ALGOL 60
Description
Historically important programming language, descendants include Pascal, C, C++, Modula-2, BCPL, PL/I, Oberon, Java, Simula and Smalltalk
Algol-W
By now mostly forgotten, but at the time a superior implementation of ALGOL available for the IBM System 360. Source code for the Stanford distribution can be found here
Other variations of the language include the Japanese ALGOL-N a simplified subset of Algol-68 that was quite popular in Asia in the 1970's in particular on Japanese computer hardware.
