http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Average_European
"A, B, and C" is contrasted with "A and B and C", which is the construction in 
Lojban. SAE languages have most of these properties, but not necessarily all. 
English lacks the dative external possessor, but both French and Spanish have 
it (including when the possessor is the same as the subject, e.g. "je me lave 
les mains"). English also, unlike German, French, and Spanish, uses the 
reflexive also as an intensifier.
