<div>'''Frisian''' is a language and nationality native to the province of [[Friesland]] in the [[Netherlands]], but which was in ancient times far more extensive. Pockets of the language still exist in the province of Friesland. Frisian is the closest relative of [[English]], and exists in the coastal regions of the [[North Sea]] where the [[Anglo-Saxon]]s originated. Features which Frisian shares with English, but with no other Germanic language, include a vocalisation of certain consonants at the end of words.<br />

It is the world's largest language group encompassing many languages, including most of those spoken in the greater Eurasian continent from Iceland to the Xinjiang province, China. It includes English and most of the major European languages.<br />
<br />
Although there is debate about its origin, the most commonly accepted hypothesis among secular linguists is that Indo-European dates from about 4000 BC, and originated in the Caspian steppe. Creationists believe that all languages were created by God in about 2200 BC following the destruction of the Tower of Babel. In their view the Indo-European languages are an offshoot of the original [[Hebrew]] language.<br />
<br />
Indo-European is divided into several language branches both extinct (Anatolian and Tocharian) and living as with several proposed languages and peoples. A few are merely language isolates (Greek, Armenian) with evidence only pertaining to one language with no living or extinct ancestors, yet which can be traced to the Indo-European family. These current living language families are:<br />
