My grandad went to Paris when he was a young man, and he said everyone was speaking German languages

Wtf? You cant just leave it at that. That is some mudflood tier conspiracy redpill if true.

The percentage of Germanic works in French is even smaller than in English

This is your daily reminder
>French/France/the French are the west Franks who got Latin’d

They’re not "French" if they’re not Germanic
Go be autistic somewhere else
-
Apologies if you’re offended, Dominique, but the truth must be told.
-
35 000 words in French
544 are from proto Germanic
That’s 1.5%-
in fairness to our ""french"" siss, it’s actually ~15% according to most studies (though there was a conscious effort in renaissance france to ‘de-germanize’ the tongue)
but 1.5%? that’s even more embarrassing anyway lmao

Many of the Latin words are rarely used. The most common English words are mostly Germanic.

you used 4 Latin words in your freaking sentence lmao, bahahahahah

Many of the Latin words are seldom brooked. The most mean English words are mostly Germanic.

Your language has been irrecoverably bonked by Latins. At this point just accept the Norman pill -
Femdom booked? Wtf does that mean in English?

Why use that when the word "nute" survived into middle English to mean "use" and is a direct cognate with the german/dutch word? -

>Most Latin words are hardly spoken. Germanic words are most often spoken in day to day life.
There is a way to say it without sounding like an autist like this guyMany of the Latin words are seldom brooked. The most mean English words are mostly Germanic.
-
This isn’t true unless you have the vocabulary of a dimwit
-
Using this and using graph
We know that the top 57 words in the English language should ALL be Germanic which means at the very least 40% of words occurring in any given text are Germanic. -
-
-
-
Note how all Romance languages are category I while German is Category II.
-
Why is Latin so perfect?
-
Notice that Scandinavian languages (Germanic) are Cat I
-
True, but the total percentage of Romance languages which are Category I is higher than that of Germanic languages.
-
Icelandic is Cat IV

>dark red

>freaking swahili and malay are easier to learn than icelandic
Bullshit map.-
Icelandic is very archaic and alien-sounding, even to Scandinavians.
Swahili and Malay probably coincidentally share traits with English or have simple grammar (which is an English trait).-
>Icelandic is very archaic and alien-sounding
I know it is, but the fact that it is a Germanic language means that it has alot in common with English. And if you compare it with the languages it is paired up with like Khmer, Tibetan, Filipino, Hebrew, etc., aswell as the ones in III, it isn’t that alien-sounding.
>even to Scandinavians.
Eh, for Scandinavians, especially for Norwegians, I reckon that it’s one of the easiest languages to learn. Atleast II, probably I.
>Swahili and Malay probably coincidentally share traits with English or have simple grammar (which is an English trait).
Source or stfu.-
A quick glance at the Malay wikipedia page tells me that it has a similar phonology to English (with some other phonemes that Anglos are familiar with like [x]) and simple grammar.
Swahili not so much. Idk why US diplomats find it easy. -
>I know it is, but the fact that it is a Germanic language means that it has alot in common with English.
Icelandic has preserved a number of older features either dropped by English, or replaced by contact with other languages. It doesn’t have much in common with English and both developed off completely seperate brances of Germanic for that matter (English deriving from West Germanic, and Icelandic from North Germanic), they’re not intelligible, and their syntax isn’t related either.
>Source or stfu.
Indo-Malay (there are slight variations depending on which version you learn), is notoriously simple for an Asian language. They lack verb conjugation, they aren’t tonal, and it’s a syllabic language.
As for Swahili, it’s also relatively easy, owed to being a standardized lingua franca of a region. It became commonly spoken in it’s area because it was easy and simple.

Chinese and Arabic in red.
people are just too scrotebrained to learn the script isn’t it? At least Chinese is one of the easiest languages I have ever studied by a large margin, the only slightly hard thing are the tones.-
Yeah Chinese is due to the script and tones.
Arabic is because it’s a Semitic language + has extremely autistic grammar and morphology (unlike Hebrew and Amharic which are Semitic but orange on the map).

>autodidactic fluent Japanese speaker/reader
Oh I hit the high score, didn’t I?
(I don’t know why it’s so high up) -
That’s because English dropped the case system that German uses. Otherwise, German vocabulary is very easy for an English speaker.
-
That little yellow corner in East Africa is mainly Swahili, right? Why is Swahili easier to learn than say, Oromo?

>English is not a germanic language because romance loanwords
Germanic grammar. Germanic core vocabulary. Germanic Syntax. Germanic pretty much everything. What are you trying to prove here, exactly.
-
This. Pseudo-linguist takes like this are awfully telling of how people think languages work.
-
-
>Vocab,
not frequency of use … the simple Anglo-Saxon root words are used all the time and form the bedrock of English-
>Anglo-Saxon
I would say Germanic as there are a number of quite rudimentary words that are of Old Norse origin, like give, want, wrong, though, are, etc.
-
-
The vocabulary could be replaced entirely and it’d still be a Germanic language.
-
-
-
That moment when you realize Spanish has about the same percentage of Romance vocabulary as English

woke af medbvlls win again

american nglish removed lots of the french influence but it also has more latin influence, ie the spelling of "color"
-
Yes, and?
-
English word usage is mostly Germanic. The vast majority of Latin words are not commonly used, and redundant to the Old English vocabulary. The reason why most English literature is heavily Old English in origin is because virtually all the core grammar words are Old English. The pronouns, the prepositions, pretty much all the essential verbs (is, to be, etc).
People like OP don’t know anything about linguistics though.
-
Do you have more data on this? What about newspapers or even film scripts?
-
It’s counting all the repetition of prepositions, pronouns etc..
-
>he far more used than her
misogynistic pig

This is the case with many languages reliant on foreign loanwords
Japanese dictionaries for instance consists of ~70% sino-xenic words but in daily conversation that ratio flips and it’s 70% native Japanese instead. Same with Korean.
The more technical terms you need, the more alien your text will sound. -

These datas are pretty dubious
Yes words that come directly from Latin (words like "virus", "forum", "chorus", "ovum"…etc) tend to be technical words rarely in common speech.
But words that come from French (words such as "people", "person", "forest", "city", "number"….etc) are extremely common, to the point these is always at least one French word (usually a noun, a verb or an adjective) in almost every single sentence.-
>from French
*from Romanz
-
-
It’s because shitty irrelevant and unnecessary structure words are inflating the percentage of Germanic words used.
Shitty words like "the", "an", "at"…and stuff like that which are very common in every sentence even tho useless and unnecessary to understand the general sense.
Pic related, the 25 most used words in various catogories of words.
Notice how French/Latin words are extremely present in the words that give its sense to a sentence (nouns, adjectives and verbs) but inexistent among shitty structure words (which, although less relevant, tend to be more numerous in a sentence).-
>French
*RomanzThey’re not "French" if they’re not Germanic
-
>t’s because shitty irrelevant and unnecessary structure words are inflating the percentage of Germanic words used.
Try freaking talking without using those words, genius.-
Well, for exemple: "People use the river to travel the country"
If you remove French words you get:
>the to the
If you remove Germanic words you get:
>People use river travel countryWith only the useless Germanic structure words you have no idea what is going on, while with only the sense-making French words you easily understand the meaning.

Yes you can make up an example but try imaging actual conversation between people without using pronouns.

And again, Taleb is right, Chrysippus reincarnation quotes are redpilled as in his previous reincarnation as philosopher.

Yes, it’s an island creole. Minimal grammar, but a diverse vocabulary.

>it’s the pseudo YouTube linguists again
A language’s classification is determined by its genetic (linguistically) origin, nothing else. English is derived from West Germanic, therefore it is Germanic.
Japanese is not Chinese just because 60% of its vocab is Chinese derived -
Nice flashmob, barbcucks. You are either very fat or just really dumb.
But about English – it’s true. 2/3 of the vocabulary is Romance and less than a third is Germ.
