Most languages of Europe except for Basque, Hungarian, or Finnish and the languages of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India belong to the Indo-European language family. Four of the five official languages of the United Nations are Indo-European (English, French, Russian, and Spanish are Indo-European). It has twelve branches: Romance, Germanic, Slavic, Baltic, Celtic, Iranian, Indic, Tocharian, Anatolian, Armenian, Greek and Albanian. Germanic group includes English, German, Yiddish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch and a few others. Germanic group shares its similarities in vocabulary and phonology and some are mutually intelligible. With about 350 million speakers, English is spoken in many countries such as the British Isles, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, being the second most spoken language in the world after Chinese. Romance Group includes French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian among which Spanish is the third most spoken language in the world. These languages are also closely related to each other.
There are various theories about how Indo-European languages came to spread out to Europe and Western Asia, but the most dominant one presumes that the Indo-European language family originated from the Black Sea during the Neolithic period about 7000BC, spreading west to Europe between 3500BC and 2500BC, south to the Mediterranean, north to Scandinavia, and east to India.
Scattered throughout Asia and Europe are a few smaller language families among which the Altaic Family is named after the Alti Mountains, in Central Asia where nomadic people lived in the plains. Of the three branches of Altaic, Turkic ranges from Anatolia to the Volga basin and central Asia; Mongolian from China and Mongolia to the lower Volga and Afghanistan; Manchu-Tungus from the northern coast of northeastern Siberia to the Amur and to the Yenisei. Korean and Japanese languages are assumed to be remotely related to the Altaic language family, but it is still controversial. Some scholars consider the Altaic languages are related to the Uralic languages and group them as a larger Ural-Altaic language family, but there has been too little evidence to support this.
Included in the Sino-Tibetan family are about 300 East Asian languages, which are divided into a Sinitic Group and a Tibeto-Burman group. The Sinitic group includes a dozen languages among which Mandarin, spoken by about 700 million people in northern China, is the official language of the People's Republic of China. The Tibeto-Burman group includes many rarely spoken languages, among which are Burmese and Tibetan. The Sino-Tibetan language family has the largest number of speakers, estimated to have 1 billion speakers.
In addition to the three above mentioned language families, there are other language families such as the Austronesian family, the Afroasiatic family, the Uralic family, the Malayo-Polynesian family and the Caucasian family. A very large majority of the people in the world speaks languages which belong to only one family. There are, however, also languages that cannot be classified into any family known as language isolates.

Facts About Food
Everywhere on earth there are"food specialists"with opposite (or different) opinions on the best kinds of nutrition for various purposes. A lot of people believe that the healthiest diets are high in fiber ,vitamins ,and minerals but low in fat ,cholesterol ,sugar,and salt. Some nutritionists say the perfect eating plan contains mostly carbohydrates without much protein. In contrast , other scientists say people need high-protein meals with meat, chicken , fish , or milk products and only small amounts of grains , potatoes , breads , rice , and noodles. One famous diet plan allows only certain foods at certain times-protein with protein, carbohydrates with carbohydrates , fruits alone , and so on. Some eaters stay away from all meat and maybe even fish and milk products. They get their protein from plants , mostly beans. Others want only high-fiber food. These people may not eat white bread or white rice or even cooked vegetables. So what is the best way to eat and be healthy? The discussion of food facts will go on far into the future.
The necessary substances and elements for human life and health are water, protein, carbohydrates ,fats , vitamins, and minerals. Most kinds of food contain some or all of the required nutrients , but these substances have different effects on people. Various ingredients and dishes affect the mind in different ways. and some kinds of nourishment have better effects on the brain than others. For instance. can broccoli increase brain power? Maybe so. Low levels of some of the B vitamins can cause a decrease in memory and thinking ability , nutritionists say, but dark green vegetables , like broccoli , contain a lot of these nutrients. Another example of a"memory helper"is lecithin-a substance from soybeans , also found in high-fiber foods like nuts and whole grains. High-protein foods influence the mind in more helpful ways than dishes high in sugar and carbohydrates. And the caffeine in coffee or tea may help thinking. Of course , its effects don't last long.
In many places outside big cities , food with more than four legs is part of good, healthy home cooking. Fried or grilled ants are a tasty but expensive snack in Colombia , South America. In various parts of Mexico , over 300 types of insects serveas food. In southern Africa. many people like to eat at least one kind of caterpillar or worm. They enjoy it fried , dried , or cooked in tomato sauce. In Thailand , cooks create a spicy hot pepper sauce with water bugs. In Vietnam , grasshoppers filled with peanuts are a special dish. And in some regions of China,bugs are not only a part of meals but an important ingredient in medicine too. Most kinds of insects have high nutritional value. They contain a l0t of protein , vitamins , and minerals. Many people like their taste. They are everywhere on the planet. They add to the variety of people' s diets. For several reasons , insects are an important kind of food in the global diet , and they may become a more common ingredient in the future.
The growing similarities in diet and eating habits around the world are influencing people of various cultures in different ways. For example, Western foods are damaging health in the industrialized island country of Japan. Instead of small meals of seafood , rice , and vegetables ,the typical Japanese diet ow includes large amounts of meat ,dairy products. And desserts like tiramisu , a rich Italian dish full of chocolate , cheese , and sugar. According to Japanese health researchers , such changes in eating habits are related to a great increase in health problems such as heart disease , strokes , cancer , and diabetes. On the other hand , the changing global diet is having the opposite effect on the people in the Czech Republic. The government of this European nation no longer supports meat and dairy products financially , so the cost of these foods is going up. In contrast , fresh fruits and vegetables are becoming more widely available from private markets and stands. Cooks are even serving salads to schoolchildren ,and families are eating healthier home-cooked meals. For these reasons ,fewer Czech men are having heart attacks , the women are l0sing a l0t of weight , and most people are living healthier lives.
