There are also some European languages that are not on the European language tree, such as Hungarian and Basque.

Languages such as Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese do not belong on the European family tree of languages. These languages belong to different language families, such as the Afro-Asiatic language family for Arabic and the Sino-Tibetan language family for Chinese and Japanese.

Why are so many European languages so similar?

European languages tend to seem similar because the vast majority come from the Indo-European language family. More than that, Western European languages are almost exclusively Romance or Germanic languages--Eastern European languages are more diverse, some are Slavic, some are from the Uralic language family and completely different from the Indo-European languages. Europe therefore has a lot of languages that use the same alphabet and are closely related to each other--not to mention the amount of borrowing that went on between languages over the centuries.
