Today more than 100 European languages are spoken. Would you like to see where these languages come from and how they are interrelated?

Approximately 94% of Europeans use the huge "Indo-European" (IE) language family, which has many branches and spreads around the world.

Other European language families include Ural languages (including Finnish, Hungarian, and Estonian), isolated Basque, Turkic, and several other languages found in the Caucasus (eg Georgian). Maltese is a descendant of Arabic written in the Latin alphabet and used in Malta. Esperanto is a language that combines European influence. About 5000 years ago, the Indo-European language family gradually spread to Europe. The language grew and changed over time, broken into Celtic, italic (containing Latin), Germanic, and Baltic Slavic branches, which were later broken down into the languages known today.

What was Europe like before the bigger language families arrived?

We know very little about the ancient languages of Europe, there is no important documentary evidence, and no descendants (except Basque). The interesting thing about Basque is that both are isolated (no relatives). ), and its ancestors, probably existed in Europe before Indo-European languages appeared, which makes it more "native" than any other language used in Europe. Perhaps this is the only European family that has no relatives outside of Europe. It shares a culture with similar religions, such as Rome, Greece, and Hinduism, and some related deities.

It is worth it to mention that the origin of the languages is not the alike as the inherent origin of the people or the cultural origin, but these are interrelated. Over time, the branches of Indo-European moved to the whole of Europe (and into India). It is believed that some of them, such as Greek and Celtic, left their mother language earlier, while others, like Baltic and Slavic, may have left their mother language later.

What are Official Languages of the European Union?

The European continent consists of 45 countries and covers an area of 3,930,000 square miles, which makes it a very diverse place with many different cuisines, cultures, and languages. The European Union (EU) alone has 27 different member states and uses 23 official languages there.

To become the official language of the European Union, the language of the member states must be both an official language and a working language. Such as, French is the official language of France, and France is a member of the European Union, so it is also the official language of the European Union.

On the contrary, EU countries have minority languages spoken by many groups. Although these minority languages are important to these groups, these are not the official languages of the European Union.
