    If this is his thought process, he should take it a step further.

    French is just badly pronounced Latin.

      My mother (who is french) describes the language as “Latin, but mumbled around a cigarette”

        So what’s German then? A bunch of that overlaps with English words too from my recollection.

          german is just language lego - you just keep building new words from old parts.

      But in this case French actually is Latin. English isn’t a descendant of French, but French is derived mostly from Latin
