Nordic Languages in Their Old World Language Families

Check out this comprehensive overlook of the Nordic languages in their old world language families by Source: Stand Still. Stay Silent – webcomic. Here’s what they had to say:

“Language trees for the language lovers! I’ve gathered pretty much all the data for this from ethnologue.com, which is an awesome well of information about language families. And if anyone finds some important language missing let me know! (Naturally most tiny languages didn’t make it on the graph, aww. There’s literally hundreds of them in the Indo-European family alone and I could only fit so many on this page, so most sub-1 mil. speaker languages that don’t have official status somewhere got the cut.)”
