The nordic languages are categorized as germanic, not to be confused with the dialects of the many germanic states.

The French, Spanish, Portugese, and Italian languages are called Romantic, they were derived from Latin, the official language of the now-defunct Roman Empire.

English and Frisian, the latter of which is a language family existing within the coast within the Netherlands, the former of which is spoken by roughly half of the internet, are strange german-romance hybrids.

Does anyone know the exact definition of a "language"?

Do you want the clinical definition or a definition agreed upon by a group of people or just some random dude's opinion on what language is?

Cause it'll boil down to roughly the same thing; a common tongue held by a group of people(s) that overlaps with the culture of a given place.
