Pick one. Seriously, look at a fucking Anglish phrase. Especially one in the context of politics, science or other such elevated subjects. It makes you sound like a fucking retard.

You'd be better off removing the Germanic elements from English, making it a fullfledged Latin language.

simple : you can't

>>68751016
We got fucking FRANKED

>>68750830
It only sounds retarded because we're used to germanic words being "lower class" words compares to their latin equivalents.

Read a German text and how they call matter "stuff" and a car a "wagon" and they might sound "retarded" too by your reasoning.

We have state subsided groups that remove english influence from french, I don't see why it wouldn't go too in the other way

>>68751079
This, they use "bound" instead of "country" and "reach" instead of "empire" and noone bats an eye

>>68747485
just because you came from the calais jungle doesn't make you french, abdul

>>68751079
Unrelated, but elements in Estonian are somewhat similar to Anglish:

hydrogen = "vesinik" - derived from "vesi" - water.
in Anglish: waterstuff

oxygen. "hapnik" - derived from "hapu" - sour.
in Anglish: sourstuff

>>68750830
english isn't even remotely close to being a latin language

loan words =/= language family

>make 100% purely Germanic form of English
>sounds like a barbaric subhuman language

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIo-17SIkws

>>68751460
Exactly.
Most languages have loanwords to some degree, some have very high percentages.

E.g in Estonian over 40% of the vocabulary is borrowed. About 25% are germanic. (middle low german, high german, proto-germanic, proto-norse, old swedish, swedish, baltic german (local high german dialect))
And this is not counting newer loans from Latin and Greek.

>>68751563
>Firststuffs
Literally a word a child would make up

>>68751079
See firststuffs. In Dutch and German that's still elements. In the sciences we still speak of reactions, formulas and methods and not of returndeeds, writtenbeholdings and doways.

English is 60% Latin obviously because the average people in Roman Britain spoke Latin by the time of the fall of the Roman Empire just like in France another former Celtic country conquered about the same time as Britain.

sorry m8, it was done long ago

>>68751681
In Estonian it's pretty much the same, most scientific vocabulary is Latin/Greek.

Although we don't use the word "formula", we use "valem" - derived from "valama" - to pour.

>>68751681
>In Dutch and German that's still elements. In the sciences we still speak of reactions, formulas and methods and not of returndeeds, writtenbeholdings and doways.
that'll be because you have loan words and romance influence then

>>68750427

Sounds even more retarded than actual english.

>>68747858
Move, from the verbe mouver, se mouvoir, hardly used in french, always used in english. Thank you for cherishing your roots so much.

>>68751796
Indeed. And removing something as impactful as Roman and Greek influence makes you sound like a mouthbreathing retard. Who knew that for the sciences we generally prefer the terms of the founders of Europe and the schools of logic over those who wore bearskins and fucked elk?

Have fun appearing like a retard. Or should that be eyewatcheding like a slowthink?

>>68747153
>remove

>>68751771
>English is 60% Latin
again, loan words
>the average people in Roman Britain spoke Latin by the time of the fall of the Roman Empire
factually incorrect
roman integration in britain was very minimal, they kept to themselves and the average briton spoke a variety of celtic languages before the angles, jutes, and saxons (and later norse) arrived

english is actually a north germanic language born from a west germanic language with romance loan words and trappings of celtic words leftover

>>68751925
fyi i'm not the lad you were originally talking to

>>68751925
This got me thinking about word derivation.

"appear" - in Estonian this is "ilmuma", derived from "ilm" - meaning weather, world - so the meaning is something like "to come into the world"

"retard" - is "alaarenenud" - lit. underdeveloped

Synonyms are only positive; they add to the richness of a language.

Having both "waterstuff" and "hydrogen" would be beautiful, in my opinion.

>>68752062
Tell me more about Estonian !!

>>68751681
Science (English) - Wetenschap (Dutch) - Knowingship (English again)

>>68752062
>alaarrenenud
i like how estonian sometimes looks like finnish

but you are fenno-ugricarum so i spose that's not surprising

>>68751975
English is West-Germanic with some North-Germanic influence.

It's closest relatives are Scots (which split from Old English) and Frisian.

>>68751975
Latin derived words in your post:
>factually
>incorrect
>integration
>minimal
>variety
>languages
>actually
It's not "just loan words".

>>68752081
What would you like to know?

>>68747153
Why not replacing all Germanic words by latin words?
After all civilization is an heritage of the Roman Empire.

>>68751429
that's literally what the original words are also derived from you chuhnya

>>68752194
Why not adopt Welsh?
It is the direct descendant of the original language of Britain, Brittonic.

>>68752131
that was the previous assumption before recent studies
here's a new study by two linguist:
http://www.anglistika.upol.cz/vikings2014/

to summarise, the angles and the danes created a mixed language through shared words with norse grammatical structure and a hefty amount of old norse words too
the resulting anglo-scandinavian language went on to become middle english and later modern english

it's a very interesting read and explains why english sits so awkwardly next to other west germanic languages but fits nicely next to scandinavian

a wordbook for you nerds

>>68752194
>implying civilization didn't start with the enlightenment, where Portuguese, French and British writers like Descartes, Spinoza and Locke fled to the Netherlands and wrote down Dutch ideas to spread to the world.

>>68752417

>>68752340
What about the renaissance?
The return of classical Greek and latin influence and philosophy did a lot to mitigate the influence of the church.
When you read Les lumières you'd notice that they are heavily influence from classical philosophy especially regarding politics and science.

Since I live in the New World, I don't think I care much for how english sounds anymore 2bh.

I'd rather learn a less raped existing language, or learn the olde one

Either straight up speak old english or don't. Modern english without french or latin influence sounds and looks terrible. Google anglish and you'll see what I'm taking about.

That makes sense because as the Latin speaking locals interacted with the Germanic speaking invaders they only learned basic words, for all the nonbasic words they didn't know how to say in Germanic they used a Latin word they knew instead.

Ever wondered where the American gun culture came from?

>>68753267
Well the reason that firststuffs sounds dumb is because stuff is a pretty informal word in modern English. Had English undergone an alternative, more Germanic, evolution, then it might be a more formal word, and firststuffs would not sound silly.

No-one that knows Danish would think of grundstoffer as a childish word, and stoffer doesn't directly translate to stuffs (not anymore anyway).
