Oakster Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 http://elms.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/lexical-distance-among-languages-of-europe/I know this is a 2008 study but since I just found it, it's new to me I think it's really interesting how central Greek is, yet only Albanian is relatively close to it.

littlebelgianwriter Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 That is really interesting indeed.I will look into that topic later on!Both Greek and Albanian stand a little bit alone.It is also interesting to see how many speakers there are for every language.I sort of knew that Finnish and Hungarian were related to one another, however, I had no idea that Estonian was related to Finnish too. I thought that language was related to Swedish and the other Germanic languages. Seems that I thought wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
