Cultures Diversity, one Europe

Language and its origins

On of the different between the different countries is our language. All the countries involved in the project speak different languages, but finally many times, we have a common origin, or we have words that came from the same countries.

To identify the different origins of the languages, we prepared the following activity, which final end was to reconstruct the European Tree of Languages.

Here we can see the different activities presented by the countries:
