Did the battle of hastings actually change anything important?

Depends, do you consider English language as "something important"?

>>3254636

So we wouldn't be able to talk if the Normans hadn't won?

>>3254642
Unless you're an Englishman, nope
The Normans are those who turned England from a backwater shithole to a great power
So no doubt English wouldnt be as relevant as now without them

>>3254652
But that's wrong, Anglo-Saxon England was richer and more developed than France.

>>3254623
Claim to French land and consequent wars, and Magna Carta could be attributed to the fact that the French kings were out of touch with the English speaking nobility and peasantry, and were too busy invading France and Jerusalem.

Don't worry anon, all the frogs that invaded eventually got absolutely NIGEL'd and now their descendants are Anglo as fuck.

>>3254652
the great power stuff came long after the Normans, probably started with the English renaissance late 14th/early 15th C I think. Before that we were just fighting with France mostly and weren't out conquering much more than that.

>>3254642
If harald hardrade won we would be probably speaking anglosaxon mixed with norweigan words. Assuming the anglos colonize north america and the colonies end up dominating popular culture.

Why 1903? I mean Karadjoko should be happy since it was his grandson that came into power that year.

Except the Normans left practically no genetic imprint. If you were even a little educated you would know this.

>>3255800
he means the anglo saxon cultural heritage you idiot. anglo-saxon genes are only 30% anyway kek

I'm just saying it could have ended differently. There was no need for the autistic prick to be brutally hacked to death and thrown off a balcony.
Simply banishing him at gunpoint would have been enough.

Exactly, most of it is native Briton, so it wasn't even significant in the slightest.

>>3255814
Agree completely.

>To be fair, the vast majority of day to day English is Germanic.
Wrong, for nouns/adjectives/verbs (the important words) it's around 50/50 between French and Germanic

>Look up Anglish, it's perfectly intelligible.
Anglish is a tryhard attempt at evicting French/Latin words that looks weird as fuck (proof that Romance words are very present in "normal" English) and often fail when needing to use words with no Germanic counterpart (like "use")

>>3256476
>Anglish is a tryhard attempt
It's nothing of the sort, it's just a fun project

These words are related to the English word "found" as in "conjugated form of find"
The English word "founder" as in "original creator" is a latinate

>From Old French founder (Modern French: fonder), from Latin fundāre. Confer with fund.
