Germanic vs Romance l Where did English Come From? 

I'm glad you liked my video enough to integrate it into yours and respond to it, but mentioning or crediting my channel would have been nice. I put weeks of work into each video.

It is a pity, they didn‘t use the word window: It is Fenster in German, Fönster in Swedish, finestra in Italian, ventana in Spanish and fenêtre in French. 😂

It's kind of funny how this particular group mention that the plants have names in Latin, when it is actually Swedens fault that is the case. It was an 18th century Swedish scientist, Carl von Linné, who created the scientific classification system for naming plants and animals that is still used globally today, and chose to use Latin for it.

The lack of historical knowledge of these world travelers is disappointing.

English was a germanic language. Then they were conquered by french speaking dudes, who took over all the nobility positions in england. For centuries, there was a french speaking nobility and a germanic speaking peasantry. Then the king of england ended up being the rightful heir of the crown of France by right of succession (the deceased king of france had no son), and other contenders used the fact that he was king of a foreign country to discard him (despite the fact that he was a french speaker of french culture with lands in France). After about 70 years into the war of succession (the famous 100 years wars, which lasted actually 116 years), the english king, in a move to unify his land against the french forces) decided to separate from the french culture and established english as the official language of england, which led to noble men speaking some sort of creole, a weird mix of germanic and french, which we know today as modern english. Hence why the english often has two words to say the same thing. And why english speakers see the french with this feminine sophisticated elite stereotype. For example, look at the word cow. The animal itself is named after the germanic word, because that was the word peasants used. But once a meat on the plate of the noblemen, it is a beef (from the french boeuf). Same for the mutton (mouton in french)/sheep (german), or pork(french)/pig(german) Or overall complex/sophisticated words. Clever vs Intelligent Strength vs Force office vs bureau cooking vs cuisine etc... This heritage had a direct influence in politics, economics and law related vocabulary, like money, treasury, exchequer, commerce, finance, tax, liberalism, capitalism, materialism, nationalism, plebiscite, coup d'état, regime, sovereignty, state, administration, federal, bureaucracy, constitution, jurisdiction, district, justice, judge, jury, attorney, court, case, attaché, chargé d'affaires, envoy, embassy, chancery, diplomacy, démarche, communiqué, aide-mémoire, détente, entente, rapprochement, accord, treaty, alliance, passport or protocol. On the folkloric side, a lot was taken from that time from the french (cockatrice, dragon, griffin, hippogriff, phoenix, wyvern for mythological beast, or even exotic for the time like lion, leopard, antelope, gazelle, giraffe, camel, zebu, elephant, baboon, macaque, mouflon, dolphin, ocelot, ostrich, chameleon). And France having had an influencial military history, a ton of war related words, like accoutrements, aide-de-camp, army, artillery, battalion, bivouac, brigade, camouflage, carabineer, cavalry, cordon sanitaire, corps, corvette, dragoon, espionage, esprit de corps, état major, fusilier, grenadier, guard, hors-de-combat, infantry, latrine, legionnaire, logistics, matériel, marine, morale, musketeer, officer, pistol, platoon, reconnaissance/reconnoitre, regiment, rendezvous, siege, soldier, sortie, squad, squadron, surrender, surveillance, terrain, troop or volley.

The word for animal in German and Swedish are actually related Tier and Djur, cognate with English Deer The thing of English is that it has many cognates with the other Germanic language, but many of these words were replaced by Latin words, not only formal words, but also basic, like “art, animal, color, voice, family, people, languages” “craft, deer, hue, steven, kin, folks, tongues”

this video format works so well!!! is perfect bc they're face to face and it make it easier for them to share their thoughts, and learning about them languages , it was very nice to watch congrats!!!!

The modern English word "deer" used to, in Old English, refer to all animals. Then it became specific to that animal in Middle English. So it was cognate with Tier in German and Djur in Swedish. I'm guessing "animal" came with the French in 1066. The French also brought different words for animals, which English now uses as the meat from those animals - pig/swine vs pork, sheep vs mutton, cow vs beef.

In English, the name of the animal tends to be Germanic based, but the name of meat tends to be French based.

The similares that i like the most in this group is Spanish and Italian , love both languages, if a portuguese speaker had been there would be even better , the germanic side would like to add an dutch speaker

The word "animal" is from Latin. But English has a word related to German "Tier" and Swedish "djur": "deer". In English's case, it came to mean a specific type of living creature. English was changed (as Elysa correctly stated) by the Norman Conquest of Britain in 1066, which make English as the language of government and the upper classes unused and relegated only to the common people, which meant that there are several instances where the English/Germanic word was used in a certain context while the French/Romance word was used in another for the same items (ex: kingly vs. royal; cow vs. beef; shirt vs. blouse). And then later Latin and Greek were used for words of science, art, philosophy. It's why the percentage of words from a Romance origin is so high. But other languages had changes too: Spanish was influenced by Germanic languages, Greek, and notably Arabic. Swedish was influenced by Latin, French and German. (Modern) Italian was influenced by French and Spanish. German was influenced by Dutch, French, and Latin. French itself is a mirror of sorts to English: it was a Romance language built on a lot of Germanic words, which ironically then entered English (English words "blue" and "hate" are both from French, but both ultimately of Germanic origin).

My knowledge of Romance and Germanic philology is itching to clarify some things, like the first personal pronoun in the Romance languages, which all derive from latin "Ego" (I'm italian). In italian, if I remember correctly, the process was: Ego-> Eo-> Io Sometimes, the words between two sister languages are different because they also had another language which either formed the linguistic base of the community, or it coexisted with the more prestigious one. Or, it may be that the two languages chose different words from the same semantic context: for example, we Italians took, through french's influence, the latin verb "MANDUCARE" which meant "to chew". Through different delevopmental processes, it became "mangiare" in italian and "manger" in French, with the new meaning of "to eat" because, logically speaking for the ancients, if you chew something it's because you want to eat it. The Spanish chose the original latin verb for "To eat" which is "EDERE" and added a preposition to it "COMEDERE", which later became "comer" still with the meaning of "to eat". We italians still have relics of this verb EDERE in the form of adjectives such as "edibile" which means that it can be eated. This adjective is also present in english as "edible" but it sounds really posh, formal, and almost certainly it's a borrowed french term, as are all the words that end in -ble.

lol I really wish you guys had a Dutch person there sitting between the English person and the German person because I'm learning Dutch now and it has similarities to German, English but also French! SUPER interesting.

I love this channel !!!!! I am learning a lott !

In the north of Germany we speak Low German (some more, some less), which is even more similar to English (or the other way around, since English is a Germanic language). English "apple" -> "Apfel" in High German -> "Appel" in Low German.

This was one of the best videos on this channel this year and current times, the team and cast involved in the production and quality and content got a lot right, of course, the parity and equality between Romance and Germanic languages must be preserved, for future videos and of course include new languages Germanic and Romance languages such as Dutch and Norwegian, Catalan and Portuguese. But certain reparations must be made to Paul from LangFocus' video, he must be given full credit and mention his name, his video is 8 years old, it will be a decade in 2026, that's 2016, that video refutes you in everything Just looking at the smile on the corner of his left mouth, the critical look to the left, Paul's x-shaped cross sign says it all, in his speech it is very clear that English is a language that mixes Germanic and Romance Creole between French and Low German languages such as Anglo Saxon, Frisian, Dutch, Danish and French, Greek, Latin and Norman. This same video does not support you in anything, it even refutes you, English is not Germanic, the science of linguistics, archaeology, paleontology and English anthropology refutes you in everything. I suggest you listen more to the channel's linguists among the public, consult serious English archeology works, invite M Thomas, V Ganffey and Envers from the universities of Cambridge and Oxford for a chat, 5 years ago the nonsense and misinformation, the legend, the myth of Nordic English pure Germanic blood and all the racist neo-Nazi and supremacist nonsense have already been debunked in the study of Stonehenge and the cemetery and tomb of Richard the Lionheart. Mix the positive happy people from all past and present casts, many good people no longer appear and are missed, bring them back to us 👍🫂🍾🤗🥰💋💋❤️🌹 We are a virtual family and our role is to help each other. Kisses to all past, present and future casts, which need to be merged into all Korean channels, kisses, love and caresses to Korean and foreign models throughout South Korea ⬇️ stay with God happy 2024 Thank you for the knowledge, play, love, fun and entertainment 🎡🎠 and joy given to everyone in the world was truly worth it.

I really like the French girl, she is very knowledgeable

It might be beneficial to invite an expert on the topic to join in on these discussion. Sometimes the gusts simply have no clue what they're talking about (and that's fine), but then it's nice if someone could shed some light on the situation. Just a suggestion.

I thoroughly enjoyed this vid! Just sitting down, having a conversation, sharing knowledge, feels refreshing.

The reason why Swedish sounds a bit different from English or German, is because Swedish is a North Germanic language, while English and German are West Germanic languages.

By the way, I’d like to mention the fascinating fact that all of these languages are in fact siblings or cousins to each other, because they’re all ultimately descended from a language called Proto-Indo-European that was spoken about 5,000 years ago. Many languages evolved from different dialects of PIE that diverged from each other over time, and one of them was Proto-Germanic (from which English, Scots, West Frisian, North Frisian, Saterland Frisian, Low Saxon, Dutch, Afrikaans, Limburgish, German, Luxembourgish, Yiddish, Danish, Swedish, Elfdalian, Norwegian, Faroese, and Icelandic are descended) and another one of them was Proto-Italic (from which Latin and the Romance languages are descended).

(1:32) 🇺🇸: Oh my God!, it’s so easy to speak Spanish! 🇬🇧: Really? 🇺🇸: Yes! All you have to do is take an English word and put an “o” at the end of it. 🇬🇧: Like, what? 🇺🇸: Perfect - “Perfecto”; Modern - “Moderno”; Correct - “Correcto”; Cool… 🇪🇸: 😨😨😨 🇺🇸: “Culo” 🇪🇸: 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

This video needs to be improved and embellished with all the coherent suggestions from the public so far, the best of 2024, wow, I really miss you 💓❤️❤️💓😘😘😘 kisses to all the models, here's to better videos in this beautiful series of Germanic and Romanic and European families of cultures and languages.

I speak every one of these languages at around a fluent level (except for Swedish, I speak a little). Anyways this is probably the coolest video i’ve ever seen related to language learning because it really shows the similarities and some differences. Thank you for putting this video together

English The English language is a fascinating mix of words and phrases from all over the world. While it is primarily a Germanic language, it has been heavily influenced by other languages. Including French. In fact, it is estimated that up to 60% of the English vocabulary is of French origin. This is due to the Norman Conquest of England in After the conquest, the Norman French became the ruling class of England.

English is a Germanic language, which was heavily influenced by French language.

"Pomo" (like French "pomme") also exists in italian and it can be referred to "apple", although it is seldom used to indicate something with a sort of spherical shape. "Maison" is similar to italian "magione" that is a pretty archaic word to say house or villa specifically.

Welcome Carolina, new girl from Spain! 😃

Love this video ❤

I'm german and study English Literature and Culture partially in University. How the modern English language came to be in a nutshell: Celts on the British Isles, Romans invade, bring Latin, leave after about 350 years cause fall of Rome. Germanic tribes come to British Isles from northern Germany and Denmark, bring Germanic to the Celtic Latin language use which turns into Old English (very similar to modern German in structure and pronunciation). Vikings come to British Isles, bring Old Norse (huge influence on the vocabulary e.g. take, sky, window, milk, they/them,...). In the year 1066 Normans (Northern France) invade and win against the King. French becomes language of the high and educated class and Old English remains the language of the people (as perfectly described by MN-vz8qm in this comment section, it however is not very german anymore due to all the influence of other languages. Still a germanic language tho). War with France, now Middle English is the language of all on the British Isles. Great Vowel Shift happens, English language turns from a synthetic language to an analytic language (big change in grammar and syntax). 1476 William Caxton brings Printing Press to Britain, the language becomes more united, as it was more a cluster of different ways of spelling and pronounciating all over the Isles. So basically, English is a mash up of a few different languages from different regions but the Germanic language had the most influence. Thank you for reading!! Hope I could help and if I got anything wrong, please feel free to correct me or add additional information

It's a nice series, thank you! Btw, the french accent gets me all the time 🤩

9:15 Natürlich haben wir ein Wort dafür: einige

Norman Conquest of 1066 is why English has similarities to Romance languages, especially nouns.

Elysa is really a good representative for France, she has a good knowledge even me as a french i didn't know about the "ô" explanation for Hôpital lol

FYI, the word for animal in German, 'tier', and Swedish, 'djur', is from the same root as 'deer' in English. In old English, the word for animal was 'dēor'.

Probably one of you're most interresting video. I really like how you did it. Continue like that.

UK was also part of the Roman Empire, and received direct influence from Latin at that time, French is a Latin language with strong Germanic and Celtic influences, and English is a Germanic language with strong Latin and Celtic influences

love this group

English is Germanic with influence and roots from Latin. We always refer to the Germanic tribes who came to Britain as Anglo/Saxon-Jutes they mingled with the populace and assimilated then Scandinavian Vikings invaded and so we got a bit of Nordic influence. We call Old English and Norse sister languages because of this invasion and intermixing with the people. The French Norman (A Viking tribe who settled in France) invaded the Isles later as well hence the French roots as well.

I really like this episode of World Friends, very educational. Also, all the girls in this group did a good job sharing their knowledge, opinions and perspectives.

Quite impressed by the French participant and her historical and linguistic knowledge. Few people know that the circumflex accent in hospital (hospital), forest (forest), beast (beste)... signifies the presence at the origin of an S in the word. French was the language of the nobles in England, that's why for example we use French words to designate the meat prepared for the nobles we used: "beef" (beef), "pork" (pork) while the animal name used by the people was "cow" and "pig".

*The* reason *English is* Germanic *is* because *most of the* basic *words, English* grammar, *and the* phonology *is* Germanic. *Even if like 60% of English words come from* Latin, *most aren't* really used. *Instead, the 26%* Germanic *words make up* around *70-90% of the words we* use *daily, and it would be pretty much* impossible *to speak English without the* Germanic vocab. *I'll also highlight all the* Germanic *words to kind of* prove *that what I'm saying is true.* 🙃 *If anyone was* confused, *I hope this helped!* Oh, also theres a tiny mistake in the video. The word "In" isn't actually from Latin😊 It's a native English word but it looks a lot like the Romance equivalents because both Germanic languages and Romance languages are part of the Indo European family, so they share many small similarities in basic words.

Also, the French/Latin etymological distinction in the chart is because many words entered English directly from Latin (such as ˈimmigrationˈ) and many words came from Latin via French ( isle comes ˈileˈ, from Old French ile from Latin ˈinsulaˈ - the s in isle was added to ile in English to make it more Latin like!) in addition to words that entered English from French with a non-Latin origin (such as ˈbranˈ)

For the love of God, hire a linguistics teacher already for this channel 😭

Thanks for the comparison video! But, it's better you put the real written language instead of the english one to prevent misunderstanding when we listen the sound of the language, because sometimes we couldn't hear the sound clearly. And maybe you can add the IPA (international phonetic alphabet) to know how to pronounce the language well. Thank you.

Immigration in swedish is “invandring” which literally means “in wondering” or “in walking” or “in hiking”.

No way they just pulled up a screenshot from Paul's (LangFocus) video 😭

They're all beautiful women with amazing languages.

The French are not of Roman origin, but of Germanic and Celtic origin. When the Romans conquered these lands, they assimilated and their culture changed. That's why they speak a language of Latin origin. We can compare this situation to people who are native to Mexico but speak Spanish.

Nice👍 attractive format.Pretty + cute

English is Germanic ,but the influences of the Norman Kings added latin/french words .

3:43 They may not sound similar but Tier and djur are cognates, and also cognate with the English word deer.

I like this format 👍

What I'd like to see is seeing how segmented people feel about the origins as to why they're exempted from the group. For example, the eastern bloc of Europe with their Nordic group (because the Eastern bloc was under Russia). The same with SEA compared to their Pacific Islands group (Oceania) because they were under India. Or perhaps learning about Turkey as it was mainly European under Roman (latin) then Byzantine (greek) then Ottoman (muslim). All I know is that they use arabic words but their lettering system is latin based. As for the Eastern block, they use cyrillic (greek) and the SE use sanskrit (indian). Of course, they're different now in most cases. I think the pacific islands portions of SEA use latin lettering system whereas the Asian portion would be using sanskrit still. As for the Eastern bloc, I think most use cyrillic but on the western side would be using latin (like Poland). Athough I would only count Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. Then for SEA, only Austronesian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. Better yet, I'd love to see the perspective of the island that is literally split into 2 continents like Papua Island (west side is SEA and east side is Oceania).

7:22 Actually they do have these words. All words with prefixes like con-, pre-, per-, super-, inter-, etc. could be said to be constructed of two words. And when you look at most longer words in Italian, Spanish, Latin etc., you find that they are in fact often made of two words. I think it's often the case for names for animals for instance - hippopotamus = river-horse. But with time and use, it seems to become a single word, and the original component nature of the word is forgotten.

Carolina from Spain is so cute and pretty 😊

In Swedish we use "vän" or "kompis" (from "kompanjon") for friend but we also have "frände" which is not really used nowadays but appear in the word "själsfrände" meaning soulmate. And also the most common way to say immigration is actually "invandring" but "immigration" is the more formal option. For "people" we can use a lot of different words depending on the context. "Folk" more generally speaking and "människor" is more like humans. "Personer" kind of matches persons in most contexts. It would be interesting if you could include the Icelandic girl for further comparisons of the germanic languages!

English is still considered a Germanic language because in the daily basis people are still using words with German origin. The Latin and French words are used more formal ways

Awesome vid

Most English words used every day are Germanic.

Make videos in circular format on the same Romance and Germanic theme with more Germanic languages and more Romance languages equally and the circle filmed from above and inside and on the 4 sides on the 4 diagonal sides, the production will be beautiful, kisses, I love you. 😘▶️♾️💙😉🍾✈️ℹ️🤝🍷🕊️👋🥂🤗🤗🫂💡

I think germanic languages have just assemble different words to create new ones because there had not a reference like romance languages, who has greek or latin references and who instead of taking two words in french or italian or spanish to make one we did that but with latin or greek words. Like for rhinoceros wich is the word used on french for the animal wich mean "horned nose" in ancient greek and wich is not "nezcornu" in french.

There was a missed opportunity to acknowledge that both Germanic and Romance language families are part of the much older Indo-European language family, which is why things like "family" are so recognizable across all the languages. Also, you can deconstruct the words for things like "brother" and "I" and find that they all share the same origin (though Spanish's origin for "hermano" is slightly different than the others), even though they might sound different at first glance.

English is a derivative of Frisian. This is still spoken in the north of the Netherlands and the north of Germany. Frisian used to be spoken in a much larger part of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Frisian is a descendant of Germanic. Just like Dutch and German.

The English language is in its roots a west Germanic language that completely changed its grammar structure to be of Scandinavian origin during the Viking invasion and Scandinavian rule (and of course have some loan words from Scandinavian languages) . That is why English and Scandinavian grammar is so similar. Then came the Norman Conquest and English adopted a shit load of words of French and Latin origin. So English language is a mixture of many different influences to the British Isles.

'Person' is also known in German (as the German should have known - but most fail permanently to describe the reality). For instance in a more formal way like in police reports 'two persons (German: Personen) entered the room' or in traffic 'Personen Nahverkehr' (they would never use the term 'Menschen' in all those cases) ...

For what I know it was the Angels and Saxons that shaped the Old English, later came the Normans with there Norse-French! I belive that the moste importante thing that make English a germannic language its how to put up scenetenses!

This was a nice video 😊

In the next video, my Korean loves, make videos of the models asking if they really understand Proto Italic and Proto Germanic, it will be a very beautiful video and make this video in the new format suggested by me hugs, may the next Romanic X Germanic video be kind and much better, superior than the first one. Bring good energy to us, so be it. 🌼🏵️🌻💐

If there is a parallel world where the afterlife of Dacian, Phrygian, Thracian, Trojan, Hittite, Lusitanian, etc. appears on this channel, it would be interesting to see all of them. However, at least Illyrian has probably survived as Albanian language. Albanians are genetically related to Egypt, and the Albanian language seems to have unusual sounds and grammar that are rare among Indo-European languages, so such a video would be interesting.

Dutch or Frisian is missing, since these languags are actually even closer to English than every other language in this video.

All indo European language shares close to similar root words thus in Anthropology there are genetic links too across the spectrum of Slavic , Germanic or Latin. In the end we each contribute our own unique flavours but essentially we are one big happy/not so happy family lol ...

There are actually some other ways to say hospital in Italian (and I'm pretty sure also in all the other languages). "Hospital" means a place that "hosts" foreign people, ill people; it can be also called "clinica", "casa di cura", "nosocomio" .

Alot of the Romance words in English still have Germanic cognates, either not as often used or mostly used in dialects. People - Folk/Man Yes the majority of the words in English as a whole is Romance, this includes medical, scientific and law, but the majority of your average sentence is Germanic. Again dialects in can play a big role in which words you use.

They forgot to point out that there are multiple words for “people” in the Germanic languages. In English, there’s “people” and “folk”; in Swedish, there’s “personer” and “folk”; and in German, there’s “Personen” and “Volk” (with the V pronounced like F is in English and Swedish).

The visuals displayed from the screen is indeed taken from Langfocus' channel. Not nice not mentioning it in the credits.

I think it would be very interesting to have an episode on the channel with speakers of modern languages having contact with their ancestral language. FOR EXEMPLE: Ex: "Can speakers of Romance languages understand Latin?" Or "Can nordics understand proto germanic?" I think it would be very interesting to have contact with the ancestral language of the people

Swedish is a Germanic language, so it shares the same base as German. However, it is also a Scandinavian language, which is more of a relative to German. Similar, but yet quite different. Swedish developed from Proto-Norse, together with Danish and Norwegian, and thus these languages are mutually intelligible. Swedish basically borrowed a lot of words from the places that pioneered certain things - so a lot of military terms, and construction/work terms, where imported from Germany during the 1600's. Then a lot of cultural influences and words came from France during the 1700's. Latin terms basically influenced all European languages to some degree. So, in written form, Swedish might make more sense for a German person, than Danish/Norwegian, just based on choice of words used in each sentence.

Anglish is an interesting attempt at creating a modern English that is completely Germanic in vocabulary (or close to)

Korean: "English came from Korea"

Because of the norman conquest during 300 years the language in England for official things was french. The king and the court only spoke french

I really can't believe how ignorant these people are. They don't take into account the Norman conquest of 1066 that added over 10k French words into the English language. The language is still Germanic with some romantic influences because of that. Case in point when they had the American say "Animal" and all the Romantic languages said something similar but the Germanic languages said "Tier" and they were all laughing being like "I think English is Latin based haha." That is so cringe. English has the word "Deer" which used to mean all animals that is directly related to the German word "Tier" it's just that over time the English started associating the word "Dier or Deer" with that specific animal because it was the most common type. And this all took place after the "D" and "T" shift between English and German where we see those letters interchangeable today like in the words "Middle" vs "Mittel" or "Salad" vs "Salat" Animal is just a borrowed wored from the Latin word "Animus" which snuck into English thanks to the above stated Norman conquest. Read a fucking book and quit perpetuating ignorance.

Maybe one day we'll end up speaking all almost the same language.

I'm sad they didn't connect the German and Swedish words for "people" with their English cognate in "man"

Germanic languages originated in the Norse countries. Germany being a central European country that has had vastly different borders and not even existing as "Germany" for very long have also other influences. Germany (area) was the seat of the Holy Roman empire for a while. English is mostly influenced by Germanic Languages and then some of French.

Swedish has a lot of words from English, German and French. Our Royal family name is Bernadotte.

Hospital is in German 'Krankenhaus' but ALSO 'Hospital' (or Hospitz for a more old clerical institution and/or regional habbits) are known and used. Also the word 'Klinik' or 'Klinikum'. And knowing this is especially important if you want actually find a 'Hospital', because manyDONT call themself 'Krankenhaus' but use all those words! Especially the really big ones almost never use the term 'Krankenhaus'. And this term is also kind of old school if it comes to the companies/organizations ...

English is really a hybrid of Germanic and Romance languages with a little bit of old Norse thrown in as well. So it's not surprising there are similarities with all the nationalities represented. Hospital has it's origins in Latin originally as Hospes which evolved in to hospitum which was a lodging for guests. It then found it's way into old French as hospitale with the same meaning. In the 14th century, hospitale entered middle English becoming hospital and initially referring to shelters for travelers and pilgrims. Gradually, the meaning shifted to encompass facilities specifically dedicated to caring for the sick and injured. Immigration has Latin roots and both Romance and Germanic languages borrowed heavily from it. It's a relatively new word which was first used in the early 17th century.

In german the dated word ,Siech' means ill person, siechen means suffering. Seuche means dangerous, often deadly disease, which makes many people at once sick.

Fun fact: The most similar language ( grammarly speaking) to old latin is German!

this channel is all about pretty girls 😅❤❤

The germanic group is way less similar than the latin group , for the germanic group would be cool another Nordic member such as danish , ditch would be nice as well , Latin not only influenced romance languages , influenced germanic as well , even the alphabet

Without watching the video, my understanding is that english is remnants of celtic, then Germanic with anglo saxony, latin with the romans, then around 850 with Danelaw norse, then 1066 with norman french for few hundred years. Where upperclass spoke more french and lower class was more german. add 1000 years of blending and shifts until modern English. English has majority of romance based words but is considered a germanic language. Not surprising that behind i think korean, english has the largest vocabulary

all of that lengauges comes from indoeuropean

In german we also have the word "Lazarett" but it's only used for hospitals that are for soldiers and we also have the word "Hospital" for hospital.. it's just prononced differently and not used as much and we also have different words for "people" we say "Menschen" "Personen" or "Leute" the word "some" in german in that sentence would be "ein paar" which translates to "a few" just like in french

In French, the cognate of “casa” is “chez” If we replace the German “Krankenhaus” with its English cognate equivalents, it would be “cranker house” The word “animal” comes from French. Before the word “animal” was adopted into English, the word for animal was “deer”, from Old English “deor”, cognates with German Tier and Swedish djur

it’s funny how they’re separated from each other the same way as they are separated in Eurovision semi finals lol

The Roman Empire took Vulgar Latin from Britain to Judea, already influenced by ancient Greek. It is normal for many words to have the same root in Europe.

They said some words were completely different, but some of them have the same origin. For example: Swedish: Djur, German: Tier, Proto-West-Germanic: deuʀ, Old Swedish: diūr, Old Norse: dýr The common ancestor is the Proto-Germanic: deuzą

I liked the video full of love and cultural affection the romance and germanic cultures are mixed so deep already, there was a lack of Dutch, Latin and Greek speakers in the video. Love in the models, the germanic and the romance languages, and all of the love to the cast that made the video, and it's all well spent I love you all, and to all of the errors and to deal with all your heart forever, love yall sincerely 🫂🍷🌹😘🤗☺️🌺💐💋🤝👍ℹ️🌎💙🙏. Put Dutch, Catalan, Latin , Icelandic and Greek speakers on the next video between Germanic ans Romanic idiom, i love this kind of video.
