English is a germanic language

that's because Anglos are incapable of saying 'r' like the rest of us
we either use a trilled r (like Spanish) or a uvular throaty r (like French or German)
only English and Faroese chew the R like retards

There is no such thing as 'retarded' posts

Wow, you speak really good English!

>French
>Germanic language

did I say that?
quote me exactly where I say that French is Germanic and I'll anhero on camera, you lying cunt
fuck off nigger

>French is Germanic
right there senpai.

>English doesn't sound barbaric like ugly germanic languages
>blah blah French
Context is king, nigger

It's actually pretty easy to track the origins of words through common roots and relations, like how they the word "hey" or "house" is found in all germanic languages but not in the slavic or romance ones :D

English has its roots in germanic but has been heavily, probably the most of all the germanic we know today by the romance, such as latin and french. Mostly explained due to britain actually being a roman province unlike other germanic countries and heavy influence from having lots of noble ties with France during the middle ages. Hope that helps friend and fellow Veeky Forumstorian :)

French is literally a mix of vulgar latin and frankish.

hahah very clever
I bet you're from WEssex, you useless cocksucker
you live at home and fap to anime and is clever online
what a life you must live
fucking helll
I wish I could be like you
a total loser
a literal nobody with pasty white skin and a superiority complex that borders on the psychotic

England is DEAD
and I celebrate it every day
I hope your female relative is raped by a Pakki

Your mom is a mix of vulgar latin and frankish.

you probably grew up with 1 parent

Your mom probably grew up with 1 parent.

rekt!

thats pure wishful thinking. If you read the formation of english you'd know it sounded exquisitely latin. In early modern english

proxy fag (the reason it took you so long to respond

wait anglo-saxon sounded french?

English is a people. Their queen is German.

>anglo-saxon
the language of english, if you read my post.

>English is a people
no they're not. The people of Eng are anglo-saxons and welsh et al

Actually she is Reptilian.

Old English is Anglo-Saxon you dumb fuck! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English

Soon dead. Thank god.
German cunt whore.

English- Mother, father, school
Dutch- Moeder, vader, school
German- Mutter, vater, schule

French- Mère, père, école

No idea what else it should be.

You now realise that George V, Willy and Nicky were cousins

school is a latin word. comes from scola. northcucks didn't about it till they met the medcucks.

>being this triggered over english people

You realize now that Willy spoke better English than George V.

Those all have similar roots, try colours next time. It's not like a language group is defined by their grammar anyway

Wait, what?

Imagine being an obnoxious French cunt, you lost your empire, same like the Brits. But unlike the damn Brits you also lost all cultural relevancy and have to learn their Germanic language in school like everybody else on the planet.

>But unlike the damn Brits you also lost all cultural relevancy
>unlike the Brits
>laughing bald eagle.jpg

dumb frogposter

Offcourse they have similar roots, they're all PIE. The differences between latin and germanic is clearly visible.

Schola means group and usually meant a military unit. It had nothing to do with what we now call school.

>muh latin and greek roots means dat english is a roman

Germanic Old English will always be superior to shitty French-deriving impure Middle English.

What was before Old English?

Keep calm and laugh at them

Nah, Middle English is aesthetic as fuck
meanwhile Old English just attracts LARPers

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingvaeonic_languages

Proto-West-Germanic, and then Proto-Germanic

Germanic split up pretty late compared to most other branches of Indo-European. As far as I remember only Slavic split up later.

Old English is A E S T H E T I C as fuck m8.

language isnt even a real thing you fucking idiots

>language isnt even a real thing you fucking idiots

Actually, Lithuanians do that as well

English is written with Latin alphabet
Latin alphabet is a variant of the Greek alphabet
the Greeks got their inspiration from the Phoenician which is a Semitic script
so English is a Semitic language

that isn't science, thats pseudo-scientific dogma and mental masturbation. English is based on latin and greek and so are the rest of the so-called "germanic" languages

(you)

read a book you fucking idiot.
We have 40% of our words derived from latin because the Normans brought Old French, but the basis of the language is still Germanic. Look up examples of "anglish" to better understand how this works.

English is an american language fucking yuropoors start sucking ahmeds cock

>Aryan
>English and Germanic languages

lol

theres an artificial version of english out there that only consists of germanic roots and,
>protip, english is germanic

Eh you still have weald and 'the weald' as English place names so although forest is more common the alternative is still a word. Same goes for a lot of the German words like berg, they were still pretty common up until the last couple of centuries, it's more just modern phrasing

Protip you can speak English using only Germanic words
However you can not speak English with only latin words

>Language classification is based on vocabulary and not grammatical structure.
The majority of Japanese vocabulary is derived from Chinese.
Roughly 60% of overall Japanese vocabulary has Chinese origins
Although in daily use it's closer to 20%, in a dictionary it's ~60%
Ergo, Japanese is a Sino-Tibetan language

Do you see how fucking stupid this logic is now?

wood = wald
stream = stroom (dutch)
meer gives us maritime, I presume, plenty of links there
waste = wuste
folk = volk
might = macht
speak = sprache

a lot of the germanic words still exist in english, but in different registers and forms

Most of these words also have Germanic synonyms. Forest -> woods, river -> stream, desert -> wastes, people -> folk, language -> speech

it objectively is

Who gives a shit? I only use these distinctions to help estimate the difficulty of learning a language. Because that's actually a functional usage.

>English people are the ugliest I have ever seen
>look at documentaries, they're all white trash ugly cunts and manlets
Average height of a young English person is about 6ft and all the good looking Hollywood actors are British

>Average height of a young English person is about 6ft
It isn't.

I hate to "ackchyually" you, but language classification isn't based on grammatical structure either (although of course related languages tend to have similar grammars for obvious reasons). Linguistic taxonomy is based on the genetic relationships between the languages in question; whether or not they descended from a common ancestor, and, if so, how recent their common ancestor was.

If English had somehow magically developed a triconsonantal root system it would still be a Germanic language and not a Semitic language.

I realize you probably know this. Some people reading the thread might not, though!

Oh yeah I am aware, it's just that grammatical structure through the comparative method is often used to determine genetic relationships between languages if there's not a readily apparent history behind them. The fact that there are people in this thread using grammar as an absolute baseline for linguistic comparison does make me think that they wouldn't be aware of that though.

I'm 6ft and I can't walk down the street without seeing people taller than me. 16 year old school kids are taller now. 5'10 is the average because of older people, if you're 5'9 you're basically a goblin

>I'm 6ft and I can't walk down the street without seeing people taller than me
because they aren't English lmao
