Indo - European

When I got my American Heritage Dictionary 55 years ago, I was curious about their language tree inside the cover. English came from Indo-European? I met a Frisian back in the 1980s.

Thanks for writing this. This is as close to a follow-up as I've gotten!

(I had to replace the dictionary. It physically wore out. In the 1970s, college kids entertained themselves looking up naughty words. You would not see them in print anywhere else. Laughter until your eyes watered. The world was a more innocent place.)
