Pre-Germany by a matter of many, many centuries, but I take your point. Also, specifically from an Anglo-Saxon, West Germanic fork that is considerably different from other forks, for example High German as I understand it. Also, English has also been a heavily Norman-French influenced language for almost a full millenium.
So bottom line, one might say that English is an olde French-West Germanic language with a load of influences from Latin, etc, that morphed over time just like most major languages do.
What really is the point in trying to artificially curate it, @[email protected]?
Mainly I’m inspired by Ivar Aasen’s work with nynorsk, and the norwegian movement of “målreising” (raising the tongue) where the challenge is to use more culturally rooted words in our language. I notice the language then becomes more poetic.
Wow, that’s a lot more interesting explanation than I was expecting. oO
So you’re Norwegian, is it? English your 2nd language?
By comparison, I definitely don’t mind official French resisting too many loanwords and slang, if only as an A2 French-learner, but… actually that stuff’s probably a joke to most French-speaking non-academics, I suppose.
Okay, trying to sign up now as you’ve got me curious. Looks like the Membership button from the PieFed side works differently now, so we’ll see what happens…
English literally started in Germany. What a load of nonsense.
