Why did the language of the Anglo-Saxon invaders wipe out Latin

it didn't

good chunk of English is derived from Latin words

>>3274380
That's post 1066, old English had very few Latinate words

>>3274380
The only Latin words that were in Old English were borrowed into Proto-Germanic on the continent or with Christianity 200 years after the invasion.

>>3274292
Because Latin was barely used in Roman Britian. It wiped out Brythonic, not Latin.

>>3274292
The Anglo-Saxons were much more numerous relative to the Briton population.

Also French is heavily influenced by Frankish, for example the Frankish stress accent is responsible for the apocope and diphthongization that gives French its distinctive look.

And in vocabulary

Frank were around the Romans for awhile whereas the anglos came to Britain at the very end of their reign

More info on the apocope in French? I never really understood how it happened

>good chunk of English is derived from Latin words

Through French because of the 1066 conquest
Old English was fully Germanic

>>3274401

This is a meme

French is fully, Latin, in fact it is the most conservative Latin languages in some aspect

because roman withdraw from Britain when began to be a problem defending, also compared to France had less roman settlements so once most of the romans where gone, AS had a easier time annexing them, rather than being annexed like Franks

>>3274292
Because Britain was irrelevant

In Britain, the end of Roman rule was also the end of urban living. In France, the cities survived the invasion of G*rms and with them, the high culture of the Late Empire survived to work its spell on the barbarians.

>>3274292
French fought fiercely against the Alamans, Franks, Goths, and Burgundians, and never gave up the fight to perserve their language. On the other hand, English as Islanders were more cowardly and weak so they gave up easily, the most "brave" among them aka the Bretons chose to flee to preserve their culture.

germanic languages were originally based on latin and pre-indo-european languages spoken in germania. Europe was more culturally unified before the bronze age collapse

>>3276378
wrong

>>3274292
Latin was a garrison language. It wasn't in widespread use among commoners throughout most of Roman territory. There were some Latin-speaking villages that lasted a couple hundred years after the departure of Roman soldiers, but that's the exception.

People will speak the language that gives them access to wealth and power. In England that was Old English, in proto-France that was Gaulish Latin. Simple as, really.

>>3274380
Less than you think, and it mostly comes from later ecclesiastical sources via the Roman Catholic Church.

That said, sure, some city names are based on their Latin names. There's little that dates from the Romano-British period though.

And the least conservative in other aspects. It is far more divergent than Italian or Spanish in many respects.

northern europe, even scandinavia, was more connected to central and southern europe during the bronze age, then the trade routes collapsed.
Bronze age northern europe was more organized then northern europe in the iron age.
