Ken,
I don't think Basque counts as an indoeuropean language. Finnish and
Hungarian certainly aren't. I'm not sure of the status of Albanian. I
suspect it is, but is in a separate family from most familiar ones.
Then you have Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Somalian, Shona in
the UK (Harare North), and a couple of dozen of others.
