https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_lexis#Character_of_borrowing

>Loanwords from Turkish (and through Turkish from Arabic and Persian) are a legacy of the period of Ottoman rule (1422–1878) and are divided into two stylistic layers. The first one is neutral and is represented by a corpus of some 800 words, mostly items of clothing, foods and household items (чopaп “sock”; чeкмeджe “drawer”). The remainder consists of colloquial or slightly vulgar terms which occur particularly often in expressive speech and frequently have a humoristic or even pejorative nuance. They generally have neutral native synonyms (cf aкъл from Turkish vs yм from common Slavic, both meaning “wits, intelligence”). There is a fluent transition between this group and a large amount of more or less obsolete words that only occur in archaic or dialectal speech.

Latin rape baby reporting in. We had latinized ourselfs up to the point that i don't know if we shouldn't be considered bilingual.
But at least polish is 100% natural language, so you can create same sentence in many different ways. You can make most words scary sounding or cute sounding. you can reduce whole words to just one letter added to another word.
>Jeszcze jestem żywy
>Jeszczem żywy
>"I am still alive"
By combining latin words with polish language and slavic mechanics with all that archaic constructions we had remained, still we could communicate by using only kurwa + 3 verbs which mean literally fucking and some other 50 words. We have reached level of expression which gave us permament autism, just like 3 types of characters gave it to Nips.
So my conclusion is that polish is 100% pure language. It is quintessential purity of autism.

In Cree, there are many different dialects. So words vary depending on where you're from. In my dialect, we have quite a few loan words from french, due to the residential school run by frenchies in my reserve back then which then they literally beated it into our language.
For example;
The words we use for potatoe is
"Lapatâk"
Which is from french
"La pomme de terre"
We say "merci" for thanks
And the words for mom and dad are
"Nimama" and "nipapa"
:\

In the old ways, they were said as
As "askipâw" for potatoe
"hai hai" for thanks
And Dad and Mom were
"Nohtâwiy" and "Nikâwiy"

Some people use these old words still, but where I'm from, they're usually not said here. Except myself.
of course theres still alot more, but those are just a few smaller examples.

Tons of.
Funny thing is that most loanwords have analogies in our language, it's just in 17-18 centuries it was hip using foreign ones, so they stayed.
That's why I sometimes talk with archaisms with friends and laugh when kids around can't understand shit.

Faroese is currently going through a purification phase similar to Icelandic 100 years ago. All words that are of Danish or English origin are actively being replaced (while we are importing Icelandic ones), even words that have Danish cognates are being removed. It has gotten pretty out of hand at this point. I have family members living in Denmark who moved 20 years ago and don't know certain words because they are so new.

what does it mean in low german?

in dutch its the stabilizer of a boat, "keel" in english.

Peter the great (I think) had a huge hard on for dutch sailors so thats how the word came into russian.

Yeah, language purists also control the language council who refuse to add letters like q, c and x to the alphabet. They also control the list of approved legal names, so they essentially control what you can name your child.

The Low German word "Kiel" originally means "wedge", cognate to German "Keil". Later it was used as the word for the stabilizer of a boat, German uses the Low German form "Kiel" for that.
English and Dutch use very similar words because they are closely related.

is pointless.
>>
>>68994345
In Estonian we have the word "kiil", which has 4 meanings, 2-3 of them are Low German loans.

Meaning 1) wedge
Meaning 2) the part of the boat, (same as German "Kiel", possibly a High German loan)
Meaning 3) the act of animals fleeing from flies. From Low German "kīlen" - to run very fast. Possibly derived from meaning 4 - a dragonfly (which is a Baltic loan; compare Lithuanian "gylys" - needle).
>>
>>68994943
Also, the meanings of "wedge" and "stabiliser of boat" were seperate words in Middle Low German:
wedge: kīl
stabiliser: kil, kel
