You've never heard of Jean Poutine? If I lacked basic knowledge like this, I would be a little less arrogant.

No, in Canada poutine is the yellow yeast infection stuff they put on their fries. Duh.

Anyway, let's fight the real enemy. The French. My God, lasbar, if I didn't live here you'd remind me how bloody-minded all you Frogs are.

So you think that barbarians decided one day to adopt Latin alphabet and accurately record all their grammatical and syntax constructs on paper, while astonished Roman scholars looked on?

Yes, Latin languages and Germanic languages are relatives and have similarities. You could equally use this to argue the case for Latin being derived from Germanic languages. Likewise with any other Indo-European language.

This is a good family tree:



Hence:

English: is
French: est
Latin: est
German: ist
Russian: est

Ok this chart is missing all Baltic languages like Lithuanian, Estonian, Latvian Finnish. Also where is Hungarian? Also it misspells Romanian (where did you get this chart anyway?).
Example based on "is/est" suppose to lead to conclusion that Russian is Latin-based language?

As far as German syntax is concerned they have declination and conjugation.
English I believe, does not have either.

No. It was later when Christian priests in northern Europe began writing things down. They spoke both their native language and latin. The native language adopted modified characters from latin and evolved from there. These things happen slowly over time, not all of a sudden.

"Rumanian" is not misspelled. Ceausescu forced the "o" spelling of Rumania in one of those Socialistic attempts at achieving (Roman) glory and distracting the populace from his political shortcomings.

Yes absolutely that is how languages change with time and without any laws protecting their integrity.

Germans wrote in Greek before they start to write in Latin.

Can you verify that? I do believe they used various Runic dialects before they began to adopt Latin.

Runic scripts are Greek.

There are a few latin characters as well.
We might as well say that Runic is from Phoenician too..

That's generally the idea, although the church, particularly in connection with bible translations, very often were the ones who did the acual recording.

So is this, but at least it explains your misunderstanding above. Dkzzzz; you must be trolling here. Please go on, the insistent ignorance amuses me.
