Thanks for pointing this out.

Yes you are right, I am not a linguist so I have little knowledge for "Indo" languages.

Originally I adopted the word of "Germanic languages" then I found Spanish is not a Germanic language hence I then adopted "Indo European" language.

This needs a fix for sure.

Also worth noting that out of those you listed, Russian is also not a Germanic language (it's Slavic), and does not use the Latin alphabet.
