Originally posted by omgchosHistorically, English originated from several dialects, now called Old English, which were brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers beginning in the 5th century. The language was heavily influenced by the Old Norse language of Viking invaders. After the Norman conquest, Old English developed into Middle English, borrowing heavily from the Norman (Anglo-French) vocabulary and spelling conventions. Modern English developed from there and continues to adopt foreign words from a variety of languages, as well as coining new words. A significant number of English words, especially technical words, have been constructed based on roots from Latin and ancient Greek.
Dude french italian and spanish are latin rooted, our language is german rooted, or at least germanic rooted.
Nothing even about German there
Saxon maybe, in it's very origins, but not Germanic.
And trust me, after taking 5 years of goddamn French, and having basic knowlege of both German and Spanish, I know first hand how we are nowhere near like German.
WIKI BITCHES
English is a West Germanic language that originated from the Anglo-Frisian and Lower Saxon dialects brought to Britain by Germanic settlers and Roman auxiliary troops from various parts of what is now northwest Germany and the northern Netherlands[citation needed] in the 5th century. One of these Germanic tribes were the Angles,[14] who may have come from Angeln, and Bede wrote that their whole nation came to Britain,[15] leaving their former land empty. The names 'England' (or 'Aenglaland'😉 and English are derived from the name of this tribe.
