can someone clarify what is meant by latin, germanic, nordic, gaillic, etc?   where do indians (from india) rate? Latin, Germanic, Nordic and Gaelic are ethnic and language groups of Europe. Latin was the language of the Romans. Italians, southern French, Spaniards are all mostly Latin by ethnicity.    Gaelic was the language of the Celts, most Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and many English and French are of the Gaelic/Celtic ethnicity. (your typical ethnic French are a mix of Latin/Celtic/Frankish.)     Nordic = Northern = Vikings. Nordic would be the language and ethnic group of the Viking people of Scandinavia. Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, much of northern Germany and Finland and elsewhere would be considered Nordic by ethnicity.    Some of the Germanic tribes would be the Franks, and Anglo-Saxons. Germans, Dutch, Austrians, Swiss, many Danes, Belgians etcetera...are of the Germanic ethnicity.     Now over time all of these said ethnic groups have intermixed quite a bit. Especially in central Europe in places like France and Germany, and in England as well.      As for Indians, there are generally two main ethnic types of Indians. These would consist of the northern whiter Indo-European aka Aryan Indians. And the southern darker skinned Dravidians. Northern whiter skinned fairer complected Indians are of the Indo-European aka Aryan linguistic/ethnic group. Just as the Europeans are.     Well I am not exactly a scholar on this subject or anything but hopefully that helps ya out a little.
