This page has been nominated for cleanup for the following reason: This is more of a list than a learning space. Wikipedia already does a pretty comprehensive job of listing and categorising the Indo-European languages.

This page provides a classification of the Indo-European languages and analyses of the major European languages.
For an overview of the Indo-European languages, including spread and classification, please see Wikipedia's article on Indo-European languages.
