I'm not sure what the c with a line on it is but Estonian (või siis Eesti keel) doesnt have it.

Where do you see a 'c with a line on it'? Starting from the 'latin' branch, you end up with Estonian saying no to everything except ä and õ.

First thing left from "start here"

That's a c with a hatschek or caron and Estonian is in the 'no' branch (red).

The only source I found for the "kiillt saam" is this page. Was it meant to be Kildin Sámi?

In primarily Irish speaking places you might find TH missing from the orthography entirely.

Similarly, I wonder if ä could show up in English. Such as in diäeresis.

No. For that to be the case you'd need to start pronouncing stuff correctly.

I just use my innate knowledge of my fellow Europeans to identify the language well enough to point in the general direction which it came from, or maybe using cardinal directions like "south" or "east"

Swedish doesn't have ø ffs

Edit: sorry my bad, its a "No" link, works as expected.
