This major language does not truly belong to any single family but rather is a creole, best described as "three languages in a trenchcoat".

Gaulish
This language is the most ancient one on Earth, and a cornerstone of most living languages of today
Albanian | Greek | Hebrew | Latin | Sanskrit | Tamil | Welsh

I still can't finally get is it quiz a joke or not. If to look on your description, these facts are actually false, and in some answers, I just feel like they're quite... inaccurate

Germanic languages do not generally put the verb at the end, really only German and Dutch (and I assume Afrikaans) of the major Germanic languages. English doesn't and do the Scandinavian languages.
