How many European countries can you think of?
In the 18th, 19th and to some extent the 20th, centuries, many grammarians prescribed that a sentence couldn't, or shouldn't, be ended with a preposition (as in Romance languages, like Latin, Italian, Portuguese etc.), so:
Who are you talking to? = To whom are you talking?
However, English is originally a Germanic language (like German, Swedish, Danish etc.) which allow sentences to be ended with a preposition (in fact in German it is positively necessary), so it would not be practical to deny this in English, given its linguistic history.
