Or we could just say that all the European languages are related anyway (well, apart from the Finno-Ugric or Altaic languages) :-)

I don't see why some people, like sir_inferno, feel the need to get people's backs up anyway. I love languages, they are one of my passions. I love the nuances of each language! Far from wanting to get involved in petty squabbles about which is better, I'd rather just learn more languages. In fact, I should spend more time doing that than posting on here!
I am currently trying to teach myself Dutch and Estonian, I learned Russian at university, French and Latin at school, a very good friend of mine teaches me bits of Lithuanian when we get together in London for a drink (bah, non-alcoholic now of course) and I can tell you, the impression I get of languages is that they are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle - the more pieces you have the easier it is to see the picture...
