There are many such languages, not just two. A language isolate is a language that is not closely related to any other language.
Probably the best-known example is Basque, spoken in parts of Spain and France. Because it has no relatives, it is a family unto itself.
The Korean language also has no known relatives, though many linguists have suspected that it is distantly related to Japanese.
Basque is a language isolate, meaning it has no known relatives, while Korean is a language isolate that is considered a language family of its own according to some linguistic classifications.
Groups of languages that are similar to one another are called language families. Some examples include the Romance languages (e.g., Spanish, French, Italian), the Germanic languages (e.g., English, German, Dutch), and the Slavic languages (e.g., Russian, Polish, Czech). These language families share common roots and have similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics.
No, different languages have different sets of consonant and vowel sounds. While there are some sounds that are common across many languages, there are also unique sounds that are specific to certain languages or language families. These variations in sounds can lead to challenges for language learners when trying to produce unfamiliar sounds.
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.
Europe is a continent with many countries. They all have their own languages, like Italian in Italy, French in France, Danish in Denmark etc. There is no language called European.
English, Hindi, and Punjabi are all languages that belong to different language families. English is a Germanic language, while Hindi is an Indo-Aryan language, and Punjabi is an Indo-European language. They are related in that they all have distinct histories and origins but may share some common roots in the broader Indo-European language family.

The spread of Proto-Indo-European language is believed to have occurred through migration and cultural diffusion as groups of people moved across various regions, interacting with and assimilating elements of local languages. Over time, these interactions led to the development of new languages and language families, resulting in the diversity of languages spoken today.
There is no primitive language. All languages are fully developed.
The English language is a romantic language. Other romantic languages include Italian and Spanish. All three of these languages came from Latin, which is why they are called "romantic" languages.
Some examples of languages that are not Romance languages include English, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, and Swahili. These languages come from different language families such as Germanic, Sino-Tibetan, Afro-Asiatic, Slavic, Japonic, and Niger-Congo, respectively.
Most Europeans today speak Indo-European languages, which include language families like Germanic, Romance, and Slavic. These are the most widespread language groups across Europe.
