On the Piccadilly Line on Saturday (Hounslow West to Hammersmith) I was sitting opposite a father and daughter who were speaking a language I didn't recognise. As both were fair-skinned and the little girl was blonde, I assume that they were European and speaking a European language (unless they were testing their knowledge of Swahili). What about Turkish (or Russian) where speakers may be European or Asian? Finn, Estonian and Hungaian don't sound a bit "European" People I've spoken to have said that Portugese sounds more like Russian than like a European language. On the other hand French and Spanish certainly sound European but are spoken by people in many countries outside Europe. -- message by the incredible Robin May.
