> Pascal syntax belongs to C family of language.

It can't possibly, seeing how it predates C.

There are specific differences that set them apart, too. For example, the fact that Pascal has statement separators rather than statement terminators (and using a separator in a terminal position is usually an error, e.g. before "else").

Pascal rather belongs to the Algol family of languages, together with C. Algol-60 is where "begin" and "end" come from.
