Do you consider English a latin or germanic based language?

Neither.

If youre not being edgy, then
where was it derived from?

english *IS* a germanic language with great lexical influence from french and latin. this isn't open to debate.

Latin doesn't have pointless garbage like fixed word order or articles, so..

fixed word order is a necessity brought by lack of cases

dude about half of the english language is based on anglo saxon
the rest is a mix of latin, greek, and a miscellany of other languages
that's why we sometimes have two words for things
e.g. canine animal:
german : hund
danish : hund
french : chien (them damn frenchies always got to have a fancy way of saying things)
etc etc
but english : dog
but we also have hound, although that is usually used to refer to a particular type of hunting dog

English isn't a language. It's three languages in a trench coat pretending to be one language.

>>9387435
I know its a hack of a language
French is superior in that regard as its purely a Latin derivative

English has like Teutonic and Latin abominations combined into one

t. moron
half of the English may derive from Anglo Saxon, but Anglo Saxon is said to belong to the Germanic languages family.

English is a Germanic language. In the past, people would first study Latin grammar before studying English grammar (if they studied English grammar at all), leading people to conceptualize English grammar through Latin paradigms. English does not function in that mold, however, as any modern grammar will tell you. The fact that English contains many words from other languages, specifically Latin, does not have any bearing on which language family English is part of. Many people in this thread are confused and are thinking about vocabulary.

Wow so Inglish is one language... what could be others we have not even heard of.
