@@aff_925 I hope your teacher doesn't get fired for it.

I agree with the sentiment. Language is technology. Words are actual magic spells. Right phrase or utterance can start a war, begin a relationship, open a portal to new possibilities. It's unbelievable.

Very interested

Wow! 43 years? Still teaching? Have you decided not to retire?

Your critique of this video exemplifies your mastery of English technology. How a share your sentiment!@@CloudEnglish

@@roneienglish1921 I live in Brazil. Teachers make very little money. I can't retire. But I love what I do. I just teach one-to-one now, online. English and Portuguese, literatures and languages.

I think English grammar became simplified over the years and the gendered nouns gradually fell out of use. (I believe OE used them).

probably clashes between old norse and old german platt

Egads I recall French class. A typewriter has a gender??😳

We do not havegenderednouns in hungarian either!

English is close to it but not actually a genderless language. We have gendered pronouns and word modifications like actor and actress. While I'm not sure about the latter, the former is a small remnant of the three genders of old English (masculine, feminine and neuter). Nouns in most (if not all) Germanic languages have no system to distinguish gender (like a and o endings in Spanish). With that in mind, all that you need is a shift in the determiners. Old English has three words for the: "se," (masculine) "seo," (feminine) and "that" (neuter). That shifted to be the demonstrative determiner we use today. Se and seo either merged to become the pronouns he and she or the word "the."

Romans never spoke English. What's your point?

@@knowledgedesk1653 he's making a joke

@Auggie Agreed....all this doest, mayeth and thee etc. make me quinch.

@@brettscott8288 but that's how u guys got modern English

@@knowledgedesk1653 you’re depressing, lol.

Learning (Learn some English 🤪)

Hash sha shins .

Yes especially the ph that sounds like F for example. In addition in Latin there are some words that have weird plurals that have carried over to English such as words ending in -um becoming plural by changing it to A or I for example.

Don't forget other languages such as Japanese. What is the English word for raw fish covered with rice and seaweed? It is the same as the Japanese word "sushi"

@@ArtFreeman - Yes, but compared to other languages, Japanese lexicographical influences on English are negligible.

@@dorianphilotheates3769 It may be small compared to French, Latin, and Greek, but it is still there

@@ArtFreeman - No doubt.

1. interssting point is wherever germans come, they adopted the local languages. germans speak latin and french. goten spanish. Lombard Italian. the only exception is the british isles. the Germans in the form of Saxons, Anglers have kept their language. from which English developed. As a German, I could say that my ancestors brought English along the way. 2. intersssting point is. Julius cäsar take a germanic tribe and then called all with the same culture, language ... are germanics. the most came from the terretory of modern germany. so and englisch spoken people called the land who i live Germany and our language German. and this words came from germanics. but this is not so wrong because cäsar called all tribes east the rhine river Germanics. now in Germany we have many different people like saxons, bavariens, Hessen, thuringiens and so on. and all called germans. this shows how important is german and our history for europe, despite english as world language and the influence of spanish, portugues, italien, french speaking countries.

@@CloudEnglish what's the jingle from 10:35 till the end of video? I liked that one lol.

85 per cents of french vocabulary are coming from the french and modern commonly not from the vkings that why the english are the worst searchers in the 17 domains of the linguistic science is not a propagand science propagand ... from the french ..

french vocabulary at85 epr cents with a non germanic grammar make a germanic language english logic when you don t know what mean "langu" and the suffix "age" in the french word language but trying to say its german ... lol

@@tigroujungle6287 i don't understand what you said.

What kind of language did british use before latin.

@@user-ry8sf4em9t it was the irish and gaelic languages. a few people speaks today it in ireland and scottland.

Hi

I wish I had inserted some false information into the video, to teach teachers not to trust idiots (like me) to provide serious education

@@CloudEnglish Hahahhahahh

Hope you passed lmao

@@CloudEnglish you should be honoured

Lo mejor del material como el tuyo es el excelente nivel de inglés que contiene.

So be it!

We can indeed know that this modern form of English will evolve and change over time, because all languages do!

500 BC is when the celts first arrived in britain.....

Rats. I should have.

Yes and the version we have now was revised in the 1800s.

Just for this is hard learn to 100% english for me...Contractions of contranctions🙄

Hahaha

Hahahaha laughing my ass off

We are going back to Egyptian times... starting over 😂

Lol

Really interesting point

Wow. Thanks for saying that. I’m glad you liked it.

we did not evolve. God made us

@@56pjr True....but how does this fit in with the laughing about the king?

Why on earth are you babbling so? Get serious about your sins, God, Jesus, Heaven, Hell, and your desperate need for The Savior. Repent and believe the bible.

@@56pjr stfu

It’s hard to say for sure, but I think texting will eventually change official spellings. At the same time, the internet may prevent localized dialects from developing.

bruhh 🤣

Alas, I wish all points of interest could have been mentioned, but some things had to be left out for time (many things, actually).

Please tell me more

Spelling wise it is actually newer, the Americans changed many elements of their spelling. It is more pronunciation that stayed similar, although people from the west country actually sound closer to Shakespeares English.

Well, American spelling was simplified by Noah Webster during the mid 19th century. I think an American attibute is to speak plainly. However, modern American English is heavily influenced by advertising.

Don't forget the word "Assassin" comes from an ancient iranian sect, which originated the term and word.

I think he's referring to the noun "assassination" rather than the verb assassinar (assassinate) or the original hashashin of Persian Shia origin. They all ultimately derive from the Iranian.

It’s a barreleye fish.
