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? Nicole
