Generational list of programming languages

Here, a genealogy of programming languages is shown. Languages are categorized under the ancestor language with the strongest influence. Of course, any such categorization has a large arbitrary element, since programming languages often incorporate major ideas from multiple sources.

Other lists of programming languages are:

1. Alphabetical
2. Categorical
3. Chronological
4. Generational
