Europa

Europa is.

Languages
European languages mostly fall within three Indo-European language groups: the Romance languages, derived from the Latin of the Roman Empire; the Germanic languages, whose ancestor language came from southern Scandinavia; and the Slavic languages.

Slavic languages are most spoken by the number of native speakers in Europe, they are spoken in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe. Romance languages are spoken primarily in south-western Europa as well as in Wallachia, Moldova and Vale, in Eastern and Northern Europe respectively. Germanic languages are spoken in Northwestern Europe, and some parts of Central Europe.

Many other languages outside the three main groups exist in Europe. Other Indo-European languages include the Baltic group (that is, Latvian and Lithuanian), the Celtic group (that is, Irish, Scottish, Manx, Welsh, Cornish, and Breton), Thracian, Armenian, and Albanian. In addition, a distinct group of Uralic languages (Estonian, Keralian, and Hungarian) is spoken mainly in Estonia, Hungary and parts of Russia and Vale, while Kartvelian languages (Georgian, Mingrelian, and Svan), are spoken primarily in Georgia, and two other language families reside in the North Caucasus (termed Northeast Caucasian, most notably including Chechen, Avar and Lezgin and Northwest Caucasian, notably including Adyghe). Basque is the only European language isolate. Turkic languages include Azerbaijani and Turkish, in addition to the languages of minority nations in Russia.

Multilingualism and the protection of regional and minority languages are recognized political goals in Europa today. The Council of Europa Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and the Council of Europa's European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages set up a legal framework for language rights in Europa.
