Hmm...what do you mean, "language list"? I have a New College Edition
American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: it's bright red
and has a list of IE langs inside the back cover. It's more of a chart
than a list, but it's still really cool. My parents have another
dictionary downstairs with a table almost like it. This one has several
things about IndoEuropean though: There are articles about "A Brief
History of the English Language," "The Indo-European Origin of English,"
and the appendices "Indo-European and the Indo-Europeans" and
"Indo-European Roots," as well as a table of Indo-European sound
correspondences to numerous dead and living languages. Is this what
you're talking about at all?
