Here's an excerpt of a press article about Brexit: >After the United Kingdom withdraws from the European Union in 2019, there will be a transitional period for two years, from the day of its departure until it finally withdraws from the Single Market and Customs Union, and ends free movement of citizens. >The British government will introduce new legislation for this purpose in the next session of Parliament, but this will face great opposition from the right of the Conservative Party, who want a complete break with Brussels following the 2016 referendum.
Now here's the same text, but every word of Latin or French descent has been replaced by a Germanic equivalent, or a word borrowed from another Germanic language and adapted to English morphology: >After the Foreoned Kingdom withdraws from the European Foreoning in 2019, there will be an overgoing time for two years, from the day of its outgoing until it endily withdraws from the Onely Handling and Toll Foreoning, and ends free bewaying of boroughers. >The British rulering will forebring new lawgiving for this outgive in the next sitting of Speakering, but this will onsee great againstsetting from the right of the Upsparing Offscything, who want a fullstandy break with Brussels following the 2016 folkbackchoosing.
What do you think? Doesn't it sound much more poetic to you?
>Foreoning >förening så english used to be swedish
Tyler Watson
it looks cool honestly I wish they went back to real english

Tbqh as a Bong I really like the french influence on English, it allows for English to be Romantic despite its Germanic roots. Plus it makes English really unique in its structure, spelling, and punctuation allowing for quite eloquent phrases and sentences not present in wholly Germanic and Romantic languages.

Jason Campbell
can you speak French with thicc English accent? Wanna listen to it
Wyatt Clark
It would be ugly. Latin words are what provide beauty and finesse to the language.
Alexander Evans
Latinate influence saved English from being just another string of saxon grunting noises and allowed it to become a world class language.
Alexander Kelly
Is there a generator for this or did you do it all by yourself? Pretty interesting desu
Jeremiah Myers
it sounds horrendous
Jackson Martin
Wanna listen to French with English accent. Pls Brits, this is the text you read
Whatever, it's still in a horrid accent that sounds nothing like a western IE language. >r as an alveolar tap instead of a uvular fricative
Elijah Kelly
i think even when english was more 'pure' it had a very heavy scandinavian input for instance in my hometown's dialect we still say ga hyem (gå hem) and bairn (barn) and in very strong dialect (like rural areas in the north) people will say "hus" meaning house
Ryder Perry
Mashaallah You need to eat more escargot and wear a small beret
wow, really? danish had a huge influence on english, but even before that it was similar to scandinavian. but bairn should be child, not barn, see, barn = child in scandi
Austin Martin
If you take Romance aspects from English it just becomes an even more incomplete and mediocre language, and in that sentence you didn't even put the grammar corrections it gets from latin.
Even now with all the help it gets from romance tongues it's still BASIC as fuck, you'd just end up with caveman speech .
Jaxon Wood

Michael Miller
2bh that accent was kinda joke, my French accent is still very bad though :( Wew you speak French tres bien. My French professor said that learning French for English natives is like "becoming able to speak 1.2 languages". I know it's kinda exaggeration, but how easy was it?
Alexander Cook
no, French-speakers in louisiania are basically red unfortunately, pic related is me
It was pretty easy but I had previous background in Italian and Spanish. Getting an okay accent took a lot longer than learning the grammar and everything. My Rs used to sound like Arabic.
Oliver Williams
>Wew you speak French tres bien. My French professor said that learning French for English natives is like "becoming able to speak 1.2 languages". I know it's kinda exaggeration, but how easy was it?
there is literally a shit-ton more similarities between scandinavian and English than french and english. why do you think scandis are so good at English and french are not? protip: i skipped all my English lessons yet still speak 10/10 English.
Jacob Taylor
"ga hyem" would easily be understood as "gå hem" in Swedish, the pronunciation is close enough
Jordan Collins

Go fuck yourself you little brown shit.
That's all Germanic.

>56% mutt calls a WHITE Uruguayan brown lol
Jordan Adams
It's like piece of gâteau probably, but I also feel French is easy since I know English grammar to some extent >protip: i skipped all my English lessons yet still speak 10/10 English. Shit I don't wanna live anymore
Chase Carter
Lessons are literally the worst way to learn a language. You get bored in class, don't learn any slang, and go out talking like you're a posh businessman.
Jonathan Morales
Hahaha, exactly, and that's why I'm here.
Sebastian Nelson
Exactly English class is goodd only fro grammar then you have to face the real world to become good That's why japan sucks at other languages, it is because it's a close country
Zachary Price
>why do you think scandis are so good at English and french are not? protestant work ethic?
Hunter Sullivan
Si... how easy is it for you to learn French?
Christopher Peterson
Excellent
Make England Saxon again!
Camden Morgan
bairn is in fact the word for baby in Scots, and now a slang word for baby in Standard Scottish English
Owen Wood
This is not understandable
Better than the swede, I give you the note of kek/10

Easton Campbell
I think even French beginners don't pronounce the plural "s" lol
Josiah Cox
Very very easy I studied french for only 3 years when i was a child and could speak to a medium degree to a french person but as time pass and since I don't have the need to speak french i don't remember so much English to me is 5 times more difficult for example
Ian Gutierrez
Sounds cringey asf without latin, i hate it. I love being RVMAN
Jayden Hall
I think the main problem is that you pronounce silent letters, like the 's' at the end of words in plural
Jaxson Wilson
>t. Rajeet McDublin
Nathaniel Lewis
It definitly will.
Oliver Morgan
English is a shit tier language though.
German, Russian, Japanese are all superior to it.
Jackson James
Nonnnnnnn I'm fucking jealous of youuuuu >mfw my mother tongue is too far from French
Gavin Powell
shouldn't English have a fucked up, medieval word order like German if it returned to its Germanic roots?
Matthew Phillips
This desu. English is the best of the Germanic and Romance branches.
Anglish is cool, but instead of wasting time LARPing in Anglish why not just learn German?

Mason Wood
So this is my French phrase book(Locutions de base) Any opinions, French speaker? >Having Japanese as a mother tongue means losing a key to any kind of language Exactment :D Japanese have the lowest English skill in Asia lol
Isaac Jenkins
looks good these idioms are extremely common
Thomas King
that's what i mean user, bairn means "child" here. there's loads of words like that, for instance bait (old norse: beita), lass (old danish: las), blather (pladder). the long unshifted vowels like in ga rund (gå runt) and especially the grammar are very similar. i think there's evidence to believe that old english spoken beyond a certain line was in the same family and possibly intelligible with old norse
Jordan Kelly
why learn french lol?
Alexander Butler

Michael Watson
it seems accurate, I'll add that "sauver la face" is outdated.
Isaac Evans

>European Isn't it from a Latin word or something...?

Actually I'm suspending my French study lol. Gonna start again next spring I like Sartre and other modern French philosophers, also Levi Strauss. So I wanna read their works in original
Jayden Foster
Europa is greek You are right but germanic tribes doesn't have a word for the continent

Oh, yea, Greek... But it means it's not 'fully' germanic

Our holy prophet was brown. We should all aspire to emulate him (peace be upon him.)
Carson Smith
piss be upon him
Brandon Gomez
to add to this, in yorkshire lots of our dialect is still heavily norse tinged; for instance we say "eyup" which is very similar to the swedish sey upp (and actually has the same meaning, but is also used as a greeting) along with everything the other user said
Noah Robinson
oh and we do that norwegian thing where we repeat ourselves at the end of the sentence >i love scandinavia, me
Jace Ramirez
The Prophet had light skin. Brown (asmar) by Arab standards would be Indian tier brown, which the Prophet was not. Moses, however, is likely asmar
This is a good text to practice your pronounciation, try to also make the liasons.
Don Diègue : Ô rage ! ô désespoir ! ô viellesse ennemie ! N'ai-je donc tant vécu que pour cette infamie ? Et ne suis-je blanchi dans les travaux guerriers Que pour voir en un jour flétrir tant de lauriers ? Mon bras qu'avec respect tout l'Espagne admire, Mon bras, qui tant de fois a sauvé cet empire, Tant de fois affermi le trône de son roi, Trahit donc ma querelle, et ne fait rien pour moi ? Ô cruel souvenir de ma gloire passée ! Oeuvre de tant de jours en un jour effacée ! Nouvelle dignité fatale à mon bonheur ! Précipice élevé d'où tombe mon honneur ! Faut-il de votre éclat voir triompher Le Comte, Et mourir sans vengeance, ou vivre dans la honte ? Comte, sois de mon prince à présent gouverneur ; Ce haut rang n'admet point un homme sans honneur ; Et ton jaloux orgueil par cet affront insigne Malgré le choix du roi, m'en a su rendre indigne. Et toi, de mes exploits glorieux instrument, Mais d'un corps tout de glace inutile ornement, Fer, jadis tant à craindre, et qui, dans cette offense, M'as servi de parade, et non pas de défense, Va, quitte désormais le derniers des humains, Passe, pour me venger, en de meilleures mains.

To be fair, you have to have an ever so hiȝ witscore to understand Rick and Morty. Þe wit is utmostly crafty, and wiþout a strong grasp of beheld worldken most of þe gags will go over a plain watcher's head. Þere's also Rick's wearning outlook, which is deftly woven into his mood- his own outlook draws heavily from Narodnaȝa Volȝa bookcraft, as a forebeeld. Þe rooters understand þis stuff; þey have þe witly inhold to truly get þe depþs of þese gags, to find out þat þey're not just funny- þey say someþing deep about LIFE. As an aftermaþ lede who don't like Rick & Morty truly ARE dolts- kindly þey wouldn't get, as a forebeeld, þe wit in Rick's þingwise fangwords "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a hidden hint to Turgenev's Russish ettin Faþers and Sons. I'm smirking riȝt now just þinking about one of þose addled plainheads scratching þeir muddling heads as Dan Harmon's oversmart wit unfolds itself on þeir farseer shirms. What dolts... how I feel bad for þem. And ȝes, by þe way, i DO have a Rick & Morty carving. And no, ȝou cannot see it. It's for þe ladies' eȝes only - and even þen þey have to show þat þey're wiþin 5 witscore of my own (I'd hope lower) beforehand. Noþin beliȝting kid
