>English is NOT a romance language even though it's easier for a native speaker to learn a romance language than German
Loan words ≠ language family.If they did Japanese would be both a Chinese and an English dialect.
>>18489145Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me
>>18489151english is phenotypically romance but genetically germanic
>>18489151Almost half the language is romance loan words, so at this point it's just a mutt language.
>>18489399English isn't any kind of romance. The core grammar words of English are all Germanic. You cannot speak or write English without Germanic verbs, pronouns, prepositions, and articles. The Latin and Greek words introduced via French are mostly supplementary vocabulary. If you really wanted to, you could speak English without using any Latin or Greek words at all, though it would sound very stilted, it would be grammatically correct and comprehensible English. You can't do the same with latin vocab.Good luck writing in English without any pronouns, no is/am/are, no prepositions or articles, all of which are Germanic.
>>18489413It doesn't matter how many unneeded loan words are romance, the language's grammar and essential vocab are all Germanic.
Current post utilizes romance vocabulary exclusively. Peruser potentially notices artificial post vernacular flavor. Consequently, original poster confirmed faggot.
>>18489520>Peruserlmao. This also isn't grammatically correct. Such and such confirmed whatever works for internet meme speak. But the lack of even one to be verb is simply wrong. The lack of articles is also only theoretically acceptable here. In practice it is clearly wrong.
>>18489145i don't think that's true
