This is a partial list. The numbers after some names mean the number of known languages in that family. If we were doing that for European languages one example would be Romance (23),( although the exact number depends on what you count as understandable or not). This includes, Italian, French, Romanian, Spanish and many others. In the Na-Dene there are as an example there are Northern, Southern and Pacific Coast sub families. In the Southern there are 7 languages. Some have a lot of word similar like Spanish and Italian other s are more distant.
In North America there are thought to have been about 296 spoken (or formerly spoken) indigenous languages north of Mexico, 269 of which are grouped into 29 families (the remaining 27 languages are either isolates or unclassified)
Here one list, there are about 45 others that we don't know enough about to know if they were their own language or what they were related to. That list follows this one.
