A comprehensive overlook of the Nordic languages in their old world language families. Sizes of the branches represent the recorded native speakers before year zero.

I have a couple of issues with that description! Not sure how much I want to sperg out about it though. If we disregard that only the North Germanic and Uralic languages can be described as as "Nordic", none of them were recorded at year zero as far as I know. The Romans never went that far North and we would barely have had proto-runes at that time. The Vikings didn't come about till a full millennia later.

It looks mostly accurate but I'm not actually a linguist historian.

The groups seems mostly fine regardless of the details with the year and what is considered Nordic. Not completely sure about Hungarian belonging in the Uralic group, but I suppose it would explain why them and Romanians don't get along. I would also have placed Estonian with the Baltic's.

..Also there would be no birds in a tree with 3 cats in it!

I presume the birds can fly away before the cats get close.

You spelled "glory" wrong.
