zompist is a great site, this guy has way too much time on his hands. It's fun to compare the similarity of Indo-European numbers. The common origin of nearly all eurpoean (and most indian) languages is obvious when you look at the similarity of the numbers. don't get rodii started on my folk-linguistic reasoning though ;-j Another interesting one is Austronesian which before the time of European colonial expansion was the world's most geographical widespread language group.

eurpoean is a clever anagram of European.

Numbers are usually a good place to start comparing languages, once you get past one and two, which often come from other sources.

That's all very well, but I want to know how to curse in other languages.

The internet is such a rich tapestry of puerile hatred.
