Public Research: Mothertongue (Part 1)

I was in doubt how to put down this one, since number of spoken languages of the world exceeds 3,000, but finally I've came to conclusion to put down larges language families. Most common classification distinguishes 19 families, which are listed in two polls (as limit of poll entries for single poll is 10). If you do not find your family here, refer to Public Research: Mothertongue (Part 2). If you are not sure where your language belongs to, consult some authority and/or the Map before voting.

Pray be attentive - Caucasian does not equal 'language spoken by 'Caucasian race' - see definition provided in Post #10 of the current thread! (I don't believe seeing number of compatriots I haven't heard about before!)
