A computer language family tree would be an interesting project.

The only ones I've seen that look similar to a casual obverver are Pascal and
the Modula varieties. Oberon looks a bit similar, but its just different
enough that I wouldn't count it.

I don't think there are *any* true Ada-derived languages (well...perhaps VHDL,
if you count hardware design languages). Quite a few have features that were
inspired by Ada, but syntax straight out of C. C++, Java, Concurrent C, and a
host of others are in this category.
