How does Modula-2 fit into the language zoo?

A. It is a descendent of Pascal and Modula, and one predecessor of Modula-2+, Modula-2*, Modula-3, Oberon, Oberon-2, and various object oriented versions of these. The latter languages are not replacements for Modula-2, merely later notations in the same family, having strengths and weaknesses of their own. Modula-2 is sometimes classified with Ada and C++ as the trio of modern languages in view of their expressive power. Modula-2 is smaller and more readable than either.
