  • @MrsMokonzi Don't hate because she's beautiful.

  • Much better than that stupid Bitch Sarah Chalke!!!

  • @mty1 Few people have already pointed this out, but it is the complete opposite. If anything, English is like a creole derivative with Germanic roots and Romantic/Scandinavian influences.

  • It's funny that she mixes in a German word after switching to English and also inflects an accent while speaking English. It amuses me somewhat.

  • @mty1 Oh no, English is a derivative~ English as we'd recognize it is quite young - to get to Modern English, Middle English, or even Old English requires tracing back through a lot of Germanic and Romantic languages (Grimm's law is one big example of English gaining existence from pre-existing Germanic languages). To say that English too "a lot" of Germanic and Romantic languages would probably be an understatement

  • pretty cool!

  • @mty1 its the other way around. Germanic languages have been around since proto-germanic (a contemporary of the latin of the roman empire). Germanic languages brought over to what is now England by Germanic tribes in the 5th-6th c. onward evolved into Anglo-Saxon (Old English) and eventually into the modern english language. Meanwhile as the germanic tribes consolidated back in Germany gradually the German language began to appear. English and German are cousin languages but are Germanic.

  • @Seankwondo87

    No, German is a type of English language.

  • Schlachthaus fünf, this is Schlachthaus fünf. Fünf is English five. Schlach is slaughter.

    Haus is house. Schlachthaus fünf, slaughterhouse five. Your house.
