All Indo-European Languages
Can you name all of the extant Indo-European languages, according to Wikipedia?
Many, many speech varieties can be categorized as either languages or dialects. I've generally aired on the side of excluding things that Wikipedia refers to as dialects or varieties on their repective pages, but discretion has been used.
The hints are intended to be helpful moreso than a complete, comprehensive, and indisputable categorization.
In general, creoles, pidgins, intermediate dialects, cants, etc have been excluded due to being hard to categorize and due to the massive number of English- and French-based creoles spoken across the Caribbean, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia.
In general, you can expect languages closer to each other on the list to be more closely related, but this is not universally true.
