Sorry about that. Beyond my control -- this LucidChart tool is just

Well, yes, but they were not Wirth projects, or at least not Wirth-led

Basic to C that to include all the offspring of Algol would include
</div>
<div>
almost every programming language there is except Lisp and Fortran.

it inherits

from plain old Oberon, Object-Oberon and Oberon-XSC (this was a conjoined
