Indeed, they are.

I'm going to finish transcribing some stuff here and I'll show you some interesting evidence afterwards

Why Spanish, English, Hindi, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, German, Marathi, French, Italian, Punjabi and Urdu are related

For simplicity's sake, I'm going to pick Sanskrit (from which Hindi, Marathi have evolved) and Latin (from which Portuguese, French, ... have evolved). I'll also try to avoid any kind of jargon and stuff - if it does sound complicated, though, do tell me, and I'll try to make myself clearer

Firstly, it's not rare for words with similar meaning to resemble one another. For example "Mirar" in Spanish means "to look", and so does the verb "Miru" in Japanese. However, once you analyse the languages more carefully, you can't see that happening systematically.

However, when you have entire systems that resemble one another, then you probably something going on. When you compare Sanskrit and Latin numbers, for example, you don't need to be a linguist to notice something strikingly similar between the two languages:

	Latin Numbers	Sanskrit Numbers
1	unus	�ka
2	duo	dv�
3	tres	tr�
4	quattuor	cat�r
5	quinque	pa�ca
6	sex	ṣ�ṣ
7	septem	sapt�
8	octo	aṣṭ�
9	novem	n�va
10	decem	d�śa

The numbers 2,3,4,7 and 9 are almost identical and, when there are more differences, linguists can count on a bunch of rules that explain how the sounds changed in each of these languages. Notice, for example, how the sound "e" in Latin often becomes "a" in Sanskrit.

However, that's not enough. If two languages are really genetically related (yup, that's the terminology), the grammar must also show some common traces. And, once again, you've got that: Words both in Sanskrit and Latin change according to their function in a sentence. For example, if you a rose is the subject of a sentence, in Latin, you say "Rosa". If it's the object, you say "Rosam". If something belongs to the god damn rose, you say "Rosae". And, this is the cool thing about Latin and Sanskrit. The way they do that is quite similar, and I'm adding Greek this time, just so you can understand how the changes "flow" accross languages:

Latin	Greek	Sanskrit
Genus	Genos	Ganas
Generis	Geneos	Ganasas
Genere	Genei	Ganasi
Genera	Genea	Ganasu
Generum	Geneon	Ganasam

Did you find the common pattern? Well, let's consider "ganas, ganasas,..." the most conservative form. There's some evidence that intervocalic "s" fell in old Greek, and it became "r" in Latin. If you turn things back to what they probably were like, the similarities become even more obvious:

"Old" Latin	"Old" Greek	Sanskrit
Genus	Genos	Ganas
Genesis	Genesos	Ganasas
Genese	Genesi	Ganasi
Genesa	Genesa	Ganasu
Genesum	Geneson	Ganasam

All these 3 languages treat their nouns the same way, and sound too much alike. You can assume that, if that's the case, they probably have a common ancestor (just like two brothers have the same parents). And, upon further inspection, that is the case.

So that's briefly how we know that Spanish, English, Hindi, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, German, Marathi, French, Italian, Punjabi and Urdu are all related

vino, wine in spanish, is also wine in russian.

at least according to a clockwork orange

unf unf unf sounds the same no matter what language you speak
