@conradhackett nice but can we drop the term "old world"?
@barefootliam @conradhackett In context, it’s from a post-apocalyptic comic set in Nordic countries that have lost touch with the rest of the world.
@thiswasatriumph @conradhackett thanks! I see. The term old world has “Manifest Destiny” connotations in North America, of course.

Haven't read a good long-form webcomic in a while. Thanks for this!

@conradhackett Ah, Stand Still Stay Silent! Last year this story sucked me deeply in for several weeks. A terrific feat of visual imagination. & rather brave approach to characterization, spending dozens of pages on the minute internal bickerings of this team whose members are each incompetent in their own special way; yet are also endearing so that the horrific interludes hit hard! (& to clarify, states the tree is families with Nordic languages only, not intended to cover entire Old World.)

@conradhackett it is cool, but it also leaves a lot of languages unaccounted for.

Here some the families in North America: http://goosie.cogsci.indiana.edu/farg/rehling/nativeAm/ling.html#:~:text=These%20included%20Algic%20(Algonquin)%2C,%2C%20Kiowa%2DTanoan%20and%20Caddoan.

Here are some in South America: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_languages_of_South_America

Here are some in Africa: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Africa

The E-I tree may be the biggest but someone should draw the forest.

@conradhackett Thanks, I had seen this beautiful tree before on the Internets, but I had no idea of the source. Thanks, Minna Sundberg!
