| | Non-English and the net |
| | For European languages, that adage applies to the software developers, for non-European languages it also applies to the users. | | | Even the accents and characters needed for European languages other than English - Spanish ñ, German ß, Danish ø, are handled differently by each computer type. | | | Thus, it is fairly common for European mail to accept this ISO standard, and let the Mac network software take care of the conversions needed between the Mac's own character set and Latin 1. |

| | Seven Distinctive Features of Germanic |
| | These words may have been lost in the other Indo-European languages, borrowed from non-Indo-European languages, or perhaps coined in Germanic. | | | Germanic has a number of unique vocabulary items, words which have no known cognates in other Indo-European languages. | | | The Second Sound Shift (also known as the High German Sound Shift) affected the high but not the low Germanic languages, so English was not affected. |

| | A curious byproduct of the age of colonialism and mercantilism was the introduction of Sanskrit in the 18th century to European intellectuals and scholars long familiar with Latin and Greek and with the European languages of culture — Romance, Germanic, and Slavic. | | | A salient characteristic of Indo-European was that these sounds could function both as consonants and as vowels. | | | A.D. English is the most prevalent member of the Indo-European family, the native language of nearly 350 million people and the most important second language in the world. |

| | A curious byproduct of the age of colonialism and mercantilism was the introduction of Sanskrit in the 18th century to European intellectuals and scholars long familiar with Latin and Greek and with the European languages of culture — Romance, Germanic, and Slavic. | | | The archaeological evidence for the later waves of Kurgan migrations points to their having had an Indo-European culture, but the languages spoken by the later Kurgan peoples must have been already differentiated Indo-European dialects, some of which would doubtless evolve into some of the historical branches of the family tree. | | | Before proceeding with a survey of the lexicon and culture of the Indo-Europeans, it may be helpful to give a concrete illustration of the method used to reconstruct the Proto-Indo-European vocabulary and a brief description of some of the main features of the Proto-Indo-European language. |

| | Review of The European Dream |
| | But he is mistaken that there is any such thing as a European dream, in a land where people speak dozens of different languages, where they disagree on many of the fundamental ideals behind society, and where the everyday struggle to get by is often as difficult as it is in the United States. | | | Now, it is possible that Europe does not include France - and some Europeans would like it that way - but Rifkin's generalizations all fall flat looking at such incidents. | | | Each European country has its problems with racism from either recent immigrants or those who came to the countries after decolonialization. |
