From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why are some countries in yellow and others in grey? Is it to differentiate countries that have a IE language as an official lang. from other coutries? If so, I'm not so sure it's either necessary (making the map somewhat confusing) or entirely accurate...

[edit] Later palatalization

Can you really call this the current situation, when reflexes of "centum" in all modern Romance languages but Sardinian are pronounced with s rather than k? Also, both Germanic languages and Greek have changed the k to an h. (hundred, hekto) So only the Celtic languages and Sardinian preserve the k sound. --JWB (talk) 06:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
