I stumble across this site after a discussion at lunch today with a couple of co-workers on how mutually inteligible Italian was with Spanish. The site really wasn't what I was looking for but it is extremely interesting and a great deal of work has gone into the whole project.
Here is the main site. Apparently this is something that grew from research by some language post graduates. The goal of the site is a "Modern Indo-European" language.

Here is just one of the links I found that I found quite interesting. The page lists the Schleicher Fable in a number of derived Proto-Languages.

I was fairly amazed at how close some of the language constructs were to each other. Especially Proto-Italic and Proto-Celtic. It lends some credence to Maciamo's suggestion that Latin was adopted and incorporated by the Celtic speaking tribes into their languages to produce the modern Romance languages.
I have a feeling that I will spend a fairly large amount of time on this site.
