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 and based on the earlier Euler Algol variant. 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.
