I'm not sure what answer you are expecting, and what you mean by a "European Language". English is one of the official languages of the European Union. Historically, English is classified as an Indo-European language.

English is a European language, and offshoot of the language that evolved in the British Isles from Old English, with influences from French and Latin. American languages are those of native Americans, for example: Algonquin, Nahuatl, etc.
