A bit weird to include Albanian in West European languages, isn't it?
Maybe the text could be reworked to:
"many West European languages such as Basque, Danish, [... other
languages ...] and also Albanian."
I'd rather remove the "West" adjective from Europe. It's simpler. Does it sound reasonable to you?
And it's way more accurate:
- Albanian is Balkan.
- Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish is Scandinavian.
- Italy is (usually) southern Europe.
- Faroese is propably also Scandinavian.
- Where is actually Galician spoken? In the north-west of Spain?
Kind regards,
Bernd
