I've forgotten so much.
Hebrew is not an Indo-European language, rufio, but you've certainly does yeoman work here. Now, Yiddish is an Indo-European langauge. So is Ladino.
I was going to do a list in Latvian, but I don't have the appropriate diacritical marks on my keyboard. I could do a partial list, I suppose, or one with phonetic spellings. Would that help you, D1 Doris?
I never got what "indo-European" was supposed to mean...
rufio, Indo-European languages constitute a lnaguage group of related languages which include most of the kanguages spoken in Europe today (exceptions: Basque, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, probably some other minor ones) as well as Farsi (the language of Iran), Pashtu (I think) and Sanskrit. It is generally believed by most linguists that all of these modern languages evolved from one common language spoken thousands of years ago by the people who settl4ed the European continent and the Indian subcontinent. Those European groups which do not speak an Indo-European language were either (1)earlier residents of the area, later displaced and/or subjugated by the Indo-Europeans; or (2) later immigrants who retained the language they btought with them, most likely from East Asia (the Finno-Ugric group of Finns, Estonians and Hungarians speak languages related to Finno-Ugric groups in Siberia.) Indo-European lamguages are further subdivided into sub-groups. English belongs to the Germanic sub-group; Frensh, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian belong to the Romance sub-group. And so on.
Thought that would be easier reading than Phoenix's wonderful but oh-so-erudite link.
Ah what the hell, I'll give it a go. Would be a personal test for me at the same time.
So here goes, in Macedonian. I'll use the Croation letters, which are also used by the Macedonians, in case of the need of latin writing. 8)
Notes:
Almost all words are pronounced as they are written.
Exceptions:
When a consonant preceeds the r, the r will have the english "e" from "after" between the consonant and r.
The same is the case when dealing with the "n"
The stress almost always falls on the first syllably, almost never on the last.
