English is still a Germanic language - Fail to the French.

@DenEldenKrieg German contains 20% french vocabulary, especially military, medical and science terms--the pathetic trial to germanize french words such as Restorant instead of Restaurant has failed, the Duden had to return to the old since most german newspapers didn't accept the new version--german fail

Really? I spent like two whole semesters learning about the Norman Invasion, the spread of English language, the differences between Southern English and Northern English... and then... I could have learnt it all in just one minute!!! and actually enjoying it!!!

Actually, back in the day, cows were called both 'cows' and 'beefs', sheep were 'sheep' and 'muttons' etc. It was a more recent development to distinguish between the animal and the meat.

William the Conqueror was known as William the Bastard due to his being illegitimate. It wasn't until after he conquered England that he got to trade in his awful nickname of William the Bastard for the much better name of William the Conqueror.

I'd like to point out that the Normans spoke and still speak Norman, which is a distinct language from French. Tisk tisk video.

@donatj Hmm, well, the language still exists, but to say the Normans speak it is a bit of a stretch. I'm pretty sure that less than 1% of the population speak it.

@donatj so distinct it's intercomprehensible with French.

@donatj Why do you say that ? I've lived in Normandy and no, they don't speak a different language. Unless you've talked with peasants, who may talk in a vernacular form of French. Even then, it is nothing like the medieval Norman.

@mespursongles Just because the French horsains have managed by force to almost eliminate all other languages than French does not mean we still do not speak Norman in Normandy. And Norman is not a patois of French. French is only one of the many Oil languages and who evolved the latest into a language since it mixed with other Oil languages. The Norman language is much closer to the language our ancestors spoke in medieval times and we have an older literature in Norman then you in French.

Where did you live in Normandy? I'm not a peasant (not that I would be ashamed) but I speak Norman.

@donatj BS. The Normans were French by the time they invaded England. Mutton = mouton, pork = porc, beef = boeuf etc.

The Normans were not French when they conquered England they were Normans as we are Normans still. Our language us a romance language of Oil origins like French but so are Gallo, Picard and Wallon. Our Norman language has more Norse vocabulary than French Frankish. Nordic laws used by the Norman court such as Ullac, Hamfara, Murdrum Warech, etc where not used by the Franks. The Norse ships used to traverse the channel in 1066 were well of Norse origins not French.
