The Indo-European Language Family
A humorous language-family diagram maps Indo-European languages onto characters from animated films, including Shrek and Puss in Boots. The joke is that a complex linguistic family tree is presented as a character relationship chart, with familiar faces standing in for different language branches. People send it as a reaction to language nerdiness, confusing family trees, or the surprising connections between languages.
