Indo-European languages
| This page has been nominated for cleanup for the following reason: This is more of a list than a learning space. Wikipedia already does a pretty comprehensive job of listing and categorising the Indo-European languages.

This page provides a classification of the Indo-European languages and analyses of the major European languages.
