The region where the croissant dialect of French is spoken is shaped like a croissant.
Croissant means crescent, you can even see the words look similar. If you think that's funny, wait until you find out what french people call a magic wand.

>>219943358>>219943996The Franks FUCKED that language up big time
>>219944043>tf>tp>tl
>>219944064Yeah its no wonder when English is a divergent form of West Germanic influenced by French which is itself by far the most divergent Romance language from Latin
>>219944043I'd say that it wasn't the Franks that caused most of French's notorious changes. As most other languages had also a similar Germanic influence (The Ostrogoths and Lombards in Italy or the Visigoths in Spain).>>219944110Not really, that would be Romanian (or any other Vlach language like Aromanian). French is very divergent when it comes to pronunciation but many other Romance languages are even worse.
>>219944043>>219944268All the nasal-shit came long after franks influenced gallo-romance. Notice how no other germanic language in the region has all these weird features that make it sound so gay
>>219945192Do we really sound nasal? Nasal like the same way most of Northern American accents sound?
>>219946033Extremely so>t. Fellow Nasal Accent haver
>>219946033The most remarkable auditory feature of French when comparing it to other Romance languages is how nasal it is.
>>219945192Well... Portuguese exists.
>>219946033The only other Latin language descendant that is as nasal as French is Portuguese
>>219944268>Not really, that would be Romanian (or any other Vlach language like Aromanian).Romanian is divergent when it comes to borrowed vocabulary, but its core grammar is more similar to Latin than French is.
>>219944268It was the Germanic influence anon. The Ostrogoths were too small in number to change Italian and Spanish like that. But NE frogs are actually Franks
>>219945192>>219944043>>219944268We gave them stress accent. That alone changed everything. >Frankish had a determining influence on the birth of Old French, which partly explains that Old French is the earliest-attested Romance language, such as in the Oaths of Strasbourg and Sequence of Saint Eulalia.[20] The new speech diverged so markedly from the Latin that it was no longer mutually intelligible. The Old Low Frankish influence is also primarily responsible for the differences between the langue d'oïl and langue d'oc (Occitan) since different parts of Northern France remained bilingual in Latin and Germanic for several centuries, which[21] correspond exactly to the places in which the first documents in Old French were written. Frankish shaped the popular Latin spoken there and gave it a very distinctive character compared to the other future Romance languages. The very first noticeable influence is the substitution of a Germanic stress accent for the Latin melodic accent,[22] which resulted in diphthongisation, distinction between long and short vowels and the loss of the unaccentuated syllable and of final vowels
>>219946509>WeWho's we nigga? Frankish more closely related to Dutch than it is to modern German
>>219945192The Germanic dialects that actually bordered French for a long time do sound more nasal and French. Luxemburgish/Moselle Franconian and Palatine/Saarland German. Soft consonants, nasalization, loss of ç and intonation/loss of glottal stop according to some
>>219946565*is
>>219946509>WeNigga, Frankish was a West Germanic Language, more closely related to English, Dutch and Frisian than to your Germ tongue.
>>219946565we Germanics? nigga I'm so far west, what else would I be but mostly Frankish. Yes high german cucked us, but the blood is still Frankish if anything
>>219946587Germany consisted of many languages. Our western dialects descend ultimately from Frankish, but got cucked by Swabian and Eastern High German over the centuries. Cologne German for example was an independent language until 200 years ago, sharing a written standard with Dutch. Without Standard High German cuckery, a guy from Cologne wouldn't be able to converse with an Austrian. But it's all over now. I've heard similar things happened in Italy
>They were West Germanic, not German!Always funny to see idiots take Ls when the language they use itself obviously disproves what they're saying
>>219942099We call it croassã or croassão
>>219946660No they didn't, you speak German, you're German, Frankish and West Germanic are a whole thing altogether. Your country (like France) is built on the destruction of its linguistic diversity (how little of it remained when you unified).
>>219946816what the fuck are you trying to say
>>219942099used to, no one speaks that anymore
>>219942099Probably already posted, but doesn't it just mean "crescent'?
>>219946816Frankish varieties are still more or less intact outside the cities. What do you think Luxemburgish is
