I'm aware of Indo-European languages, yeah. In fact I'm reading Indo-European as Mythology and Science by Stefan Arvidsson right now 
Hmm, the wiki didn't mention Czech influences of English language heh. They are robot, golem, pistol (yup- Czech invented the early version of gun), etc.
The link didn't mention the origin, but thought I'd throw that down. English is originally a West Germanic language.
