Engrg.; Dept. of Civ. Serial Information: Journal of the Construction Division, 1982, Vol. 108, Issue 4, Pg. Abstract: Inflation has become a chronic problem whose effects permeate the entire construction industry. Owners are not only paying for the increased costs of facilities and capital but also for premiums on construction prices because of the uncertainties of inflation and its side effects. Contractors are faced with severe uncertainty in bidding and financing work on projects.
The Indo-European language family has four main living branches: Indo-Iranian, Balto-Slavic, Germanic, and Italic.
Both Polish and Lithuanian are Indo-European languages, but so are Sanskrit, Norwegian, Portuguese, English and a whole bunch of other languages too. Polish belongs to the Slavic branch, as does e.g. Russian, Bulgarian, Slovak and several more. Lithuanian and Latvian are the only languages in the Baltic group of the Indo-European languages, and Lithuanian is generally considered to be the Indo-European language with the most ancient traits. Lithuanian and Latvian are not mutually understandable.
