years of study in foreign languages, and expect some degree of proficiency in another language by age 18. In the US, in contrast, some school districts require 2 years or less of a language, and
