Most European languages belong to three broad groups: Germanic, Romance and Slavic.
Rythyms is the longest word in the English language that doesn’t have any vowels.
Most European languages use the Latin alphabet. Some Slavic languages use the Cyrillic alphabet. Greek, Armenian, Georgian and Yiddish have their own alphabet.
If languages aren’t spoken, learned or shared they can eventually become extinct! Just like the dead languages of Manx and Latin, there are over 200 recorded languages that are extinct.
