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?

Yep, Galician is the language spoken in Galicia, in the north-west of spain. It's a language very similar to Portuguese.

Will fix then.


Kind regards,
     Bernd

PS: Keen to learn something.

Cheers,

Alex
