Maybe that chart I linked to in post 36 is a little out of date. It is a neat way to show the language explosion though, and the relationships between modern, ancient, and inferred languages.

Thanks,
I couldn't remember the fancier names, been a while since I studied the stuff. It is interesting to me, particularly the revival of the language.
IIRC the first public schools were those provided by the British to their Celtic cousins essentially in order to ensure that the Gaelic was wiped out. To my mind, public education is still in the business of destroying culture, mostly - but that is another topic.
