3. German; "Es ist schøn", "Guten morgen!". "Hallo!", "Willkommen!"

2. Norwegian; "Det er skjønt", "God morgen!", "Hallo!", "Velkommen!"

1. Swedish; "Det e skjønt det!" "God Morgon", "Hallo!", "Valkommen!"

If I exclude English (my native tongue), it'll have to be....

1. German
2. Latin
3. Afrikaans

....as they're the only three I've had any real contact with.

Yeah, it's neat, isn't it? I find stuff like that interesting. They are similar to each other because they are closely related, and each evolved from a common language. This diagram shows them in the bottom left:

Dilbert's computer programming languages aren't on the diagram.
