Most scientific and technical vocabulary is built from Latin and Greek roots just as often in Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Latvia etc. as it is done in England, Germany or France. </p><p>So it would be best, in my opinion, to replace the weasel phrase "Western (European) languages" by simply "European languages" since most European countries are a part of the same civilization which originated with the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece. --<a href="/w/index.php?title=User:RokasT&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:RokasT (page does not exist)">RokasT</a> (<a
