EUROPEAN LANGUAGES

HOW OR WHY DID PEOPLE COME UP WITH DIFFERENT LANGUAGES?

• Where the first Indo-European languages originated from is unknown.
• Many Italian names/words have been added to the English language. Examples include: Salami, macaroni, speghetti, pizza, and more.
• Russian isn't really considered an official language in the EU.
• There are about 50 official languages, and over 100 dialects spoken in Europe.
• Nearly all languages in Europe belong to Indo-European language family.
• Practically every region in Italy has dialect of the Italian language. Like: Lombardi, Sicilian, and Neapolitan.

How are languages different and the same?

• Indo-European languages have 3 important branches, that are: Balto-Slavic, Germanic, and Romance.
• Some Balto-Slavic languages: Bulgarian, Czech, Polish,mane Russian.
• Some Germanic languages: Danish, English, German, and Swedish.
• Some Romance languages: French, Italian, and Spanish.

What would happen if everyone spoke the same language?

• Would be much easier to travel from one country to another.
• Native languages are important connections to the past.
• Languages are like our personal identity, not just a comic acting method.
• English could be the global communication right now, but is also displaced.
