I don't know about Objective-C, but I'm pretty sure that C++ cannot be considered as a C dialect. It is another language.

I think another title that dialects might feel better to all involved. I don't know if dialect is quite right. I think that Java and JavaScript also derives from C syntax. They look very similar. However, dialect makes it sound like they might be inter operable. Interestingly, some C code can be compiled as C++. I have no qualms with the current text but I can see how some people would.

I am not exactly sure should Groovy be in this template. It is a descendant of Java, but I am not sure does it have a similar C structure or is it just a programming language.

I seem your point about Groovy, but I think Delphi should be on there since it is a descendant of C#.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramu50 (talkcontribs) 22:25, 29 November 2008

What the heck are you talking about? Delphi is descended from Turbo Pascal and was released in 1995. C# was first released in 2000. How can Delphi be a descendant of C#? As for Groovy, have you tried reading the WP article? It has a C/Java-like syntax, so if Java is a descendant of C, then Groovy is too.
