Sure. But it’s specifically a West Germanic language with a prominent Norman French superstrate and subtle Celtic and North Germanic substrate. Every language in Europe has substrates and superstrates. Even “pure” languages have traces of long-lost pre-Yamnaya languages. Yours as well, whateverthefuck Balkanoid language you speak, with all the Slavo-Greco-Thracian-Dacian-Anatolian gypsy mingling in the region

Yes we do mein nigger it’s called “late morning”
>but it’s not a compound word!
Who gives a hoot it’s still an expression we use daily, doesn’t make a difference whether it’s written as one word or two or hyphenated

>largest vocabulary
Does it really count when like half of those are latin/french words a brit thought looked cool, so he wrote it down once and now it's considered a part of the english language

“Overmorrow” is interesting but I’ve never felt the need for this specific word
We just say “in 2 days” or whatever day is relevant in context. There’s not much ambiguity.
Also how many languages have a word like “fortnight” for two weeks? Not the skibidi rizzin fortnite

English having the largest vocabulary in the world is largely an invention promoted by english primatist, when you research into it the presupposition falls apart.

>>224393045
Calma, stavo cercando un termine più antico, forse latino, per indicare quella parte della giornata.
Tarda mattinata è sufficiente credo, od anche prima di pranzo.

One I noticed yesterday: English doesn't have words for hard balls.

kula = small hard ball, like for example a marble
klot = large hard ball, like for example a bowling ball (bowlingklot)
