What makes French a Latin-Germanic mixed language

15 % of French vocabulary is of Germanic origin.

pas des langues de roman


De quel roman parles-tu? Un roman des grands auteurs français? :-) Mon vieil ami, si tu avais lit un seul livre de linguistique romane tu aurais su que les articles des ces langues se sont développés de certains pronoms démostratifs latins: ille, ipse par exemple. L'apport des langues germaniques est nul à ce sujet.

So we can easily conclude that French is a German language.

pourquoi les Anglo-saxons et germanophones en général veulent-ils à tout prix que le français fasse partie du même groupe qu'eux?

D'ou celà vient-il, résurgence du complexe du barbare enfoui depuis des siècles? terrible manque de confiance en soi? Jalousie héréditaire?

<<So we can easily conclude that French is a German language. >>

French almost ~can~ be thought of as a germanic language, with Romance vocabulary. Were it not for this fact, it might well be a germanic language.

But it barely tips the scale towards Romance

Same as all other things French (Catholicism, culture, ethnicity, usw. :)

What complexes has "porquoi"?

France never was fully Romanized.

" France never was fully Romanized. "


And?? Even Italy wasn't. Greek in south, celtic in north and then Lombards, ostrogoths, and other germanic tribes...
And after: Arabs, normans...

French wants so badly to be called ROmans its ridiculous

they are nothing but peasant sheepherder and sausage fressend franks

" French wants so badly to be called ROmans its ridiculous "


let's forget about romans if it bother you and let us called "romanCE" people. The strange thing is that mostly Germanic peoples and especially English people tend no accepting french as being romance. Since the other people accept us as so, and especially those from the other romance nations, it makes that english speaking peoples seem to feel if we are so... Why only those people feel so? What is the problem with them? Once again displaced and ridiculous unfair jalousy seem an explanation.

I wouldn't agree that other Romance speakers accept French as being the quintessential Romance language. I know many educators from Latin American countries that regard French as "that German-like language" unquote.

French as "that German-like language" unquote

That idiocy only exists in the Anglosphere .
