One is the Indo-European, the other one - I don't know, maybe the Semitic languages???
The largest language families can be ranked by two different standards, the number of speakers, or the number of languages spoken.Although relatively contentious due to variance amongst researchers, the numbers provided here are from Ethnologue, which is a Christian Linguistic service that studies lesser known languages.By number of speakers, the two largest language families are the Indo-European language family (which accounts for 46% of the global population) and the Sino-Tibetan language family (which accounts for 21% of the global population).By the number of languages within the language family, the two largest language families are the Niger-Congo language family and the Austronesian language family, with 1532 and 1257 languages respectively.
A language barrier exists when two or more people do not speak or understand a common language.
No, not at all. Misunderstandings happen all the time, even within families.
There are many answers to this question, but they can be simplified to two complementary reasons: a) the position of English with relation to the two main historic families of languages used in Europe, the Romance languages and the Germanic languages. and b) the successive importance of Britain then the USA as world powers.

There are many such languages, not just two. A language isolate is a language that is not closely related to any other language.Probably the best-known example is Basque, spoken in parts of Spain and France. Because it has no relatives, it is a family unto itself.The Korean language also has no known relatives, though many linguists have suspected that it is distantly related to Japanese.
