OK, Hindi is nice too :)
This shows that at some point Proto-Indo-European gave birth to 2 families:
(this gets highly technical now)
 * "the languages that got it right"
 * "the languages that got it wrong" (Germanic!!!!) 

Half-kidding...

Just to try to get this to be somewhat on topic, does anyone else think
that German feels just like forth?
 * lots of _words_
 * you stack them to define new ones
 * kind of RPN-ish with verb at the end and such :-)

Now, did any feature of Japanese get into Ruby?
