Is the definition of English as a “French-German creole” (or even a romance-germanic creole) at all mainstream in linguistics? I was under the impression that mainstream linguistics classifies modern English firmly as West Germanic, and discounts the Normans’ infusion of French vocabulary into it as inconsequential.
I knew several of these words! Hooray for the remnants of pre-semester-abroad self-taught Welsh!
inspiration taken from the ‘Once and Future’ comic series perhaps? pretty much this exact thing happens in it. it’s quite short and finished, highly recommend it!
Nice to see the Celtic languages referenced by smbc. Da iawn.
Aren’t one of the invader groups that he fought off the Saxons and other Germanic groups?
