It's kind of funny how this particular group mention that the plants have names in Latin, when it is actually Swedens fault that is the case. It was an 18th century Swedish scientist, Carl von Linné, who created the scientific classification system for naming plants and animals that is still used globally today, and chose to use Latin for it.

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Even the verb comer and the noun comida which mean to eat and food in Latin languages are cognates with the verbs at koma / komið / kemr etc, and the word cara which means dear / expensive / face in Latin languages is cognate with the Germanic words kæra / kœra / keyra / care / kärlek / kjærlighet etc, while the French and Spanish words dur / duro mean something else like expensive / dear / deer / anímæl in Germanic languages and are cognates with dýr / djur / dyr / duur / dier / tier / dear / deer / dour etc and are also cognates with the Celtic words dour / dŵr etc which mean water, and the Latin words sem / se / si etc are cognates with the Germanic words sem / som etc, and en / in / em / indu are also cognates with in / í / inni / into etc, while dins de / dentro / dans / danser etc are cignates with din / dyn / dien and de / der / den and dance / danse / dansinum etc and tro / tru / tra etc which are used in Germanic languages and some of them are used in Celtic laguages as well!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Many of the verbs and nouns and adjective and prepositions are the same, but they are usually used with different meanings, and many of ths nouns and adjectives and adverbs too, for example frio / fredo / fred / refredat / froid / fría etc are cognates with fri / friða / fred / vrede etc, and caldus / calor / caliente / chaude etc are cognates with kald / kaldr / kaldur / cold / kold etc, and amar / amor are cognates with amma / ama, and avo / avó etc are cognates with afi, and madre is cognate with móðir / mother etc, and padre / patre etc are cognates with faðir / faðr etc, and hisser is cognate with hissa / heise etc, and jardin is cognate with garðr / garður / gård / garden / garten / yard etc, tiempo / temps / tempo etc are cognates with tími / tíma / time / time / tempo etc, hora / heure etc are cognates with uhr / uur / úr / ór / horen / heyra / høre etc, the Latin words gris / griggio etc are cognates with gris / grijs / grey etc, l’horloge is cognate with oorlog / orlög / horloge etc, the words logique / logica are cognates with log / lög / logi / logic etc, tons of Norse words and other Germanic words were literally modified or slightly modified from Latin words that are also used in Latin languages with different meanings usually, and most of them aren’t even a loanword, they have always existed in these languages, as the dudes that made the Germanic languages took the Latin word and slightly modified it or modified it a lot and also usually gave it a different meaning!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Another good example is, the word for to sleep / the sleep (sömna / søvn / sova / sove / somna / sofa / sömnen / somnen / sömn) and to dream / dream (draumr / draum / draumur / dreyma / draumi / droom / dromen / drømme / drömma etc) which are cognates with the Latin words dormio / dormir / dormire / dorme (to sleep) and somnium / somnus / sonno / son / sogno / soñar / sognare / sonhar / sommeil etc (to dream) etc and the Slavic words sanje / sanjati / sanjarenje / san / sen and the Polish word marzenie which is mar (the Latin / Norse word for sea) + zenie which comes from somnium / soñar / suenio, and the verbs to will / to fly / to flow / wollen / willen / vilja / flue etc are also cognates with fluir / flue / volar / volare / voglio / fluido etc, and many others too, and if one went through the dictionaries of all these languages and compared the words, one would be amazed to see how many cognates there are in the Germanic languages and Latin languages and even in the modern Celtic languages, for example, Welsh has lots of verbs that come from Spanish / Latin / Italian nouns and verbs, such as nofio / novio / nuevo / nove / nuveaux, which are also cognates with the Germanic words for new such as new / nú / nå / núna / neues etc, and even the German plural form of the verb to be sind is also cognate with Latin forms such as siamo / somos / simu / son / sont etc, and sindan (?) or something like that was also used in Old English, so if one analyzes these languages carefully and compares all the words, one will notice all the cognates and their similar word endings and some of the letter combinations which are also the same, which indicate the fact that Germanic languages do come from Latin!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Besides, words like vera / være (to be) and vita / vite / vide (to know) etc are used with different meanings in Germanic and Latin languages, though they are also obvious cognates, but in Norse and Icelandic and Norwegian etc they are both used as verbs, and in Latin languages they are used as nouns, so vera is usually related to truth / true in most Latin languages and verre means glass in French, while vita / vida means life in Latin languages, but vita / vite means to know in Germanic languages, and there are tons of other words like these as well, which are obvious cognates, but that were given different meanings in Germanic languages - also, the words for glass / ice cream etc used in Germanic languages glas / glass / glaciers etc is cognate with Latin words like glaceo / glacier / glace / glacer / glacies / glaçons / ghiaccio / ghjacciu etc, and the words fresh / ferskur / fersk / fersken / färsk / vars / frësch / frisk / frisch / värske / fris / vers / farsk / ffres / friss etc are cognates with the Latin words fresc / fraîche / frais / frescu / fresco / fresca / frêsa etc!

English was a germanic language. Then they were conquered by french speaking dudes, who took over all the nobility positions in england. For centuries, there was a french speaking nobility and a germanic speaking peasantry. Then the king of england ended up being the rightful heir of the crown of France by right of succession (the deceased king of france had no son), and other contenders used the fact that he was king of a foreign country to discard him (despite the fact that he was a french speaker of french culture with lands in France). After about 70 years into the war of succession (the famous 100 years wars, which lasted actually 116 years), the english king, in a move to unify his land against the french forces) decided to separate from the french culture and established english as the official language of england, which led to noble men speaking some sort of creole, a weird mix of germanic and french, which we know today as modern english. Hence why the english often has two words to say the same thing. And why english speakers see the french with this feminine sophisticated elite stereotype. For example, look at the word cow. The animal itself is named after the germanic word, because that was the word peasants used. But once a meat on the plate of the noblemen, it is a beef (from the french boeuf). Same for the mutton (mouton in french)/sheep (german), or pork(french)/pig(german) Or overall complex/sophisticated words. Clever vs Intelligent Strength vs Force office vs bureau cooking vs cuisine etc... This heritage had a direct influence in politics, economics and law related vocabulary, like money, treasury, exchequer, commerce, finance, tax, liberalism, capitalism, materialism, nationalism, plebiscite, coup d'état, regime, sovereignty, state, administration, federal, bureaucracy, constitution, jurisdiction, district, justice, judge, jury, attorney, court, case, attaché, chargé d'affaires, envoy, embassy, chancery, diplomacy, démarche, communiqué, aide-mémoire, détente, entente, rapprochement, accord, treaty, alliance, passport or protocol. On the folkloric side, a lot was taken from that time from the french (cockatrice, dragon, griffin, hippogriff, phoenix, wyvern for mythological beast, or even exotic for the time like lion, leopard, antelope, gazelle, giraffe, camel, zebu, elephant, baboon, macaque, mouflon, dolphin, ocelot, ostrich, chameleon). And France having had an influencial military history, a ton of war related words, like accoutrements, aide-de-camp, army, artillery, battalion, bivouac, brigade, camouflage, carabineer, cavalry, cordon sanitaire, corps, corvette, dragoon, espionage, esprit de corps, état major, fusilier, grenadier, guard, hors-de-combat, infantry, latrine, legionnaire, logistics, matériel, marine, morale, musketeer, officer, pistol, platoon, reconnaissance/reconnoitre, regiment, rendezvous, siege, soldier, sortie, squad, squadron, surrender, surveillance, terrain, troop or volley.

[@littlerave86]

I was about to write pretty much the same, thankfully I checked the comments and saved myself the effort. One thing, though: both "office" and "bureau" are French words. ;) Even in German we've taken over the French word, Büro.

English is a 100% Germanic languages with 100% Germanic word endings and sound and letter combinations, pfff - and Icelandic also has the word spítal which is cognate with hospital! Also, the misused big superiority term king must be edited out, all dudes are the exact opposite of such terms - the pure protectors aka the alphas are the only king / prince / lord etc, and I am The Only Queen / Goddess / Princess / Lady / Star etc aka the superior / pure being! And Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, as do most other European languages, so most words have always been cognates, since the languages were made by their creators, it’s just that they are usually used with different meanings and many of them were modified a lot and look like a complete different word!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Germanic languages literally come directly from Latin, so they have always had mostly words from Latin, it’s just that they are usually used with different meanings and many of them were modified a lot by the creator of each Germanic language, which is why the avrg eye cannot easily spot the similarities - most words in these languages share the same root words, including the verbs that are used the most and many of the nouns and adjectives and prepositions etc, and also, including the words that are made of parts from different Latin words, and all the word endings and letter combinations from Latin languages are also used in Germanic languages, even though they are used in different ways and in different quantities, but Germanic languages also have very unique extra word endings and letter combinations that don’t exist in other languages, at least not in many words and maybe just in a few random words, as the dude that created Proto Germanic and the dude that created Norse had a lot of natural artistic talent, so they created real works of art with very different aspect and many new words by using a Latin base aka modifying Latin words as well as creating many new words, and English and Dutch and German and Swedish also have more newer words from Latin, which are mostly international words and technical words, but English has more Latin words than any other language, including all the technical terms and the medical terms and the 9 million scientific names of plants and animals, which are all used in English, and most of the technical and medical terms were adapted to English pronunciation and English spelling rules, so they became an English / Germanic word, and English is a 100% Germanic languages which looks and sounds Germanic as the verbs have the typical Germanic word endings have the typical Germanic noun endings, and the adverbs and adjectives too, and these are the things that make a language what it is, not where its vocabulary was directly modified from, things such as word endings and letter combinations and sounds and pronunciation rules and sound patterns etc determine what type of language a language is!

[@peabody1976]

The word "animal" is from Latin. But English has a word related to German "Tier" and Swedish "djur": "deer". In English's case, it came to mean a specific type of living creature. English was changed (as Elysa correctly stated) by the Norman Conquest of Britain in 1066, which make English as the language of government and the upper classes unused and relegated only to the common people, which meant that there are several instances where the English/Germanic word was used in a certain context while the French/Romance word was used in another for the same items (ex: kingly vs. royal; cow vs. beef; shirt vs. blouse). And then later Latin and Greek were used for words of science, art, philosophy. It's why the percentage of words from a Romance origin is so high. But other languages had changes too: Spanish was influenced by Germanic languages, Greek, and notably Arabic. Swedish was influenced by Latin, French and German. (Modern) Italian was influenced by French and Spanish. German was influenced by Dutch, French, and Latin. French itself is a mirror of sorts to English: it was a Romance language built on a lot of Germanic words, which ironically then entered English (English words "blue" and "hate" are both from French, but both ultimately of Germanic origin).

[@TuaTeMauAkauAtea]

English was Germanic, who Hellenized English, who Latinized English and took it from the Germanic origin and from Proto-Germanic, it was French in everything, it was French who linked English to Proto-Hellenic and Proto-Italic, English is a mixture and today, yesterday and the day before yesterday is Romanesque and Neo-Hellenic precisely because of the French Norman conquest and domination. The only thing that hasn't changed in English is its origin in Kurganian, in the European linguistic,proto-Indo-European that's all, the rest changed everything in grammar, psychology, logic, linguistics and literature of English everything changed rules and structures of the language were destroyed and remade by the French several times. The English etymological dictionary and a global linguistic carnival do not deceive in this.

The word for animal in German and Swedish are actually related Tier and Djur, cognate with English Deer The thing of English is that it has many cognates with the other Germanic language, but many of these words were replaced by Latin words, not only formal words, but also basic, like “art, animal, color, voice, family, people, languages” “craft, deer, hue, steven, kin, folks, tongues”

[@stevetalkstoomuch]

The modern English word "deer" used to, in Old English, refer to all animals. Then it became specific to that animal in Middle English. So it was cognate with Tier in German and Djur in Swedish. I'm guessing "animal" came with the French in 1066. The French also brought different words for animals, which English now uses as the meat from those animals - pig/swine vs pork, sheep vs mutton, cow vs beef.

[@Athena-97]

My knowledge of Romance and Germanic philology is itching to clarify some things, like the first personal pronoun in the Romance languages, which all derive from latin "Ego" (I'm italian). In italian, if I remember correctly, the process was: Ego-> Eo-> Io Sometimes, the words between two sister languages are different because they also had another language which either formed the linguistic base of the community, or it coexisted with the more prestigious one. Or, it may be that the two languages chose different words from the same semantic context: for example, we Italians took, through french's influence, the latin verb "MANDUCARE" which meant "to chew". Through different delevopmental processes, it became "mangiare" in italian and "manger" in French, with the new meaning of "to eat" because, logically speaking for the ancients, if you chew something it's because you want to eat it. The Spanish chose the original latin verb for "To eat" which is "EDERE" and added a preposition to it "COMEDERE", which later became "comer" still with the meaning of "to eat". We italians still have relics of this verb EDERE in the form of adjectives such as "edibile" which means that it can be eated. This adjective is also present in english as "edible" but it sounds really posh, formal, and almost certainly it's a borrowed french term, as are all the words that end in -ble.

The lack of historical knowledge from nearly everywhere is disappointing, but I think that is largely the fault of how many education systems seek to teach history. History classes, at least for me and everyone I have ever heard from - both personally and online - focus way to much on dates not enough on the relationships between events, both sequential and concurrent, that could help provide a wider context and a more useful understanding of the world in general. I learned history in the United States, and the majority of what it covered was U.S. "history", and the bits of French, Spanish, and English history necessary to avoid a biblical style "In the begin was Plymouth rock, and there were settlers there, and they led a campaign of massacre, and expansion, and slavery until they built a Navy, at which point they discovered others in the world over who couldn't speak English".

Many languages evolved from different dialects of PIE that diverged from each other over time, and one of them was Proto-Germanic (from which English, Scots, West Frisian, North Frisian, Saterland Frisian, Low Saxon, Dutch, Afrikaans, Limburgish, German, Luxembourgish, Yiddish, Danish, Swedish, Elfdalian, Norwegian, Faroese, and Icelandic are descended) and another one of them was Proto-Italic (from which Latin and the Romance languages are descended).

Dutch is a direct descendant of Old Frankish. In fact, Old Dutch practically is Old Frankish. French is a langue d'oïl, which are basically languages spoken in the north of France (and south of Belgium), which have adopted a lot of Germanic influences. The further north you go (e.g. Walloon, Champenois...), the more Germanic they are. These are basically Gallo-Roman Vulgar Latin languages that were under the influence of a Frankish superstrate. These influences happened a long time ago, though, and so most of these words sound thoroughly French. Ironically, sometimes Dutch, but also English, have (re-)adopted these words too (e.g. guard). German is a bit more complicated. You have two major types of German. Low and High German. The standardised German we all know is a version of High German. Initially, the West-Germanic languages were divided in 3 major dialect groups; Istvaeonic, Ingvaeonic and Irminonic. Dutch/Frankish developped from the Istavaeonic group and English and Low German from the Ingvaeonic group. High German is a mix of Istaveonic (incl. Frankish) and Irminonic dialects that underwent the "High German Consonant Shift" (which made these dialects/languages quite distinct). In a sense, Dutch and English are also "Low German" languages; since they didn't undergo this consonant shift either. Due to this shift, Low German, Dutch and English have a higher degree of mutual intelligibility. These languages also influenced one another. For example, Saxon pirates (Ingvaeonic) would raid the coasts of the Low Countries and influence the local Frankish dialects (coastal Dutch dialects have more Ingvaeonic influences), but also through trade and such. Dutch would also go on to adopt a lot of French - and English - words later on. This through the dominance of the French language among the nobility as well as due to the leading role these languages had during the Industrial Revolution (so a lot of words relating to the industrial revolution will have French/English origin). Belgian Dutch tends to have even more French influences; obviously due to the proximity, but also the fact that France was pretty keen to expand its border into the Low Countries (Rhine as a natural border + very valuable lands) and as such these lands saw a lot more French influence/repression (in fact, the language border once stretched south of Calais). Obviously there's also Latin, which impacted German, English and Dutch quite a bit. (Ecclesiastical) Latin was/is the language of the Catholic Church, but also used to be the language of scholars throughout the Middle Ages.

I'm german and study English Literature and Culture partially in University. How the modern English language came to be in a nutshell: Celts on the British Isles, Romans invade, bring Latin, leave after about 350 years cause fall of Rome. Germanic tribes come to British Isles from northern Germany and Denmark, bring Germanic to the Celtic Latin language use which turns into Old English (very similar to modern German in structure and pronunciation). Vikings come to British Isles, bring Old Norse (huge influence on the vocabulary e.g. take, sky, window, milk, they/them,...). In the year 1066 Normans (Northern France) invade and win against the King. French becomes language of the high and educated class and Old English remains the language of the people (as perfectly described by MN-vz8qm in this comment section, it however is not very german anymore due to all the influence of other languages. Still a germanic language tho). War with France, now Middle English is the language of all on the British Isles. Great Vowel Shift happens, English language turns from a synthetic language to an analytic language (big change in grammar and syntax). 1476 William Caxton brings Printing Press to Britain, the language becomes more united, as it was more a cluster of different ways of spelling and pronounciating all over the Isles. So basically, English is a mash up of a few different languages from different regions but the Germanic language had the most influence. Thank you for reading!! Hope I could help and if I got anything wrong, please feel free to correct me or add additional information

@kabi_net Search the archeology and paleontology and anthropology studies of V Gaffney, T Envers, M Thomas especially M Thomas these archeologists paleontologists studied the ruins of Stonehenge and its treasures and artifacts and the ruins the cemeteries and tombs of Richard the Lionheart and of their armies in England and the United Kingdom all from there in central England going north to Scotland and then south to Cornwall and Mercia, in these ruins these explorers discovered in the lost and fossilized artifacts, many written languages Anatolian, Berber, Iberian, Celtic, Germanic, but they noticed something special, there were a lot of inscriptions and symbols in Greek, French and Norman in other languages, they understood after tests, comparisons, analyzes and studies and debates, English had 4 linguistic and cultural phases, of these 4 phases, 2 phases They are heavily Greek and Latin, which dates back to the Roman period, then this phase returns with Greek and Latin, but now added to Parisian French and Norman, which corresponds to French Norman domination, which is why English in archeology is classified as neo-Hellenic, neo-Latin and Romanesque, because of these 2 phases, the myth, the legend the tale the fallacy of Germanic English never existed the French destroyed all Germanicity of English but they were wise they did not want to be revolutionaries they preserved 15% of Germanic vocabulary to lead a population with a Celtic, Iberian and Germanic base, they did this linguistic and political trick, and that is why the etymological bases of English are Proto Indo European, Proto Hellenic and Proto Italic today. The French destroyed English's link with Anglo Saxon, Old Norse, Common Germanic and Proto Germanic without mercy for anything, it was a glottocide indeed. There is no longer this impasse of what is the real linguistic family of English, because of the Norman and Parisian will and imposition, English is Romanesque without crying, a scream without escape to this day. Those who say this are the universities of Cambridge and Oxford, not me and no one else. The brains of Anglophony in the United Kingdom, Anglophones and foreigners have to learn this painful truth once and for all, go back to school, shut up, learn the truth and leave the lies aside and that includes the Korean bros who own the channel. This is the truth that some neo-Nazi racists liars in the Anglophone world hide but without success the information is public and there is no turning back, it is irrefutable.

It's a bit of a shame they didn't talk about the word "pork." It comes into English from French, while the corresponding live animal is still referred to by a the Germanic word "pig." This pattern is true for most forms of meat and livestock in English (e.g. "beef" is French, but "cow" is Germanic). But this particular case is doubly interesting because pork can also be accurately described by the two-word phrase "swine flesh," and the single German word for "pork" happens to be a suspiciously similar "Schweinefleisch."

Swedish is a Germanic language, so it shares the same base as German. However, it is also a Scandinavian language, which is more of a relative to German. Similar, but yet quite different. Swedish developed from Proto-Norse, together with Danish and Norwegian, and thus these languages are mutually intelligible. Swedish basically borrowed a lot of words from the places that pioneered certain things - so a lot of military terms, and construction/work terms, where imported from Germany during the 1600's. Then a lot of cultural influences and words came from France during the 1700's. Latin terms basically influenced all European languages to some degree. So, in written form, Swedish might make more sense for a German person, than Danish/Norwegian, just based on choice of words used in each sentence.

The English language is in its roots a west Germanic language that completely changed its grammar structure to be of Scandinavian origin during the Viking invasion and Scandinavian rule (and of course have some loan words from Scandinavian languages) . That is why English and Scandinavian grammar is so similar. Then came the Norman Conquest and English adopted a shit load of words of French and Latin origin. So English language is a mixture of many different influences to the British Isles.

The french and Italian flags were upsidedown. Also, yes, English comes a lot from French because of William of Normandy who basically became the king of England, and so did his descendents after him, and so (old) French became the main language there, making the already existing English language the people's language while french became the language of learned people. That's why there are 2 different ways to say the same thing in English: one that comes from French and is considered more elevated than the other one. Example: an issue/a problem (from French "problème"), to fix/to repair (from French "réparer"), a sheep/some mutton (from French "mouton", because food 😅) The same way "hospital" comes from old French "hospital", which is now "hôpital" because evolution but we still say "hospitalité" (hospitality)

It's strange how many ordinary English words are Germanic in origin, while the "fancy" words like technical, scientific and words you are more likely to find in books are mostly Latin and Greek in origin. Just like the German word for animal "tier," the swedish word "djur" (spelled similar, but sounds quite differently) - I wonder if it's related to the English word "deer"? You can usually find all the most common (and therefor the oldest) of English words have cognates in the other Germanic languages - usually the Nordic ones - which are spelled and/or sound very similar. Here are just a couple: English, German, Swedish: blood, Blut, blod. Arm, arm, arm. Foot, fuss, fot. But there are hundreds and hundreds. But, actually, when you go even further back in time, you will find that many of the old Germanic words come from the same roots as the Latin and/or Greek words did - whether that is because the Germanic people got some of their words from the southern people's or if it's that both got their languages from the same Indo-European roots, I think might be different from word to word. For instance, it's not difficult to see the similar origins of the words "foot" and Latin "ped". So while at first site, the Romance and Germanic languages may appear very different, they aren't so different when you look a bit closer.

Old English was a purely Germanic language. But then came the Vikings with a very similar language and then Romanized Germanic (1066) and the language became grammatically simpler and simpler so that everyone could understand each other. That's what we love today. Ultimately, a language with a lot of Germanic grammar and the whole Romanized vocabulary, which made it an easy to learn Creole language, unfortunately the pronunciation was never properly adapted to the Latin script, so it's quite confusing.

Germanic languages literally come directly from Latin, so they have always had mostly words from Latin, it’s just that they are usually used with different meanings and many of them were modified a lot by the creator of each Germanic language, which is why the avrg eye cannot easily spot the similarities - most words in these languages share the same root words, including the verbs that are used the most and many of the nouns and adjectives and prepositions etc, and also, including the words that are made of parts from different Latin words, and all the word endings and letter combinations from Latin languages are also used in Germanic languages, even though they are used in different ways and in different quantities, but Germanic languages also have very unique extra word endings and letter combinations that don’t exist in other languages, at least not in many words and maybe just in a few random words, as the dude that created Proto Germanic and the dude that created Norse had a lot of natural artistic talent, so they created real works of art with very different aspect and many new words by using a Latin base aka modifying Latin words as well as creating many new words, and English and Dutch and German and Swedish also have more newer words from Latin, which are mostly international words and technical words, but English has more Latin words than any other language, including all the technical terms and the medical terms and the 9 million scientific names of plants and animals, which are all used in English, and most of the technical and medical terms were adapted to English pronunciation and English spelling rules, so they became an English / Germanic word, and English is a 100% Germanic languages which looks and sounds Germanic as the verbs have the typical Germanic word endings have the typical Germanic noun endings, and the adverbs and adjectives too, and these are the things that make a language what it is, not where its vocabulary was directly modified from, things such as word endings and letter combinations and sounds and pronunciation rules and sound patterns etc determine what type of language a language is!

Romanian is like English because it has different influences. Latin, Slavic and a bit of Turkish. Also it is most similar to French followed by Italian. The grammar is complicated like French.

[@TuaTeMauAkauAtea]

Your comparison is interesting and beautiful but there is a painting and detail that you are not aware of, English was forced to be Romance and in fact it is 60% to 70% of it in grammar and linguistics, they fully reveal this but it was forced by the French, Romanian is ROMANIC and Neolatin to this time this day cos destroys the Turkish, Slavic and Magyar terms in its speech, many do not exist, they have been abolished and crossed out, they look similar but have a heavy detail of the two. Romanian is closer to Latin and even synthetic grammatical cases of it have been preserved, English in vainly tries to germanize Latin in vain, the result is that it becomes more Romanesque. This is the infinite spiritual difference between English and Romanian the first and an assimilated adopted son the other and a natural son and heir in fact and loyal beyond belief and both today are very Romanesque.

[@utha2665]

English is really a hybrid of Germanic and Romance languages with a little bit of old Norse thrown in as well. So it's not surprising there are similarities with all the nationalities represented. Hospital has it's origins in Latin originally as Hospes which evolved in to hospitum which was a lodging for guests. It then found it's way into old French as hospitale with the same meaning. In the 14th century, hospitale entered middle English becoming hospital and initially referring to shelters for travelers and pilgrims. Gradually, the meaning shifted to encompass facilities specifically dedicated to caring for the sick and injured. Immigration has Latin roots and both Romance and Germanic languages borrowed heavily from it. It's a relatively new word which was first used in the early 17th century.

[@johnnorthtribe]

Basically the whole grammar structure in modern English language is of Norse origin. So the Norse did change English a lot as well.

[@herrbonk3635]

True, it's not surprising, *but* 1. English is not much more of a "hybrid" than (say) Swedish. The latter also got thousands of French loans, but uses a pure germanic syntax. Just like English. 2. Old Norse was also germanic! One of the first germanic languages... 3. Old Norse of the 800s was still similar to the Old English that Scandinavians/northern Germans (Jutes, Angles, Saxons) brought to the british isles in the 400s. 4. So these two germanic dialects mixed naturally in the 800s AD and onwards, i.e. during the Danelaw in England, and formed the basis for Middle English. 5. After the invasion in 1066, the Normans supressed Middle English for some 300 years. 6. English regained prestige in the 1400s and 1500s, in the transition to Early Modern English (with lots of Norman French terms added).

One might think that because more of English is Latin (French) based words, that English should be categorized as a Romance language, However... the Majority of commonly used words are Germanic. So, when you actually speak English, you use a lot more German based words than French.

[@miguelm.a7462]

The reason is not that, really the reason are phonology, and grammar, that is completely Germanic, but Romanian is a Romance language, but the vocabulary is mostly slavic, the Majority of commonly used words are a mix and a lot of words that you use daily came from latin or greek, is not just becouse of scientific names, like day, actually, normal, impressive, incredible, money, impossible, real, person, art, music, personality, problem, interest, generally, public, final, region, explain, Information, act, air, culture, station, space, create, invent, medicine, hospital, recommend, mental, mountain, face, control, paper, curious, influence, special, student, police, sens, lents, vent, time, wine, gain, victory, triumph, access, security, clear, negative, vengeance, vanish, Equal, Religion, so those are daily use, so I can keep with a lot of basic english, words that came from latin and Greek

@@FrozenMermaid666 Please don't post things that are not factually correct, it might mislead people. Germanic languages most certainly do NOT come directly from Latin, they fall under separate branches on the Proto-Indo-European language tree (Italic branch and Germanic branch) Latin did influence Germanic languages a lot, but they do not come from Latin, the Romance languages do though. And just a little clarification on the part where you describe technical, medical and similar terms in Latin entering languages - that didn't happen until much later when most sciences started "blooming" freely and the languages already formed in the somewhat modern sense we have them today (~17th century). That's why even Romance languages adopted Latin words even though they already had words that were derived directly from the same same Latin original, the best example for that are the pair words in French. But all that and the Latin influence in general has nothing to do with what branch a language family falls under And also, talking about a "creator" of the different languages is just so extremely wrong on so many levels. That could be said only for Esperanto and similar plan-languages. But there was not just 1 person that decided to make a language at one point. Languages were spoken by a group of people and passed down, with each group's language changing with time and branching out in different directions under different circumstances. Like, does that make sense to you, that a different "creator" made each of the languages and all other people in that region just accepted that and started speaking the language that one dude made? xD If it were to work that way, nobody would be speaking similar languages at all, we'd just have random ones everywhere

[@FrozenMermaid666]

What ns, all I said is a fact, and each language was made by one dude, not by the ones made to speak that language, and the dude that made Proto Germanic didn’t even know that Proto European existed, only ppl in modern times know, as it’s been reconstructed recently, duh, and Italic languages come from Latin, not the other way around - Proto Germanic was made directly from Latin, which is why it has the same verbs and the same word endings such as um / as / es etc which are typical Latin word endings, each language creator used the languages that were closest to him as an inspiration when creating a new language, and Latin was the biggest direct influencer of European languages, since it has a very smooth design and is a refined language, so language creators with talent immediately knew that they could make real gorgeous languages by using Latin as a base!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Indo languages are not similar to European languages in any way, Proto European is an European language made by a Germanic dude and it is the first language ever made that was created from scratch a long time ago, and languages that were made 2 thousand years ago were NOT in direct contact with Proto European, only ppl nowadays know it even existed as it was reconstructed recently, and those classification are incorrect and aren’t based on fact and logic - Germanic languages and most other European languages were directly influenced by Latin, since Latin was the big language that existed around that time and that their creators used as a base, and Italian-based languages come from Latin, it’s not Latin that comes from them, Itaic or Italian-based languages are a more recent creation, wheats Ancient Latin was the first Latin language, and Latin languages aren’t Romance at all, it’s Icelandic / Dutch / Norse that are the Romance languages which actually sound romantic and hot!

keep in mind that also French is a partly Germanized Vulgar Latin language which is the reason why it sounds so different (starts already with the Germanic name which came from the Germanic Frankish Empire - France is just the rest of the 'Western' part (Germany kind of the Eastern part). French has like 10-15% Germanic roots. Similar but to a lower extend this is also true for Spanish (which also has many Germanic words). German and other Germanic languages have on the other hand (especially also later due to the enlighten time/science which chooses to use Latin/Greek) a huge influx of Latin/Greek words, so you have in reality a lot of mixed languages which differ rather from its bases than being 100% this or that. Keep also in mind that Medieval Latin was heavily influenced from Germanic languages (kind of Germanized Vulgar Latin) and this is the reason why you have for instance the letter 'W' and so on. You had in classic Latin also no 'U' (it was written as a 'V' but spoken mostly like an U but in some contexts like a sharp 'F' or 'V' (in Germanic pronunciations). This means AUGUSTUS was written 'AVGVSTVS' in classic Latin. The changes later are also the reason why English uses 'double-U' to describe the Germanic letter 'W' (because u could see it as two V (old U spoken)) or like French (double-V - seen the same as two V) or mixed like in German on one hand spoken like you start W words (also in English!) like 'Wald/wood' or 'Welle/Wave' etc. - English could chose to change the doubleU to the sound of how it is spoken nowadays (which is like most of their letters are spoken anyway) which makes then also the German car brands like BMW or VW sound more like German/European. Btw, Slavic languages also integrated some new letters to the classic Latin alphabet (which btw, is based on one old Greek alphabet) from old Slavic roots just like Germanic tribes/dynasties did, because some stuff was missed (the classic Latin Alphabet had just 23 letters) - and also integrated more additional letters like the Germanic languages 'Umlaute like ä, ö, ü' or more Northern like 'bröd' (for bread or German Brot) ...

Assimilate and learn these details too: Your speech is very beautiful, but precisely because French is Romance, Celtic, Neo-Latin and Neo-Greek, which will make English Romance too. Now if French wanted to have been Germanic then it would be a different story, English would be Germanic, and even Italy, Spain and Eastern Europe were speaking Germanic languages due to the weight of French, but precisely because French became neo-Latin and Romance than Latin and Greek, taken by the French to the north and east of Europe, will expand the influences of the Romance languages in Europe and the language and culture most captured by the French and precisely the English. And the Neo-Latin alphabet is a construction agreed and built by Celtic, Romance, Slavic and Germanic nations with its current 26 flag letters today. The regional letters of each language are within the grammar of each language studied.

@@SinilkMudilaSama what happens now during the globalization is (regarding the Germanic and Romance sphere) a new remix of the same (with a bit new). The Romance languages get due to English more and more Germanized words in while the Latin based part of English infiltrates the Germanic based languages more than it already exists (for instance in the scientific or higher educated contexts). Funny is if Latin words substitutese other Latin/French words. France tries to keep for instance ordinateur for computer but it is absolutely clear that 'computer' will win. Similar situation in Germany. You have some ppl complaining about Anglizism (which is a bit stupid, since many have to do with even older German) e.g. in cases like 'download' (even the Germans who use a more Deutsch/modern German word 'herunterladen' have already 'load' and 'laden' (both are cognates) in it anyway, but such ppl even dont recognize that.
