It did include those families of languages. I logged on late and had to log off for a few hours because we had visitors. When I got back it was very late and I was just trying to finish the post. I apologize for those omissions as I believe they comprise the eastern portion of the Indo-European languages. I believe I only included the western portion, and accidentally omitted the eastern part of the family. My apologies. My dictionary has around 15 very complete pages that discusses the development of the English language. Perhaps, my condensed version did not do the language justice.

jbe, Certainly my high-school Latin was of immense help with learning English vocabulary, I maintain that the study of Latin (or Greek, whose grammatical structure is quite similar to Latin's)is equally or even more important toward an understanding of English grammar. (I have presented this opinion before, so I'm sorry for the repetition.) I've often thought that students dissect Latin sentences and grammatical structures as a Biology student dissects a specimen. These exercises are great learning experiences for English Grammar, in my opinion. Jack
